Spotlight Procedures

 

After School: TK and Kinder students will be escorted by staff before the bell rings from their classrooms to the Spotlight meeting area. 1st Graders will walk to the meeting area before the bell rings. TK-1st grade teachers will have a list of students enrolled in classes. 2nd through 5th grade students will be responsible to walk to the cafeteria on their own after the bell.  

​

**OCD aftercare students should head directly to their aftercare to check in first.

**CCARP/YSE/Iverbe students should head to the Spotlight patio.

 

Snacks: Please pack an extra snack on Spotlight days. Students are typically hungry after school and the short break before Spotlight classes begin is the perfect time to enjoy their snacks. On popsicle sale days, we will have separate popsicles to sell inside the cafeteria.

 

After Spotlight Classes: All students will return to the pick up area after their classes to be picked up or escorted to their aftercare. A parent or guardian must sign them out on the sign-out sheet before leaving. ALL students going to aftercare must go to their designated area and wait to be escorted by staff. (CCARP will send a staff member to walk their kids to Lindberg Park.)  PLEASE BE ON TIME FOR PICKUP. If a parent repeatedly arrives late for pickup, penalties will apply. ***If you’d like to to allow your older grade student to walk home, please email Ai AND set their profile status to Self Sign-Out.

 

Class Cancellation/Substitution: Instructors are responsible for arranging a substitute if they cannot teach. If one cannot be provided, Spotlight will make every effort to provide a qualified substitute to maintain the planned class content or provide age-appropriate, enriching programming to avoid disruption for students and families. In case of a last-minute emergency and class cancellation, parents will be notified by email as soon as possible. Aftercare students will be sent to aftercare; others should be picked up at regular dismissal. If a student is not at their usual pickup spot, check the cafeteria patio or ask staff.

 

Absences or Change of Schedule: If a student will be attending the regular school day but NOT their scheduled Spotlight class or if there are any changes to aftercare or regular pick up procedures, please notify Spotlight so the location and safety of the student is always accounted for.

 

Aftercare

 

When registering for classes, please make sure you select the correct aftercare option as there are multiple OCD groups, CCARP and YSE. Spotlight and OCD/CCARP/YSE/Iverbe DO NOT share or exchange student information. It is the parent’s responsibility to make sure Spotlight knows which aftercare group to send your child to. If your child changes aftercare, you must change it in the registration student profile AND immediately notify Spotlight about the change by email.

 

*OCD has a form you must fill out to release your child to Spotlight as well as to inform them which days they will attend. If you do not turn in this form before Spotlight begins, your child will not be released and they will miss their Spotlight class and no refunds will be allowed. OCD can provide the form or you can download it on the Spotlight website. Please turn in to OCD at ocdmorningandaftercare@ccusd.org, NOT Spotlight.
