Kid Squad Connect Hybrid PM- Before School Care –
Is your child in Hybrid schooling- attending class at the school in the morning- and attending our KS Hybrid-PM program, BUT you still need before school care? No problem!
Our Hybrid PM- Before School Care is for parents that need before school care and are registered for KSC Hybrid PM with the River Trails Park District. You may drop off as early as 7:30am at the Zone and School District #26 will transport the kids from the Zone to school in the morning and back to the Zone for the afternoon Hybrid program with RTPD. If you need aftercare you will need to register for Unplugged After Care separately for an additional fee. Before school care is no charge for any student registered for KSC Hybrid PM.
Please note the following:
These programs do not meet when school is not in session. See Hit the Trails, for school days out programming..
Participants in e-Learning must supply their own laptops, charger, extension cord, and headphones with a microphone. Our Staff are not teachers and are solely there to make sure your child spends their day working on their e-Learning. We do not offer IT support, that will be up to you and your child if any situations arise.
