After School Program Details
- Please make sure to inform your child’s classroom teacher of their Right At School schedule.
- A snack will be provided daily. You are welcome to send your child with an alternative nut-free snack from home if you prefer.
- If your child will not be in after school, we appreciate an email to our team at [program email]. Our team follows a strict protocol for children who do not show up to our program after school, including calling home, alerting school administration, and escalating to local authorities as necessary. Please help us to be as safe and efficient as possible by letting us know if your child is not attending the program.
- Pick-up is anytime until the end of the program at [pick-up location].
- Right At School will not release a child to a person who does not have custody or guardianship of the child or who has not been authorized by a parent or guardian to pick up the child. When an authorized pick-up arrives, the authorized pick-up person is responsible for signing the child out. Please make sure that any authorized pick-up including the parent/guardian brings a photo ID for identification verification. To update your account details, please use the Family Portal Contact Updates form through your RAS Family Portal Account. This form allows you to add or remove authorized pickups, emergency contacts, or primary caregivers.
- If you are running late to pick up your child, please call our program cell phone at [program phone], so we can communicate this to your child.
Please note: late pick-up fees will apply if your child is picked up after the program ends. This policy is non-negotiable, and your payment method on file in the online portal will be automatically charged. Repeated late pick-ups may lead to suspension or termination from the program.
For full policy details, see the Enrollment, Tuition, Fees, & Discounts section in our Family Handbook.
Before School Program Details
- Drop off is any time after the start of the morning until school starts at [drop-off location].
- Parents/guardians are responsible for escorting their child to the Right At School program (please note for the safety of everyone, participants must be signed in to the program by a parent/guardian, so curbside drop off is not permitted). Right At School staff will release children to their appropriate classrooms at the start of the school day.
- If your child will not be in before school, we appreciate an email to our team at [program email].
Electronic Attendance PIN
Right At School uses an Electronic Attendance System, which means we no longer require physical signatures for signing in or out your student. Instead, every authorized pickup on your account will have a unique Authentication (PIN) Code that will act as their digital signature for signing in or out your student each day. It is important that each pickup person uses their personal Authentication (PIN) Code.
After registering for the first time in the new RAS Family Portal, you should have received an email to activate your account. During this process, you should have also received an email with your Assigned PIN Code. Keep this PIN code handy; you will need it daily during drop-off and pick-up to sign your child in or out. You can also find your PIN code on the RAS mobile app. Simply click on the person icon at the bottom of the screen, then tap your name.
Anyone listed as an Authorized Pickup or Emergency Contact should receive an email to activate their account, along with a separate email containing their Assigned PIN code. Please ensure that these individuals are aware of the need to complete these essential steps.
E-LOP/ASES Attendance Policy
In accordance with California E-LOP and ASES regulations, Right At School’s Late Arrival and Early Release Policy ensures student attendance and safety. This policy allows students to arrive late or leave early for valid reasons like transportation schedules, extracurricular activities, emergencies, or court orders. Parents must submit a signed form, and frequent violations can impact program eligibility.
For full policy details, see the E-LOP/ASES Attendance Policy Addendum in our Family Handbook.
