If my child is in Arts Alive, and the music class starts at a later time because my child has advanced in the class, does my child have to wait in day care (for a fee) before the next music class starts? What can my child do between the end of school and the Arts Alive session?
The Arts Alive teachers teaching the St Anthony classes are taking the students in the first class as a “favor” to parents if they can work independently and do homework. There are two (or three levels) of classes and just like outside Arts classes – they are at different levels for ability. Some students who live local go home change, eat and come back, others pay for day care and we do this on a case by case basis.
Arts Alive is a class with a full 55 minutes of teaching and 5 minutes to pack up, pick up the next class and the teachers teach back to back. As students progress they are no longer beginners and older students and parents should understand this in advance and be aware of this, before they sign their children up for classes.
Students may go to day care at no charge if they are waiting for an Arts Alive class to begin. Access to the library to read Accelerated Reader (AR) books or to the Learning Lab to use computers for homework may be made available by the day care teacher. Student will always be supervised by a teacher where they can complete homework projects with technical bias is a possibility during this time.
