I would like to thank all of you that participated in the school-wide survey. Your feedback is an important tool in shaping the After School Program. I would like to respond to your concerns and let you know of the immediate changes being made to improve the program.
Safety is of the up-most importance and many changes are happening to ensure the security of students in ASP. This week all ASP staff will be undergoing a safety training that will prepare us for emergency situations such as evacuation, lockdown procedures, and extreme weather protocol.
Another immediate change in order to establish a safer environment is a change in the unlocked door after 5:00pm. As you know, until 5:00pm, the front doors remain unlocked. When office staff leaves they will continue to lock the main entrance of the school. After 5:00pm, please enter through the Monarch room door. This is the door that is the furthest North within the preschool playground. Please enter through this door after 5:00pm. Entering through this door allows for ASP staff to see who is coming into the building. All other doors will be locked after 5:00pm.
Another concern expressed in the survey was the need for a more nutritious snack. To address this, I will continue to prepare one fruit or vegetable everyday and I will be reducing the amount of snacks that contain hydrogenated oils. Organic and optimally nutritious grains will be served for snack as often possible.
Thank you again for your responses in the survey. Please contact me with any additional concerns you may have about the After School Program.
ASP Director
