Intersession
During this time of concern with the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been many discussions on how to make School-Age Care Programs a safe, yet fun experience for our participants. Please know that every consideration has been made with the best possible safety practices in place to protect our participants, their families, and our staff.
Intersession

Sliding Fee Scale
A sliding fee scale (SFS) may be used to reduce the amount paid for School-Age Care programs. The scale ranges from 10-100% and is based on income, number of members per household, and special circumstances affecting the applicant’s ability to pay. Applications are available online, at the administration office, or any recreation center. If approved, the reduced fee is valid for one year.
Parents/Guardians who have a current, approved reduced rate assigned will receive the applicable discount at the time of registration. Please note that anyone with a SFS rate that has expired must submit a new application. SFS Applications may take up to 2 weeks to process.

Special Services
DPR encourages the participation of all school-age children in its School-Age Care (SAC) Program. To provide quality services and activities to all its participants, children needing significant assistance with personal care (i.e. toileting), behavior management, support to participate in activities, constant eyes-on supervision, and/or hands-on support, or who have trouble communicating needs/wishes for more than 30% of the time may be required to bring a care provider (at no expense to DPR) to provide 1:1 support. DPR will assess each participant’s abilities and notify the parents/guardians if 1:1 support is required. DPR will reasonably accommodate participants needing such support.
Please Note: 1:1 care providers must pass a background check prior to supporting a participant in the SAC program.
DPR strives to make our programs, services, and facilities accessible for all individuals and families, regardless of race, color, religion, gender, national origin, marital status, sexual orientation, or ability level.
