If you would like to register your child for the Before and After School Programs, complete the registration form and mail it to our office. Pay particular attention to the work numbers, emergency numbers, and alternate pick-up people. Those are the numbers we will use to locate you if your child does not arrive on a day we expect him or her at the After School Program.

We must have a new registration form each year, even if your child attended the program last year.

Return the registration form with payment for your child’s first five day ticket. Checks should be made out to New Morning Schools. There is no registration fee, but we must have the registration form on file before your child’s first day of attendance at the program.

The State requires us to have a health form on file for your child listing all immunizations. We do not have access to the school nurse’s records. Please forward a health form to us before your child’s first day at the program. The State requires an updated health form every two years.

Once your child is registered, a phone call to our office will activate his or her registration. Your phone call will let us know the first day that we will expect your child at the program. You can leave a scheduling message at any time, day or night! Please notify us if your child is scheduled to attend but will not, and remember to let us know your child’s name and school.

In addition to the call, a note to your child’s teacher will insure that all the adults responsible for your child’s safety know what he or she should be doing after school.

Please send a snack and drink for your child to eat at the After School Program every day. They are usually starved! It is a good idea to pack the after school snack in a bag separate from your child’s lunch. We all go outside to play every day, weather permitting.

If you have any questions, call our office at 669-3591, 8:30 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday. After hours and weekends you can leave a message, including your child’s name and the school they attend. We have a lot of fun at the Before and After School Programs and look forward to having your child join us!

The New Morning Before and After School Programs offer safe, enjoyable activities for your child. We are located right at the Maple Avenue School.

Our Before School Program starts at 7 am in the multipurpose room. You must walk your child into the gym and sign him or her in on their ticket. Your child can attend the morning program with no prior notice (except completed registration form) and we will provide a variety of indoor activities. At the right time, with all personal belongings in tow, we’ll send your child to his or her classroom or outside to the playground to join friends coming off the buses. We’ll get Glen Lake students safely on their bus to school.

Your child will be dismissed to the After School Program meeting place at the end of the school day, and “check-in” on his or her individual attendance ticket. As soon as all the children are accounted for, we make a beeline for the playground to run off some of that energy! We come back inside to enjoy a snack and then begin afternoon activities.

Each day we offer craft activities, games such as Monopoly, checkers, Othello, and Guess Who and quiet individual activities such as Legos, blocks, puzzles, magazines and an occasional video for a rainy day treat. There is a “quiet time” each day set aside for homework or table games for those who don’t have an assignment. Of course, the large gym area is available for indoor fun and games.

Other components of the program include community service projects and coordination with various school based enrichment activities. The program follows the Goffstown school calendar exactly. If school is open, we’ll be there for your child until the 6:00 pm pickup time.

Whenever your child attends our program, he or she will sign in on a 5 session ticket that you have purchased. (We keep the ticket at the program.) You may use us according to your schedule; full time, a few days a week, or occasionally.

Remember, no matter what your expected schedule, you will be charged only for the days that your child actually attends our program, and not for days missed for any reason. If your child is sick or gets invited over a friend’s house, for example, and you do not use our service that day, your child’s ticket will not be marked and you will not be charged for that day.

If you qualify for state assistance to pay for child care, you must call our office to make those arrangements before your child begins to attend the program. You will be responsible for the portion of the weekly cost that the state does not cover.
