SF Staff Development Delay Day -
January 23
January 23 will be a staff development delay
morning. If your child is enrolled in the before school program on
Mondays, we will be extending the morning program on these days to
accommodate the morning delay. Therefore, the before school
program will run from 7:00 AM until the beginning of the school day at
11:00 AM. These delay mornings will carry can extra $7 charge for
the additional hours.
We regret that if your child is not normally enrolled on
Monday mornings, we will not be able to add these staff delay days to
your child's schedule as an "extra morning" due to staffing
constraints. If you wish to add Monday mornings to your child's
schedule on a permanent basis, please call the office at 412
221-1980.
