“Short Stop” is offered for the convenience of parents and to assist them with child care after school hours. Students may attend “Short Stop” every day or occasionally and parents will be charged accordingly. “Short Stop” hours are 2:30 pm – 6:00 pm. Students who remain for “Short Stop” will be escorted to a designated room at dismissal where there will be adult-supervised assignment time. During that time, students are expected to work on their assignments (homework), read, practice math facts, etc. Assignment time will last until approximately 4:00 pm. Students should bring a snack from home to eat during “Short Stop.” 24 Policies contained in the St. Paul’s Parent-Student Handbook remain in effect and students who fail to behave will be disciplined accordingly. Students who have not been picked-up from car line by 3:00 pm will be escorted to “Short Stop” where they will remain until an authorized adult comes to pick up the child. Charges will begin to accrue when the child goes to “Short Stop.” Please be sure that all information regarding phone numbers and authorized adults who can pick up is always current. Students are not permitted to bring any toys, games, electronic devices, cards, cell phones, etc., to “Short Stop.” Any items that are taken from the student will be kept by the Principal until the last day of school. Students who are not picked up by 6:00 PM will receive:
 a phone call reminding you to pick up your students on time
 a registered letter reminding you that failure to pick up your child on time constitutes neglect
 students who remain after 6:00 PM will be sent home via the Jacksonville Police Department  repeated failure to pick up your child from Short Stop on time will result in your child not being allowed to attend the program
