Kindergarten Enrichment (KE)-
We are currently at capacity in our KE Program. if you wish to add this to your child's day - contact Heather.mckinney@dcsdk12.org to be added to the waitlist. If you no longer need KE please contact Heather so you can be removed, and another family allowed to attend.
KE has an 8 day per month minimum attendance requirement.
Contact Heather.McKinney@dcsdk12.org if you have any KE questions.
KE students are escorted by BASE staff to and from classrooms.
After School-
After School begins at 3:30 in the cafeteria.
1st grade through 6th grade check in on their own, in the cafeteria with GRE BASE staff.
Kindergarten students are picked up from their classrooms by GRE BASE staff.
If your child is scheduled to attend and does not show up- we begin the lost child protocol- beginning with a school wide intercom announcement, premises search, and parent phone calls- then emergency contacts if parents cannot be contacted. If we cannot make contact with parents- we call the police to report a missing child. Police then take over to begin searching and contacting parents and contacts. CONTACT BASE staff if your scheduled child will not be in After School. It is very important. Contact Sherry with any questions about this.
The best way to notify us of an absence is to call the program and leave a message.
GRE BASE main phone line- 303-387-7722
After School closes promptly at 6pm. Parents are charged for late pick ups and 4 late pick ups result in a year long removal from the GRE BASE Program.
You can find more information in our Parent Handbook and our GRE BASE Welcome flyer.
