Waters Before Care Program - Kindergarten - 8th Grade

8/23/2021

 
Waters Before Care Program is a fee based program designed for working parents who may be in need of supervised child care before school. Waters Before Care starts at 7:15 am daily beginning on the first day of school, Monday, August 30.  Students will have the option of receiving breakfast at school and will be escorted to their classrooms at 8:15 am.
 
The Before Care Program has a flat rate of $125.00 per month, per child. Please pay online using the electronic payment system or by check made payable to Waters School.
Payments are due on the first of each month. In cases where the first of the month falls on a holiday, the payment should then be made when school resumes. If your payment is not made at this time, your child will not be able to participate in the program until the monthly payment has been paid. The fee is not prorated regardless of the number of weeks or days a child attends school or the program.This also applies to the number of days or weeks school is in session.  Registration forms are available online or in the main office. 
 
Morning drop off is through the main entrance of the school at Door # 1.
If you have additional questions, please contact the main office at (773)534-5090.

 
Please know that we are planning to transition our Before Care Program to Right at School in October.  We believe this option will provide parents with more flexibility and savings when combined with the Right at School After School programming.  More information will come in early September regarding this transition.
 
If you would like to sign your child up for the Waters Before Care Program, please complete the registration form and email to Melissa Mendez at mmendez54@cps.edu.

Programa Waters Before Care - Kindergarten - 8vo grado
El programa Waters Before Care es un programa basado en tarifas diseñado para padres que trabajan y que pueden necesitar cuidado infantil supervisado antes de la escuela. Waters Before Care comienza a las 7:15 am todos los días a partir del primer día de clases, el lunes 30 de agosto. Los estudiantes tendrán la opción de recibir el desayuno en la escuela y serán acompañados a sus salones de clases a las 8:15 am.


El programa Before Care tiene una tarifa fija de $ 125.00 por mes, por niño. Pague en línea utilizando el sistema de pago electrónico o con cheque pagadero a Waters School.
Los pagos vencen el primer día de cada mes. En los casos en que el primer día de mes sea feriado, el pago debe hacerse cuando se reanude la escuela. Si su pago no se realiza en este momento, su hijo no podrá participar en el programa hasta que se haya pagado el pago mensual. La tarifa no se prorratea independientemente de la cantidad de semanas o días que el niño asiste a la escuela o al programa. Esto también se aplica a la cantidad de días o semanas que la escuela está en sesión. Los formularios de inscripción están disponibles en línea o en la oficina principal.

La entrega por la mañana es a través de la entrada principal de la escuela en la Puerta # 1.
Si tiene preguntas adicionales, comuníquese con la oficina principal al (773) 534-5090.


Por favor, sepa que estamos planeando hacer la transición de nuestro programa de cuidado previo a Right at School en octubre. Creemos que esta opción brindará a los padres más flexibilidad y ahorros cuando se combina con el programa Right at School After Care. Más información vendrá a principios de septiembre con respecto a esta transición.

Si desea inscribir a su hijo en el programa Waters Before Care, complete el formulario de registro adjunto y envíe un correo electrónico a Melissa Mendez a mmendez54@cps.edu.

Welcome Back from Sandra Carlson, Principal in Charge

8/17/2021

 
Dear Waters Community,
 
August 30 is our start date for the new school year.  We look forward to seeing everyone – in person - @ 8:15 that Monday morning.  Please remember facemasks are required for all entering the building and the health screener must be filled out prior to entry.   Yes, each student must have a health screener completed before coming into the building.  If you need help, staff will be available at entry doors, but the procedure is the same as last year.
 
We have some exciting reopening events planned and we hope you will be able to attend all of them!
