So Much More Than After School
At Travis Elementary, Kidventure strives to create an environment that provides all students, from Kindergarten to 5th grade, an amazing place to finish their day. Kidventure emphasizes the importance of academics, sportsmanship, respect for oneself, respect for others and respect for our community through fun, active, and engaging curriculum. Allowing students the ability to rotate throughout the day in smaller groups makes the Kidventure experience more personal and rewarding for the kids. You can find us studying, conducting science experiments, channeling our inner Picasso, playing games on the playground or even climbing on dinosaur bones!

Pick Up Procedures
You may pick up your child at any time during After School’s normal operating hours.
Where will my child be?
Child’s Age and School | Pick Up Location |
---|---|
Travis EC – 5th Grade | Cafeteria |
What if I’m running late?
A $1 per minute late fee will be charged after 6:00 p.m., cash, check or Venmo, payable directly to the Kidventure staff members that have remained with your child. Kidventure staff will never leave a child unattended. Habitual lateness may result in an increase in the $1.00/min/child late fee payment or expulsion from the Kidventure After School Program.
Who can pick up my child?
Parents and legal guardians are authorized to pick up their child. Persons listed on your child’s registration form as additionally authorized will also be able to pick up your child. Please be prepared to show ID to Kidventure After School staff to ensure the safe release of your child.
If it is necessary for someone not listed on your registration form to pick up your child, please alert the Kidventure office in advance so they can be added to your list of authorized pick up persons. Kidventure After School staff will need to know the name of the person who will be picking up your child, and will need to see their ID at pick up.
Parent Visitation
Please refer to the Covid Handbook for our updated policy regarding site visitation.
Snack
Kidventure After School provides a snack and drink to every child every day. Snacks are purchased through Labatt Food Services and are peanut and peanut byproduct free.
Discipline and Conduct
We understand that children are tired after a long day of school, but the same courtesy and respect practiced throughout the day should remain consistent in the After School Program. Kidventure’s disciplinary action is a three strike system, which is age appropriate.
Strike 1: Warning, Explanation of Possible Consequence.
Strike 2: Consequence.- Time out of 1 minute per age, sentences, sit out of activity, etc.
- Explanation of parent call if rule broken again.
Strike 3: Call Home.
We work closely with the school and principal when handling discipline and conduct issues, in order to coordinate and universally enforce the same standards and expectations of all students.
Medication
If your child will be taking medications of any kind* during Kidventure, you must complete and submit an After School Medical Dosage Form. The form must be submitted to the Director on-site with the medication in its original container before medication can be dispensed. This includes over-the-counter medicines to be taken as needed, such as Tylenol or Benadryl.
All medications will be dispensed only by the Site Director per doctor instructions and your instructions.
*Kidventure does not administer shots. If your child needs medication or insulin injections during Kidventure After School, you or another authorized party must come to the school to administer them when needed. We will aid in checking blood levels with retractable needles.
Emergency Procedures
In the event of severe weather or any other potentially threatening situation, Kidventure will make every effort to notify you immediately regarding your child(ren)’s safety. Please ensure all contact information you provide us with is correct and up-to-date. If cancellation of Kidventure After School due to these circumstances becomes necessary, we will announce any cancellations in conjunction with the school via email.
