The program is offered Monday through Thursday from 3:15 – 5:20 p.m., parents are responsible for picking up students. The cost of the program is $3/day or $2/day for those that qualify for free or reduced lunch. Fees should be paid prior to attending and balances kept in the positive whenever possible. A light snack is served to students that attend. Students are offered structured academic enrichment/assistance, projects, physical activities, and a variety of other positive opportunities. If your son/daughter is interested in attending, please contact the office for more information. Attendance Policies School Begins at 8:25 AM School Ends at 3:15 PM , Wednesdays End at 2:30 p.m. Attendance is a legal responsibility for all students enrolled in Cromwell-Wright Public School. We participate in the Carlton County Truancy Prevention Program. This program monitors student attendance in the Carlton County School Districts. I. Purpose a. The school board believes that regular school attendance is directly related to success in academic work, benefits students socially, provides opportunities for important communications between teachers and students, and establishes regular habits of dependability important to the future of the student. The purpose of this policy is to encourage regular school attendance. It is intended to be positive and not punitive. b. This policy also recognizes that class attendance is a joint responsibility to be shared by the student, parent or guardian, teachers and administrators. This policy will assist students in attending class. II.
