The School Year CARE program is open to all North Clackamas School District students in grades K-5.  The Summer CARE program is open to all current North Clackamas School District students that are registered to attend grades 1-6 in the fall of the following school year.  Incoming kindergarten youth are not eligible to attend summer programs.  

*For families who are moving into the district, you do not have to be fully registered for school at the time of registration for the CARE Program, but you will need to provide paperwork once you are enrolled in an NCSD elementary school.

All CARE programs offer monthly after school activities (2:00 pm-6:00 pm) during the school year. By enrolling you are indicating you will be attending the CARE program every day after school Sept 3rd - June 11th.  Before school programs are offered at three CARE sites starting at 6 AM. Transportation is provided from Scouter’s Mt, Oak Grove, and Oregon Trail CARE to your child’s school. All-day programs are available at three locations only (Happy Valley, Sunnyside & Oak Grove) on non-school days (8:30 am-4:30 pm).  Non-school days will be available to select in EZChildTrack. Dates and activities can be found on the NCSD CARE website under the CARE Program Calendar - key events.

*Flex schedules are available to families who need less than full-time CARE and have a consistent schedule (i.e. Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays only).  The monthly fee is the same, but families would not have to report absences on the non-scheduled days.

All fees are due on the 1st of the month. Failure to pay by the 10th of the month will result in a past due fee and your CARE services will be suspended on the 15th.  We accept Checks and Money Orders at all sites. Visa and MasterCard payments can be made online in your EZChildTrack account. Cash payments are only accepted at the Community Services Office which is located at the Wichita Center for Family & Community.

**The CARE Program works with families who are ERDC eligible or are active members of the military and qualify for assistance from Child Care Aware of America.  Please have your caseworker contact Kim Wall at wallk@nclack.k12.or.us or send your eligibility paperwork to care@nclack.k12.or.us to set up payments.

Return Check Fee: A $25.00 fee for any returned checks.

Past Due Fee: A $15 fee will be added to accounts past due on the 10th.  

Late Fee: After school programs close at 6:00 pm, NSD programs close at 4:30 pm. A late fee of $1.00 per minute will be charged to each child left after closing. 

No Show Fee (school year only): For your child’s safety, you must contact your CARE site before 2 PM if your child will not be attending as scheduled.  A $5 fee will be charged to your account if your child does not show up to the CARE site as scheduled.

***Contact options: You can call your CARE Site or email your Site Coordinator.  CARE Staff Contacts

All CARE fees are non-refundable.  The CARE Program will not be refunding families for inclement weather or school closures.  Families must pay for months and days registered regardless of attendance.

Families can cancel months and non-school days by giving an official cancellation notice via EZChildTrack by 8:00 am on the 19th prior to the first day of services. Example: For October services, after-school Oct 1- 31 and non-school days (8 & 13) families must go into EZChildTrack and use the email function to submit their cancellation request by 8:00 am, Wednesday, September 19th. If the request is not received by 8:00 am on the 19th prior to services, families will be billed on the following day and must pay all fees associated regardless of whether or not your child attends.

All children must be signed in and out electronically.  Signing your child in and out is an important safety issue.  Each contact is given their own personal QRCode to use in the EZChildTrack lobby.

The CARE program expects all participants to follow the North Clackamas School District code of conduct while participating in any CARE program activities or while on school grounds. The CARE staff will provide daily guidance, clear expectations for children, and preventative measures intended to build a positive community within the CARE program. When children in the CARE program do not follow these guidelines there will be disciplinary processes and responses to these actions that are age and developmentally appropriate. Disciplinary practice at CARE should be logical, fair, consistent, and considerate of circumstances. Disciplinary interventions may include CARE staff-led interventions such as; reminders/redirection,  written/verbal reflection or apologies, conflict resolution,  parent contact, or loss of a privilege, For more serious behavior concerns that impact the safety of the CARE community, the CARE administrator may consider short-term or extended suspension of CARE services.
