After School (Beginning September 6, 2022)

Miner's afterschool programming includes tutoring and academic support, as well as social activities. The after school program hours are 3:30-6:00pm. DCPS will also provide a supper/snack starting at 4:00 pm.  Pick up from afterschool programming is from the front doors of the building.
​
Afterschool Site Leader:  Ms. Sade Thomas, (202)-826-0043, Sade.Thomas@k12.dc.gov
  • If you have any questions related to your child’s afterschool program, please contact the Afterschool Site Leader at any time and for any reason. This person will be responsible for all things related to the afterschool program Monday-Friday. 
  • DCPS Central Office Contact:  Mark Henderson, Coordinator, Out of School Time Programs, mark.henderson@k12.dc.gov
​​
Afterschool Program Start Date:  PK3-5th Grade start date is September 6th, 2022

Early Childhood Education: If your child is not potty trained, please ensure that you pack extra diapers. Please speak with the afterschool site leader directly if you have issues with obtaining extra diapers or if you have any questions or concerns. 

Dismissal Policy: 
  • Students must be picked up or leave school to walk home by 6:00 p.m. each day. Only individuals listed on the authorized pick-up list will be able to pick up a child. Please contact your afterschool site leader if you wish to update or verify those individuals. The parent/guardian or designated pick-up person must sign out the child(ren) when he/she picks them up. A student may be picked up by another person if and only if the parent/guardian has sent written authorization to the afterschool site leader. 
  • A student may walk home alone earlier than the time stated in the OSTP Afterschool Enrollment Application if and only if the student’s parent/guardian has signed and given a written authorization expressing his/her desire to have his/her student leave at an earlier time. Please contact your Afterschool Site Leader if you have any updates related to your child’s dismissal on any given day of the afterschool program.  

Non-Picked Up Students:  
  • If a student is not picked up by the end of the program, afterschool staff will call every phone number listed in the child’s enrollment application to locate an adult who can pick up the student. If, after multiple attempts, the student’s parent, guardian, or emergency contact(s) cannot be reached, the Afterschool Site Leader will call the Child and Family Service Agency (CFSA) at 202-671-7233. 
  • If the parent, guardian, or other approved adult arrives prior to the CFSA representative, CFSA will be contacted again to report the update.  
  • The student may not return to the Afterschool Program until the Afterschool Site Leader or the Principal has spoken with the parent, guardian, or case worker and has agreed to a plan by which the student will be picked up on time. 

Late Pick-Up Policy:  
  • Although DCPS understands that occasional tardiness may be inevitable, regular extended late pick-ups cannot be allowed. Therefore, afterschool program participation can be terminated for students whose parents/guardians are late picking up their child(ren) on three (3) occasions: 
    1. On the third occurrence, afterschool staff will issue a Late Pick-Up Notice to the parent/guardian indicating that program participation has been terminated for that (those) child(ren). A student will be referred to the Child and Family Service Agency (CFSA) if the student is left in the afterschool program unattended after removal from the program. 
    2. On the first two occurrences, afterschool staff will issue a Late Pick-Up Notice to the parent/guardian, identifying the first and second late pick-up dates.  
    3. Please contact and work with your Afterschool Site Leader if you know you are going to be late to avoid receiving a late pick-up notice. 

​Afterschool Program Newsletters: 
  • All families will receive a monthly newsletter that includes details pertaining to activities, events, outcomes and achievements for your child.
