Important Enrichment Procedures
• Classes are held on your child’s school campus. For student safety, all classes meet on the blacktop, at most schools closest to the After School Program Rooms, for attendance to be taken prior to being escorted to their class location.
Please have your student(s) meet their Enrichment Instructor in the designated area at each school site. Students will line up by class for attendance and then be escorted to their enrichment classroom. ASP students should still check into the ASP before heading to the designated area.
The designated areas are as follows:
- Ashley Falls- at the handball walls near the 600 (two-story) building closest to the Kindergarten playground and ASP rooms
- Carmel Del Mar- at the outdoor amphitheater
- Del Mar Heights- on the lower playground next to the ASP rooms
- Del Mar Hills- NEW THIS YEAR: at the outdoor amphitheater
- Ocean Air- on the blacktop north of the ASP building and above the Kindergarten lunch area.
- Sage Canyon- at the white tables by the Kinder classrooms across from the kinder playground.
- Sycamore Ridge- on the blacktop behind the ASP buildings (where the kindergarten tricycle track is painted on the ground.)
- Torrey Hills- By the ball walls closest to P-8
After the Enrichment classes, After School Program students will be checked back into ASP by the instructors. Then,if being picked up, your child will be brought out to the front of the school by the instructor. If your child will be absent from their Enrichment class, please send an email to enrichment@dmusd.org
Class Dismissal/Late Pick-up Policy:
• Enrichment instructors will escort students to the front of the school for pick up at the end of class. Parents are not permitted to enter campus to pick their child up from enrichment.
• Any parent who is more than 10 minutes late in picking up their child will be charged at the rate of $2.00 per minute, payable at the time of pick-up to the enrichment vendor (if still with instructor at time of pick up) or DMUSD (if taken to the After School Programs child care). The student will not be permitted to return to the Enrichment program until the late fee is paid.
• Any student who has not been picked up within 10 minutes of the class dismissal time will be signed into the After School Programs child care and all applicable fees will be applied.
- IF YOU WOULD LIKE YOUR STUDENT RELEASED AFTER CLASS TO WALK OR BE LEFT UNATTENDED TO WAIT FOR THEIR RIDE, PLEASE SEND AN EMAIL STATING THAT TO ENRICHMENT@DMUSD.ORG.
