LEAF Update - Core Daily Schedule and More!

Hello LEAF Families! 

Welcome to the LEAF program!!!  We are very excited that you are able to join us in this new adventure!  I wanted to give you a little update prior to starting next week. 

STAFF
Andrew Brown who has been with our Ravenna family for several years will be our “acting” lead for the program until our recently hired Recreation Program Administrator is able to join us the first week of October.  Andrew will be glad to help answer all your questions and welcome your child(ren) to the program!  Andrew will be our Program Assistant for the School Year.

Melissa Ross our multi-talented instructor will be acting as our Program Assistant until full staffing is on by the first week of October.  Melissa will be with our LEAF programs on Wednesdays for “Food For Thought”.

Kit Benshoof who has worked with our Ravenna family in the past will be our Recreation Program Administrator full-time beginning the Week of October 3.  She is moving back home from her family home in Colorado.  We are thrilled to have her back! 

Medical Authorization Form E-13
If you have not completed your medical authorization form for LEAF, I have attached it to this e-mail for you.  It is required that you complete this form for the program so we can keep your child safe and secure during our LEAF activities.  This form also shows us who may pick up your child at the end of program.  Please be sure to complete this and bring to the first day of program in which your child is registered.  You may also fax the form to us at 233-3973, scan and e-mail it trevor.gregg@seattle.gov or leafprograms@gmail.com, or drop it off in person!

AFTERSCHOOL TRANSITION TO LEAF
Kindergarteners will be picked up at their class room by LEAF staff on days they are attending the program. All other grades should have kids go directly to Portable C-3 to check in.  Your child(ren)’s names have been sent to your child’s teacher so they will help make sure your child arrives safely.  If you think your child might need some help getting to Portable C3, let us know!  We’d be glad to pick them up and walk them over to the  portable until they get used the routine.

EXTENDED PLAY
For families needing the extra 30 minutes from 5:30 – 6pm, staff will be on board!  Please remember to sign up for extended play.  You can call us at the Community Center, 684-7534 to register for this option.  We also have emergency extended play cards available for those of you who may need an 30 minutes periodically during the quarter. 

LEAF Blog
Please do visit the blog site at www.leafprograms.blogspot.com to continue receiving updates and announcements! 

Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make the experience more enjoyable for your child(ren)!  We LOVE feedback!  Please e-mail us at leafprograms@gmail.com.  

Take care and have a great Weekend!
