Third Base Open for Blended Weeks

Third Base will be operating during the blended school weeks, starting Tuesday, January 19. For the weeks KCS is following the blended schedule, your children will only be able to attend on the two days they attend school. We will prorate the weekly fee for those weeks as follows: $50 for 1 child, $60 for 2 children, $70 for 3 children. Students with IEP’s that call for attending every day may also attend Third Base on those days, but at the regular weekly rate. If you have any questions or if you would like to enroll, call our office at 304-766-0378

Holiday Closure

The Raglin Center and KCSCEP office will be closed from Dec. 24 through January 1. We will reopen on January 4th. If you need immediate assistance, email us at kcscep@mail.kana.k12.wv.us.

Reminder for Third Base Families

“Professional Learning Days”

Kanawha County Schools has scheduled five full “Professional Learning Days” in the 2019-2020 school-year calendar in lieu of the ten 2-hour early dismissals we have had the last several years.  These are days that students will not be in school at all, but school professional and service staff will report for Faculty Senate and professional development opportunities.  Just a reminder to our families that Third Base is always closed when school is not in session for students.  Our child care licenses cover after school hours only (called Out of School Time licenses), not full day child care, and many of our staff work during the day at a second job and/or go to school.  We wanted to make sure all Third Base families were aware of these upcoming dates so they can make other arrangements for child care on those days. For those families who have CONNECT or LINK, you can contact your caseworker and get a certificate for a second provider if you are able to find another center that can provide care on these days.  Thanks to all our families for your continued support of our program!
