After-School Recreation
The 2009-2010 School Year

The Wilmette Park District offers the After-School Recreation program for students in grades K-6 whose parents work and are not home after school. Our qualified, caring staff not only provides group attention, but also gives time to children on an individualized basis. Families are offered the option of registering children for three or five days a week. The three-day participants may choose which three days they prefer, based on space availability according to DCFS licensing standards, but the three days must remain constant throughout the year. Children will meet from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays and from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Wilmette Public Schools District 39 days off. There is no program on Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Friday after Thanksgiving, the two weeks of Winter Break, the week of Spring Break or Memorial Day. Winter Break Camp and Spring Break Camp require separate sign-ups.

The Park District provides bus service for students from Wilmette public and parochial schools. District 39 buses children attending Romona School. Please contact their Transportation Department to arrange for bus service. Parents of Romona students eligible for reduced tuition must provide verification of paid bus service from Romona School to the CRC.

A non-refundable deposit of $200 is required at registration. Fees are paid in nine equal payments, due on the 5^th of each month, with the first payment due by August 5, 2009. Contact Anna Nguyen at 847/251-6599 or Wendy Caspersen at 847/256-9119 for more information regarding the program. After School Recreation follows the District #39 School Calendar.
