K - 8 Extension Program

Parents must walk their children into the K-8 Extension classroom and sign-in children at the check-in kiosk.  Grades 5-8 may check-in themselves and their siblings for Morning Extension ONLY.

Parents must sign-out children on the check-in computer.

PYP students may not use the kiosk, including touching the screen, or helping parents check out.

PERSONS OTHER THAN PARENTS PICKING UP CHILDREN MUST EITHER BE AUTHORIZED ON THE EMERGENCY CARD OR PARENTS MUST SEND WRITTEN NOTICE/ EMAIL/TELEPHONE CALL FOR CHILDREN TO BE RELEASED.

It is the parent's responsibility to make sure that the sign-out process is completed.  We cannot monitor the exact time your child is picked up.  At 6 pm, extension staff checks to make sure all students have been signed out.  If your child was not signed out, extension staff uses their best estimate to sign them out for you, which could potentially incur additional charges.  We appreciate your diligence in signing your child out of extension.

Every child attending St. Luke K-8 Extension must have a completed emergency card on file.

Parents may communicate with the Director or Extension staff by written notes, emails, telephone, or in person. Parents cannot expect a staff member’s full attention if children are present but may make a private appointment with the K-8 Extension Director.

To authorize or revoke authorization pick-ups for your child we must receive this by email to the K-8 Extension email, extension@stlukeshoreline.org, with a CC to the Extension Director, Heidi Randolph, hrandolph@stlukeshoreline.org.

Snacks are NOT provided as a part of the program. Your child is welcome to bring breakfast during Morning Extension. Please pack extra snacks for Afternoon Extension. It may be helpful to mark the snack "Extension" or keep it in a special place in your child's backpack. Drinks are not allowed, except for water. 

K-8 Extension volunteer hours will be put on the volunteer log-in sheet through Parent’s Club at double the time volunteered.

Examples: Assist staff with activities, reading small children's stories, heading or teaching students a skill or activity, tutoring children, assisting students with homework, and bringing snacks for Extension children (please never bring nut products of any kind)

The K-8 Extension follows school procedures. If school is closed, Extension is closed. If school is on a 2 hour delay schedule, Morning Extension will be closed, but Afternoon Extension will be open. 

Please note: In the event of inclement weather please have your phone and/or email readily available. If there is early dismissal due to inclement weather, there will be no PM Extension. Children will never be left unattended, but for the safety of our staff and their families, please make every effort to pick up your child(ren) early.

Telephone use is for emergencies only. Arrangements to go home with people other than those on your child’s pick-up list need to be made ahead of time, with an email or phone call to the Extension Director in advance. To contact your child while at K-8 Extension please call the K-8 Extension Program phone at 206-542-9333.

Our program is an extension of the St. Luke School day. As such, it conforms to the policies and procedures of the school as outlined in the Parent/Student Handbook. Our program is designed according to guidelines outlined by the National Catholic Education Association. If a child’s behavior is unacceptable, he or she may be asked to leave the Extension Program for a period of time or indefinitely.
