Opt In/Opt Out for Early Release Wednesday Childcare

erw

While we anticipate that most students will be dismissed at 12:25pm on limited early release Wednesdays, we recognize that some families may require childcare. These students will be supervised by instructional staff. No new instruction will take place, as after-school care is strictly supervision.

Elementary school parents and caregivers should log in to the Parent Digital Consent system to review and provide consent to a variety of resources and services including Early Release Wednesday Childcare.

  • OPT IN if you require childcare on our limited early release Wednesdays.
  • OPT OUT if your child will go home (or to childcare arranged with SACC or another provider) at the early release time. 

Families need to make their selection in the Parent Digital Consent system by Monday, August 25, to receive care for all early release Wednesdays. If a family needs to change their selection, they should notify our front office one week in advance.

Providence's Early Release Wednesdays are:

      • September 17
      • October 15
      • November 19
      • December 17
      • February 25
      • March 25
      • April 29
      • May 20
