[quote=Anonymous]I have a child at Deal and raised issues about the afterschool program to the coordinaotr in the fall before she left and to the  6th grade asst principal in the fall and the spring.  I had money set aside this year in the FSAfeds to pay for it.  I was very concerned when I discovered it was free - because that meant to me that the minimum would be done - which it was.

While certain communications are regular at Deal such as the weekly newsletter from the administration, other communication among the parent community and to parents with students in the afterschool program just doesn't happen. For example, I had no idea which students were in the program, so I could be in touch with other parents.   I just learned about the Deal yahoo group in June and could not find anyone to tell me there was a group to discuss issues.  I am not looking for a handout, but there was not an easy, clear way to raise concerns about the program.  And FWIW, my DC spent many years at the Murch afterschool program.  We have to find a solution - it is not ok for my child to be home alone.   And for those with younger kids - our kids were in the cohort where birthday cutoff was Dec 1, so yes - some kids could be 10 at the start of the school year. [/quote]
