Dear K-6 Families,

Thank you for your patience as we navigate this transition period. We have had a great time getting to know your children over the last two weeks! Please read through this email in its entirety as it outlines the changes that will be made in April. Until then, Skyhawks will operate as TEL. As far as the structure of the program goes, we will not be making any changes. Students will still have the opportunity to eat a snack, work on homework, and participate in various activities and crafts. Additionally, we will promote physical health while carrying out our mission of teaching life skills through sports. Skyhawks aims to teach the basics of sports, while emphasizing life skills such as teamwork, respect, responsibility, and leadership. This will be carried out through daily sports and/or organized games. Additionally, there will be no changes to daily rates. Skyhawks after-school programs will remain $15/day on regular school days, and $25/day on Early Release days.

As you know, Skyhawks will be switching to prepayment. In order for us to successfully implement this, families will now be registering for childcare via the Skyhawks website. Families will have until Sunday, April 9, to register and sign up for afterschool care for the month of April. 

Steps on How to Create an Account and Register:

  1. Visit www.skyhawks.com and create an account using the blue hyperlink at the top right hand corner.
  2. Log into your account, and click Find My Program.
  3. On the left hand side of the screen, there are fields to filter your search. Filter your search as follows to ensure registering for the right program:
    1. From the drop down menu on the left side of the screen, please select Other in the list of sports offered.
    2. Then, select April from the month field.
    3. Lastly, type 55343 in the zip code field and update the page using the blue button at the bottom of the page.
  4. You will then be brought to a page listing all available afterschool care dates for the month of April.
  5. To register for a date(s), you will need to add each program to your cart and check out when finished. Full payment is required upon checkout.

Moving forward, registration for afterschool care will open 2 weeks in advance. For example, May registration will open on April 17. An email reminder will be sent to you as well.

In an effort to maintain our 12:1 ratio and uphold a safe, adequately staffed environment for our students, Skyhawks will no longer accept drop-in students. This includes students who may have missed the bus, activities that may have been canceled, late pick-ups, etc. Students who are in need of childcare, but are not registered to attend Skyhawks that day, will be sent to the main office until they are picked up by a parent/guardian.

Please take a moment to read through the Parent Handbook. If you have any questions, or need clarification, please feel free to contact Skyhawks via the contact information below.
