When Does RAP Meet?
RAP meets every day of school at dismissal time - includes modified or early dismissal school days. There is NO RAP Care on school holidays or non-school Days. Once RAP staff leaves school grounds for their park site, they cannot return to school for late kids (i.e., field trips, enrichment, etc.). RAP fees do NOT cover cost or enrollment for any non-school program or vacation camps. (Non-Student Day Programs or Vacation Camp enrollments require separate forms and fees.) RAP ends no later than 5:30 p.m. daily.

Absences / Non-School Days
Please notify ARPD by 12 noon at (510) 747-7529 if your child will not attend RAP for any reason. Failure to notify RAP of an absence on a scheduled RAP day will result in Alameda Police Department conducting a search for your child which will result in a $15 service fee. Fee must be paid within 24 hours of the incident. No refunds, credits or make-ups are allowed for missed days. 

Late Pick Ups
All participants must be picked up by 5:30 p.m. Starting at 5:31 p.m., a late fee of $1 per minute will be charged for late pick-ups payable that day. If you are more than 1/2 an hour late, we will contact the Alameda Police Department to pick up your child and take them to the Police Station. If late pick ups are a consistent problem, we will take further appropriate action.

Early Dismissal
We will pick up RAP participants on modified or early days at their school's dismissal time. The Alameda Unified School District provides us with the early and modified day schedule before the year begins and we will plan accordingly.

RAP Activities Include
Daily snacks; daily choices of indoor and outdoor games, arts & crafts, cooking, sports and more; outdoor activities (weather permitting) in a supervised, safe environment.

SPECIAL NOTES FOR 2 OR 3 DAY PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS:

• EXTRA DAYS:  You CANNOT swap any unused regular day(s) for any extra day(s).  You may add a one-time additional pick-up day (outside of your regular days); there is a $15 per day charge which must be paid in full 48 business hours in advance of the date needed.
• DAY CHANGES:  On the registration form, you must specify the days of the week we will pick up your child.  These days will remain the same for the full session unless you pay the $15 administrative fee to change them.
