Program Information

  • Notification of Absences

    If your child is at school but will be absent from EDEP, you must notify the school office or EDEP staff by 12:00 noon. If your child is absent from school, he/she will not be expected to attend EDEP. Absences from the EDEP will be verified daily against the school absentee list. Children must be at school no later than noon to attend EDEP. A child absent from school MAY NOT attend EDEP.

    If a child attended school and is expected to come to the EDEP but is not present at roll call, the coordinator will make every effort to notify the parents. The call will alert parents that their child did not come to the EDEP and will determine where the child is expected to be.  Any changes must be in writing and given to the teacher, school, as well as directly to the EDEP staff. Failure to notify staff of these changes, three times, will result in dismissal from the program.

    Please see the EDEP parent handbook  for more information

     

Homework Success

  • Homework

    Homework time is scheduled each day with the exception of Fridays. It is very difficult to determine when some children have homework. Therefore, you may wish to discuss with your child the procedure you would like to observe concerning homework.

    The EDEP staff is available to answer questions during this time. However, one-on-one tutoring is not available. Please encourage your child to work on homework during the scheduled time. Ultimately, it is the responsibility of the parent to check homework for completion and accuracy.  Students are expected to bring their own supplies for homework.

    Toys

    The EDEP is not responsible for personal play items as they can be damaged, misplaced, or lost. All personal items should be left at home.

Daily Schedule

  • Program Activities

    The program will vary from school to school, according to the interests of the children and talents of the staff. All programs will include home-work and snack time, as well as recreational, academic, and enrichment activities.

    Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for active play.  Tennis shoes and a change of clothes are recommended.
