Arrival and Pick Up Procedures

Arrival and Pick Up Procedures

Arrival Procedure

  • Please enter through the doors by the parent parking lot/climbing rock between 6:30 am and 8:00 am.
  • Parents and children are required to remove their wet/muddy outdoor shoes before leaving the carpet at the main entrance.
  • We require all parents to sign their child in and out each day.  This is mandatory by licensing so please allow enough time to do this.
  • Please make sure your child is dressed for all weather.  Winter attire should include a warm coat, snow pants, toque, mittens and proper footwear.

Pick Up Procedure

  • WES Before & After School Program students will be dismissed at the first bell (3:02pm).
  • Students in Grade 1-6 are required to head straight to the WES Before & After School Program (Room 136) after their homeroom teacher dismisses them, with all of their things.
  • Arrangements will be made between the Wheatland Elementary School Staff and the WES Before & After School Program Staff to ensure that the Kindergarten students arrive at the program smoothly.
  • Attendance will be taken as students arrive at the after school program.
  •  In the event that a student has not checked in, we will make an announcement for them to check in.  A supervisor will also check the playground. If they still have not checked in, we will call parent contacts.
  • Students will receive a snack shortly after arriving, approximately between 3:15 – 3:30 pm.  Students may also choose to eat what is remaining in their lunchboxes.
  • Throughout the afternoon, students will participate in many activities such as homework, reading, student-led activities, crafts, physical activities in the gym and free play.  If the weather is favorable, the students will enjoy some outside play.
  • Please make sure your student has proper clothing for the weather.
  • When picking up your student, please make sure you are picking up no later than 6:00 pm.
  • Please remove your wet/muddy shoes before leaving the carpet at the doors.  This helps keep our school clean.
  • Students will be expected to clean up their activity before leaving.  We encourage parents to help with this. 
  • We require all parents to sign their student out at the end of the day. A student will not be released without being signed out by an approved adult.  If someone new is picking up your student(s), please let the Program Supervisor know ahead of time by emailing wesbeforeafterprogram@gmail.com or texting 403-499-9324.

***Please note that if you are late picking up your student, you will be charged a late pick up fee of $1.00 per minute each time.  We understand that things happen so we will allow for 3 warnings. Please make sure to text us 403-499-9324 in the event that you are going to be late.
