MAIN SAFETY MEASURES UPDATE

As a rule, LFC*extra follows the same main policies established during the day. The third session will follow the rules established for level 2 of our protocols scaled system. This means that:

Cohorts system for maternelles: Students can only register for La Garderie. This childcare program covers the full week for pre-k to K. Add Wednesday afternoon program as needed.

No more cohorts for grades 1-5: Students can continue to register for Les clubs (Homework help), but families can also register them for other programs such as Les Ateliers

Mask wearing: Mandatory indoors for students and staff; Masks can now be removed when outside.

Social distancing: 6 feet apart.

Regular Hand washing: Always before re-entering the classroom, or every 45 minutes during bathroom breaks. Hand sanitizer used when entering the classroom as well

Snacks: Eaten in classroom or outdoors during transition time. No distribution. Students must bring their own.

TRANSITIONS FOR MATERNELLES (3-3:30pm)

During pick-up time, Maternelles students registered after school will remain in their classrooms under the supervision of their classroom assistant. At 3:15pm, when most students have been picked-up, they will seat at a table and eat their snack. To avoid distributing items from hand to hand, we will not provide snacks this year as we normally do. Each student should bring their own.

At 3:25pm, the after school team will assemble children from the same grade staying after school in one of the three classrooms of their choice. Before entering into the new classroom, students will stop by the bathroom and wash their hands. They will also use hand sanitizer when entering the classroom.

TRANSITIONS FOR GRADES 1-5 (3:20-3:35pm)

At 3:20pm, in every grade from grade 1 to grade 5, students leaving by foot will go to the Wilson entrance with one of their teachers, and those leaving by car will go to the Allee Alain Weber with another one of their teachers. Students staying in after school stay in the second floor hallway where the after school employee in charge of their group for the day will meet them and take attendance before taking the after school group to recess. Students will eat the snack that they brought from home outside during their recess period.

In case of rain or cold, recess will take place in the hallways and in the homework help classroom used for each grade that day.

Upon their return from recess at 3:35pm, students from each grade will wash their hands, use hand sanitizer and congregate in classroom A, B or C to start doing their homework. Those registered for an atelier will meet their instructor at the end of recess outside, or in the hallway

Once their homework or atelier is done, students registered for the second part of the evening will participate in outdoor games, playground play, gardening, or indoor activities such as art projects, construction games, board games, etc.

PICK-UP PROCESS

All after school pickup takes place in Allee Alain Weber, in front of the Lycée’s west lobby.
Pickup time is at 4:35 pm for students registered in the first part of the program, or anytime between 4:45pm and 6 pm if registered for extended stay
Parents are authorized to park their car in the Alain Weber alley while they walk to the west lobby entrance to pick up their child
To promote social distancing, we ask that parents leave as soon as possible once their child has been picked up

For students registered until 4:35pm

Students registered for the first part of the program (until 4:35pm) will be brought down to the west lobby at 4:35pm for pick-up.
Parents or other adults authorized for pickup will present their pickup cards to the LFC team member in charge of the child who will check that the number on the card matches the number on the child's backpack.

For students registered until 6pm

Students registered until 6pm can be picked up anytime between 4:35pm and 6pm.
Pre-k to K children registered to stay later will remain in their afterschool classroom or at the playground with their cohort.
Grades 1-5 students will stay in room 100, the little gym or at the playground for the second part of their evening.
A host will be present at the door of the West Lobby entrance between 4:45pm and 6pm.
Parents will present their pick-up card to the host.
The host will enter the pickup number in the carpool spreadsheet, automatically informing all LFC*extra staff that the child associated with that number is ready for pickup.
When the child/children arrive, the host on duty will check that the card number on their backpack matches the card number given by the adult for pickup

Important note about pick-up

The Wednesday pick-up at 3pm takes place on the Allee Alain Weber side for both pick-up by car and by foot. Just like parents coming by car, parents coming by foot will present their card to the host and their child will be brought to them. Pick-up by car will take place in the same way as every other day at 3pm.

Pick-up for students staying later than 3pm will take place the same way that it is organized during the rest of the week (see Pick-up process section above).
