AFTER-SCHOOL CHILD CARE PROGRAM

     The Commack School District and SCOPE (Suffolk County Organization for the Promotion of Education) provides a financially self-supporting after-school child care program for children in grades K-5, licensed by the New York State Department of Social Services.
     The program  will operate on full school days from dismissal to 6 p.m. at Burr Intermediate and Mandracchia-Sawmill Intermediate Schools.
     Buses will transport children from North Ridge and Indian Hollow Primary Schools to the Burr site while children from Rolling Hills and Wood Park Primary Schools will be  transported to the Mandracchia-Sawmill site.
     This program offers a safe, fun, and caring environment for children of working parents where they may participate in a variety of age-appropriate activities, including arts and crafts, theme parties, stories, and games. Children will be given a snack each afternoon and will have an opportunity to work on homework assignments.

BAD WEATHER

   A delayed school opening procedure on inclement weather days will be used when it appears that schools can open safely at a later time. Opening will be delayed for one or two hours later than the usual schedule.  Schools shall adjust their school day accordingly, so that dismissal is at the usual time.  Children will be transported back home on the usual transportation schedule.

Delayed school openings will be posted on the Commack Website, http://www.commack.k12.ny.us , and the telephone chain, when available, will be activated similar to the way it would be if the schools were to be closed for that day.

Recorded announcements of Commack school closings may be obtained by telephone: 368-5555.

In the absence of any announcement or posting, it should be assumed that schools are open.

Residents are urged not to call the school or the District switchboard so that we may be permitted to handle the expected high volume of emergency calls.
