[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do they apply sunscreen? It’s HOT, and there’s no way the sunscreen I put on her at 7am is still working. Should I send some in with her? I have heard from multiple people that snack and lunch are short/quick. If I send in extra snack, will there be time when she could eat more during extended day snack time? I’m thinking of adding a protein to supplement the goldfish or whatever they will give. [/quote]

A few words of advice from a veteran parent.  My kids did extended day for years.  It's convenient, reasonably-priced, well-supervised and your kid will probably have a blast.  But make no mistake--it's mass babysitting.  No one is going to sunscreen your kid, give your kid an extra snack, or cater to any other individual whims and desires (unless it's a documented allergy or the needs are spelled out in an IEP.)  Embrace the chaos.  [/quote]
Well supervised may be an overstatement.  A kid got bit by a dog at extended day at our school last year and ran to the bathroom with a bleeding face.  The extended day staff didn't see it or notice and had no idea until another student told a staff member that a kid was bleeding in the bathroom.  The kid needed stitches on her face.  Supervised would mean that staff would at least notice the commotion, even if they didn’t see it directly. Well supervised would mean that staff would have stopped it from happening.[/quote]

Dogs shouldn't be on school property at ALL.  And tackling one is definitely outside their job description.  The person at fault for that is the dog owner.[/quote]
