Afterschool Club Rules & Guidelines

2010/2011 School Year

Port City Gymnastics provides transportation to the “After School Club at Port City Gymnastics”.  Our program is offered to children at the following elementary schools; Murrayville, Eaton, Ogden, Blair, Wrightsville Beach, College Park, and all 3 Topsail schools.  Activities include: free play in the gym, board games and crafts, as well as homework and snack time.  WE ARE NOT A DAYCARE!  We help develop happy, healthy children.  Homework and games are essential to our program.  We are a free-to-come-and-go facility and our stock in trade is well-rounded children.  Your child will get lots of physical exercise.  They will practice discipline, manners and respect for teachers, parents and other students, as well as themselves.  They will gain self-esteem and confidence through our program.  Your child’s positive attitude will be encouraged and will carry over into school work and all other activities.  Tutoring programs are also available at the front desk.   Pick-up by 6:00 PM, LATE FEES APPLY.

Allisen, Trish, Joe and the Afterschool Club Team want to welcome you to Port City Gymnastics Afterschool Club.  Most of us are parents and understand the frustration that sometimes comes with afterschool care.  Being onsite owners, we take pride in our programs and participate in them daily, whether it be picking up the children or helping with homework.  If at anytime you feel there is a problem, please come see us…we know we can resolve any issues in a fair and balanced manner.  We want you to know that your child’s safety and wellbeing is our utmost concern.  We schedule our staff around the number of children enrolled.  We are somewhat flexible; however, there is a balance necessary to ensure your child gets the care that you expect.  With that in mind, there are a few rules that must be followed.  Make sure you dress your child for the weather and the gym - shorts for the gym, coats for the cold days.

 

Afterschool Care Ends at 6:00PMWe understand the traffic in Wilmington, and at times you will be late….we will allow you the first 10 minutes.  After 6:10 there will be a late charge of $10.00 per 15 minutes.   There are always special situations call us - we are very understanding.

 

Daily Pick-ups...When you ask PCG to pick-up your child, we are obligated to make sure that we do that.  We have a roster that is followed every day.  When we get to the school and your child is not there or has been moved to a car rider, we have to verify that information.  This puts a strain on the system, for the school as well as PCG.  We cannot return to the gym or continue on our route to the next school until we have verified the whereabouts of your child.  That takes up time for us and the school administrators.  We are all on a schedule.  If your child is scheduled to be picked-up by PCG and he/she is out of school or has been picked up early from school for any reason, YOU MUST NOTIFY PCG in a timely manner.  We will assess a $5.00 charge to your account for each incident of non-notification.  

 

Prorated Bills…There are no prorating of bills for sickness, vacation, doctor visits, etc. unless you fill out a Notice of Absence form at the front desk the week before the scheduled absence.  NO EXCEPTIONS.

 

Snacks… We provide snacks each and every day.  If your child wants to purchase something different than what we serve, they are free to do so.  We do not provide lunches.  If your child is here for early release or other non-school days, you must pack a lunch.
