E.T. with Crystal Lake Park District

Preparing for the school year just got a little bit easier.

The Crystal Lake Park District is offering Extended Time. E.T. is a before and after school program providing, safe, reliable care for children. E.T. gives parents the comfort of knowing where their children are when they cannot be at home. All District 47 students in kindergarten through fifth grade are eligible to attend.  E.T. is held at Glacier Ridge, Canterbury, Coventry, Husmann, Indian Prairie, North, South, West and Woodscreek Elementary Schools, as well as the facility at Spoerl Park (kindergarten only).

E.T. staff provides supervised recreational activities allowing time for group games, arts and crafts, movies, field trips, fun with friends and even homework. This program also allows your children to participate in after school art classes or sport practices you might not have been able to transport them to.

For parents with a changing schedule, a 10-day ET Punch Pass is available. The passes can be used for regular school days, half days or Institute Days. Once registered, you need to contact the office at least a day before your child will attend. The passes are non-refundable and nontransferable. Passes expire at the end of the 2010-2011 school year. Passes are sold on a first come, first served basis. There is a limit of 10 available at each school. Parents will be notified upon completion of their Punch Pass.
