BASC (Before and After School Care)

 

The BASC program at Francophone Charter School is an extension of the regular school day. The program offers enrichment activities like cooking, mindfulness, writing, soccer, chess, judo, and much more. Every day, students are given the opportunity to make connections with their classmates through creative learning. The program currently serves 200 families. Families pay a monthly fee and students who qualify for free and reduced lunch attend for free.

The BASC application for school year 2025 – 2026 is open and the deadline is May 30th, 2025. The application fee is $25. More information is on the link below. The program fills up quickly, so register as soon as possible. For questions, please reach out to Ms. Erika or Ms. Blanca.

BASC students must abide by all school principles and guidelines while in BASC. The program serves the childcare needs of parents and students while fostering the same Francophone community atmosphere.

To ensure safety, attendance/whereabouts of all students at all times, accountability, proper billing, and for emergency purposes, all students who want to be part of BASC must be enrolled into our BASC program. Children may only be signed out by the parent or an authorized adult whom the parent has designated in writing through KangarooTime and the front office.

 

Program

Snack

All students receive a snack at the start of program. BASC provides nut-free snacks and a fruit or vegetable for each student. Students are welcome to bring their own snacks to eat during BASC. In keeping with school guidelines, students may not share snacks brought from home. We ask that you provide healthy, no-nut, low-sugar snacks.

Activities

BASC students can choose from a variety of activities each day such as study hall, game room, reading, art projects, and organized indoor and outdoor games. Optional enrichment classes–run by outside vendors–are also available throughout the year for an additional fee.  Activities begin after snack time. Playground activities may be extended depending on the weather and the number of students remaining in BASC.
