Welcome to The Quarry Lane School

The Quarry Lane School assists families with

before and after school enrichment. Quarry Lane

offers public day camp during the academic year

for most Pleasanton Public Schools.

In addition to our after school program, The

Quarry Lane School offers infant, toddler and

preschool programs, as well as Junior

Kindergarten and Kindergarten through high

school. Recreational and academic programs are

also available during the summer months for

school-aged children.

Guiding Principles

The Quarry Lane School believes in providing

structure for the child and guiding the learning

process. We are concerned about the individual

emotional needs of each child. The staff strives to

provide love and organization; there is a balance

between relaxed social times and organized group

activities.

At The Quarry Lane School, children have fun

learning and parents can be assured their child

receives quality attention and care.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The Public Day Camp Program was created to

assist families with before and after school

enrichment during the academic year for most Pleasanton Public Schools. The Quarry Lane

School has youth buses and small passenger vans,

that provide transportation for children enrolled in our program.

Attention Kindergarten Parents: Please note

that we can only provide transportation for children enrolled in the “A.M. Kindergarten”

programs.

School Hours The Quarry Lane School hours of operation are Monday through Friday: 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Drop Off and Pick Up Children receiving before school care must be at

QLS by 7:40 a.m. each morning. Children will be

transported according to their public school

schedule (8:00–8:15 a.m.). Children must be at the designated pick-up spot within five minutes of

their public school’s dismissal. Please notify The

Quarry Lane School no later than 2:30 p.m.

(for 1st–5th graders) and/or 11:00 a.m. (for

kindergarteners) if your child does not need to

be picked up from their public school. Written

or faxed notification is required—fax (925) 462-1066. Please remind your child to be at the pick

up point (see below) promptly after school.

Public School Pick Up Locations

Alisal: Front of the school, by flagpole.

Fairlands: Front of the school by Room #12. Mohr: Front of the school by the office.

Vintage Hills: By the office on the covered

benches.

Walnut Grove: Front of the school. Hearst: Front of the kindergarten classrooms.

Valley View: Front of the school by the

flagpole.

Children must be picked up from The Quarry

Lane School by 6:00 p.m. There is a $1.00 per minute late fee, per child, for every minute past

6:00 p.m. All late fees must be paid by check or

money order to the front desk. A child picked up

late more than five (5) times may be dropped from the program.

It is The Quarry Lane School policy and California State Law that every child must be

signed in and out each day. A full signature is

required. Only authorized people will be allowed

to pick up your child. Identification (a valid picture ID) must be presented when a person

comes to pick up your child. Written permission

from parents must be submitted in order for your child to be released to an additional authorized

person.

Faculty and Staff

We provide an after school environment that

balances both play and enrichment. In addition to

our quality faculty, the school size and low ratios make the difference.

Homework Club Children who are in grades one through five are

eligible to attend Homework Club (Monday-

Thursday). Homework Club is designed to help your child get a jump start on their homework. A

quiet setting is provided to keep your child on

track. You may require your child to attend

Homework Club, or allow them to choose. Please note that tutoring services are not available. Space

in our Homework Club is limited. Children in

grades three through five will be given priority enrollment in the club.

Program Activities

Science Projects Arts & Crafts Computer Lab Cooking

Library Dramatic Games

Outdoor/Cooperative Games

Snack and Lunch

The Quarry Lane School provides an afternoon snack with milk or juice each day. Hot lunches are

available through a catering company for children

who are here during the noon lunch hour, at an

additional cost. If your child will be here during the noon lunch hour, but you do not wish to

purchase a hot lunch, please send lunch to school

in a lunch box, or bag that has your child’s name. Please do not include food items that are high in

sugar content. No candy, carbonated soda drinks,

tree-nut, or peanut products are permitted at school. Nuts are prohibited at our school.

Napping and Resting for Kindergarteners

Children attending kindergarten have a required afternoon rest period. The school provides a nap

mat and parents are expected to supply a sheet or

blanket.

License Numbers: #013411303, #013411304, #013411305, #013417681 3/23/2010

Parents and children are required to abide by the policies and rules of the school including the

Parent/Student Handbook. The School retains the

express right to add, omit, amend, or change any

policy or rule at any time. The failure of the parent and/or child to abide by the policies and rules of

the school will constitute grounds for dismissal. If

the conduct of the child or the parents is detrimental to the welfare of the child, or the

school and its administration, the school in its sole

discretion may dismiss the child.

The Public Day Camp staff spends a considerable

amount of time helping children understand the

rules of the school and recognize their responsibility for appropriate behavior. Most

disciplinary action takes the form of reminders,

reprimands, or a quiet talk with the student. Discussion is preferred to automatic punishment.

However, if there has been sufficient warning to

children and parents, the following repeated infractions will result in certain privileges being

taken away: Rudeness, fighting, throwing objects,

inappropriate language, chronic minor behavior

problems, and destroying property.

A student who is disobedient to any Quarry Lane

School staff member will receive an automatic reprimand. Repeated offenses may lead to

suspension and possible expulsion. Privileges

taken away could be removal from special events,

daily activities, etc.

All concerns will be directed to the appropriate

administrator of The Quarry Lane School. While

parents must act as an advocate for their child,

there may be times that parents may not agree

with decisions made by the school administration,

faculty or staff. Efforts by parents to lobby

negatively or destructively with other parents will

be viewed as detrimental to the school and will be

considered grounds for removal.

COMMUNICATION ADHERENCE TO SCHOOL RULES

Please check the parent board located in the room. This is the most effective way for you to be

informed. Any changes in the schedule or

important information will be posted here.
