The Brentwood Elementary After Care Program is an affordable, safe, healthy, and fun environment for children of working parents. The program operates from 3:15 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on all scheduled school days, beginning with the first day of school. Every attempt is made to maintain a ratio of 1 adult per 20 children with children being grouped by grade level. Time for completion of homework is scheduled every day in After Care. Group leaders do offer advice and assistance on homework, but parents are encouraged to recheck their children’s assignments for completion and accuracy. A healthy snack is provided at After Care, but children may bring their own healthy snacks from home. Once homework and snack are finished, indoor group activities, games, and occasional arts and crafts projects are led and supervised by the group leaders. Weather permitting, children are also taken outside for supervised games and activities. On rainy days, movies are shown indoors. REGISTRATION & FEES There is an annual, non refundable registration fee of $25.00 per child due at the time of registration. Registration must be done in person by a parent or legal guardian. Parents also need to bring the names and phone numbers of adults authorized to pick up children. The parent must also provide current emergency contacts and medical information and documentation for special custody situations. The cost of the After Care Program is based on a daily rate per child as stipulated in the following plan: Ø 1st child $7.00 per day Ø 2nd child $6.00 per day Ø 3rd child $5.00 per day Ø Reduced Lunch $6.00 per day (must provide verification form) Ø Free Lunch $5.00 per day (must provide verification form) Monthly payment is due by the 15th of each month. Any account that becomes more than $20.00 past due will result in dismissal from the program until the balance and one week in advance is paid in full. A late fee will be charged if payment is not received by the 15th. PARENT RESPONSIBILITIES & DISCIPLINE Parents must come directly to the cafeteria to sign out children from the After School Care program. Adults only may pick up students, and they must provide a photo ID. Children are to be picked up no later than 6:00 p.m. A $1.00 per minute fee will be charged after this time. If tardiness is chronic, participation in the program will be in jeopardy. Students are expected to follow the school rules during After Care. If an infraction occurs, a program staff member will discuss the misbehavior with the parent, and the parent must sign a warning form. The third warning may result in a three-day suspension or dismissal from the program. If the misbehavior is severe enough, suspension or dismissal can result without warnings. Brentwood School administrators will make final decisions regarding suspension or dismissal. If you have any questions about the After School Care Program please contact Ms. Dori Trieb at 361-6651 or email her at: |

The
Brentwood Guidance Department strives to improve the personal, social,
academic, and career development of all students through a variety of
services and interventions which include individual counseling, small
group counseling, classroom guidance lessons, and teacher/parent
consultation. The small group counseling topics offered are anger management, self-esteem, divorce, and loss of a family member.
Brentwood
has developed and implemented a school wide conflict resolution and
character development program known as Kelso's Choices, which
includes classroom guidance lessons, video presentations, and monthly
character themes, such as responsibility, friendship, and respect. This
engaging program teaches students how to effectively handle conflict in
a positive, productive manner, helps build self-esteem, and encourages
children to treat others with compassion and respect. If you have any questions about the services offered by our guidance department please contact Mrs. Susan Botsakis at 361-6230 or email her at: |

It is a very distressing time for a young child when he or she feels sick or in pain at school, away from home and family. For this reason, Brentwood has a Health Room, staffed by a health room aide, to provide care and relief for your child during school hours. HEALTH ROOM GUIDELINES The Health Room is a temporary respite when first aid is necessary. Therefore, a child will be sent back to the classroom as soon as possible after feeling better or having his or her needs met. If, after a reasonable length of time, the child does not feel well enough to return to class, a parent or responsible adult will be called to take the child home. If the child needs to be sent home, it will be necessary for the parent to SIGN OUT the child being taken from school. MEDICATION CAN BE GIVEN TO STUDENTS ONLY IF ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY DURING SCHOOL HOURS AND ONLY AFTER THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN MET:
Pediculosis--Periodic head checks are conducted at school to control head lice. If head lice or nits are found, parents will be contacted to pick up their child for treatment. THE CHILD MAY RETURN TO SCHOOL AFTER TREATMENT, AND ONLY WHEN ALL NITS HAVE BEEN REMOVED. We do not diagnose illnesses. However, in the event a child appears to have a contagious health problem such as lice, impetigo, ringworm, pinkeye, scabies, etc., the parent will be notified and arrangements will be made for the child to be taken home. The student will be readmitted to school when the problem has cleared up or with a written notice from a doctor stating that the case is under treatment and no longer contagious. Please keep in mind that we are equipped with and permitted to stock such items as thermometers, ice packs, band-aids, gauze bandages, Betadine, and rubbing alcohol. Much can be done to aid and comfort a child in the case of minor ailments with these few supplies and lots of T.L.C. But if your child is ill, please keep him or her at home where conditions are better for recuperation. Your diligence in this area will also help us to control the spread of contagious illnesses. HEALTH/EMERGENCY INFORMATION CARD A health/emergency information and parental consent card is necessary for each child at Brentwood. This card is filled out by the parent at the time of registration and is updated each year. It provides the school with important information that is needed if a child is injured or becomes ill at school. This information will help us contact you or someone designated by you in case a serious accident or illness does occur. Please include on the card all available telephone numbers, including cell phone numbers. The card also authorizes the school to call your doctor and/or seek emergency treatment for you child if we are unable to reach you and others listed. It is extremely important that the information be kept current. PLEASE REPORT ANY CHANGES IN YOUR INFORMATION TO THE OFFICE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. If you have any questions or concerns about your child's health or school policies, please contact our health room aide Ms. Dale Senkbeil at 361-6230 or email her at: |
