Dear families,
 

We are happy to announce that “Aligning the Learning Day” Enrichment Program will be at your school for the 2018-2019 school year. ALD will begin on September 4, 2018.  OfferedMonday-Friday from the conclusion of the school day until 5:30pm.
 

 Why choose ALD:
 

*A convenient and affordable after-school enrichment program focused on enriching the total learner.
 

*A focus will be on the individual learner, socially, emotionally, physically and academically. Homework is a main focus as the program works closely with your child’s classroom teacher.
 

*Enrichment offerings include a variety of enrichment activities and engaging itinerants, such as Art Accolades, STEAM, Robotics, Culinary and much more!
 

*ALD Enrichment Programs consists of certified teachers and program specialists.
 

Enrollment in the program requires a minimum participation of 2 enrichment programs per week (keeping your child’s days consistent each week for the safety of the program). There is an annual non-refundable registration/material fee of $50 per family that is billed directly to your credit card, and the cost of the programming is $20 per student per enrichment class with a minimum of two enrichment programs per week. If attending 5 days per week, there is a $5 discount per week ($95). We do not offer a sibling discount.  Form of payment is through credit/debit card only. Your credit card will be charged weekly on a Friday throughout the school year. Days we do not charge for: Thanksgiving, December, February and April break.  All other holidays are charged.
 

Please note: We are a tree nut/peanut free program.
 

You would provide your child with a labeled ALD snack that is tree nut/peanut free.  Our ALD Program is tree nut/peanut free. Please be aware that we do have students with severe nut allergies. Our ALD staff are trained in Epi Pen administration. If your child carries an Epi Pen, one is ALWAYS needed in their backpack for the ALD program.
 

When your child’s school day is over, they will be dismissed directly to the ALD teacher and will then begin the designated program.

​

Your child will need a note to give to the school secretary, classroom teacher and contact me if there is a change in their afternoon schedule i.e adding an enrichment class, out sick etc……
 

*Anyone picking up a student from ALD must have a valid ID and be listed on the Emergency card. Your child can be picked up from ALD at any time, but no later than 5:30 pm. There will be a note on the door with the ALD teacher’s cell phone number. Please call the number and an ALD staff member will let you in.  Also, just a reminder, for the safety of all the children, we follow the schools policy for dismissal. We ask that parents remain near the ALD sign out sheet located near the front door. An ALD staff member will bring your child out to you for dismissal. Thank you for your cooperation.
 

Reminders:
 

Again, holidays we do not charge for: Thanksgiving, December, February and April break.  All other holidays are charged. These days are also listed on our website. ALDprogram.com. If your child’s day falls on a charged holiday, they can be made up within one week.  Please contact me and a note needs to be sent to the school stating the day you are making up. Also, if your child is no longer attending the ALD program, you will be charged until the end of that quarter/trimester.
 

During inclement weather ALD follows the Cranston Public Schools cancellation policy. If Cranston Public schools are closed, ALD will be closed.  If Cranston Public Schools are open and after school activities are cancelled, the ALD enrichment program will also be cancelled. Please make sure to follow your local TV channels, radio and social media for up-to-date closings.
 

We follow the Cranston Public School schedule/calendar.
