The Extended School Program (ESP) provides supervised early drop-offs for St. Ambrose students before school hours beginning at 7:00 AM. Additionally, St. Ambrose students in the ESP program are able to stay at school after school hours until 6:00 PM in a safe, supervised and academically enriching environment.

1.  
   • Note:  If you register to use ESP on a Part-Time basis, you must indicate how many days you would like to register for and you will be billed for those days.  No credits will be given for unused days.  For example; if you register 1 child for 2 days a week, you will be billed for 2 days.  He or she can use the program any 2 days of the week, but you will be charged for 2 days. Additional days can be added for an additional fee.

1.  Complete & submit the following forms NO LATER THAN September 19, 2022:
   • ESP Emergency Form
   • ESP Health Inventory Form: Pages one and two of the Health Inventory must be completed by the parent/guardian and signed and dated at the bottom of page two before sending it to the child’s doctor. Pages three and four of the Health Inventory and the Immunization Certificate must be completed, signed, and dated by the doctor. 
   • ESP Maryland Immunization Certification Form
   • ESP Medication Administration Form
   • Note: We are a licensed facility, and as such the State of Maryland requires these forms.  Therefore, Any students without the completed Health Inventory and Immunization forms will not be able to return to ESP  until the completed and signed Health Inventory and Immunization forms are received.  Your cooperation in this matter will be greatly appreciated.

Payment Schedule

Important Reminders:

• Payment Schedule:  Payment is due one payment in advance:  monthly, one month in advance; biweekly, two weeks in advance; weekly, one week in advance.  Please make checks payable to St. Ambrose School ESP.  There will be a $50.00 fee for any returned check from the bank. Payments will only be accepted by money order, cash, or certified checks thereafter.  Withdrawal from the program must be completed in writing and received at least one week prior to your child’s last day in ESP. 

• Pick up Policy: If something occurs during the day and your pick up plans change, please call the school by 3:00 p.m. at 301-773-0223, or email Mrs. Conto and Mrs. Queen or call the ESP classroom after 3:15 pm at 301-341-3284, to advise us of this change in plans.  The person picking your child up will be required to show a picture I.D. before your child will be released to them.  If we do not receive a note, email, or text message from you and the person is not on the child’s emergency card, your child will not be released to this person.

• Late Pick-Up: The Extended School Program closes promptly at 6:00 PM daily.  If you arrive after 6:00 PM, two staff members will stay with your child(ren) until you arrive.  There is a late pick-up fee of $10.00 for arriving anytime between 6:01 and 6:10 PM and a dollar ($1.00) per minute starting at 6:11 PM.  The late fee is per family, not per child.  Late fees are to be paid in cash that night or no later than the next day.  Please put the late fee in a sealed envelope marked with your child(ren)’s name and to the attention of Mrs. Sims so the payment will be applied to your account and a receipt written.

• County delay or closure: St. Ambrose School follows Prince George’s County when the decisions are made to delay or close schools early for inclement weather.  We know this procedure is sometimes inconvenient to our working parents/guardians when the weather is not that severe.  Therefore, the Morning Care will open at 8:30 AM (no matter if there is a 1 or 2-hour delay) for only the students registered in the ESP program.  The After Care Program will close promptly at 3:30 PM (no matter if there is a 1 or 2-hour early closing).  The late fee policy will be in effect as of 3:30 PM and will follow the same procedure as a regular closing day.   At the discretion of the administration, the After Care Program may close early if inclement weather becomes a hazardous situation.
