Gator Care Procedures Contact information: ​ gatorcare@havergal.on.ca

Before School Gator Care ● Before School Gator Care Program begins at 7:15 am and supports parents whose schedules require them to drop off their children at school before 8 am, as well as to accommodate siblings of girls who are involved in early morning activities. ● There is no charge for Before School Gator Care. ● If a student has a sibling who has an athletics practice prior to 7:15 am, she is to accompany the sibling to the practice until Gator Care opens. After School Gator Care ● The After School Gator Care Program operates each day from 3:15 to 6 pm. ● Supervision cannot be provided on school holidays (refer to the Parent Portal for school holidays and half-day holiday dates). ● The After School Gator Care Program format is flexible and responsive to the needs of the students. It allows for the following:

○ a healthy and nutritious snack; ○ unstructured, supervised play;

○ organized activities by Gator Care Staff (e.g., crafts, games, etc.); and ○ a quiet area where students are able to complete homework assignments.

After School Gator Care Billing Rates ● The cost for the Gator Care service is $15 an hour. ● Billing occurs in 6-minute increments. ● Late Fee after 6 pm: $25 flat fee (this is in addition to the regular fee).

After School Gator Care Registration ● Parents ​ ​ must ​ ​

register their children for the After-School Gator Care Program by email or phone. This is a matter of safety as the school must be able to account for the whereabouts of our students while onsite. ● If you know that you child(ren) will be attending Gator Care regularly throughout the year, you must send one email with the dates that you know you will be using the service. If the dates changes, you must email the new dates.
