The Elementary Latchkey Program continues to be available for students enrolled in grades K-2 at Avalon Elementary and students enrolled in grades 3-5 at Elmwood Elementary. The program will begin on Wednesday, September 4, 2024. Morning sessions begin at 7:00am and run until school begins. Afternoon sessions begin after dismissal and run until no later than 6:00pm. Registration packets can be obtained on the district website, at Avalon and Elmwood Elementaries, or at the South Lake Administration office.

Please note that we will not be providing latchkey-specific transportation from Elmwood to Avalon this school year. Students must attend latchkey in the building in which they attend school.

Elementary Latchkey Registration Events will be held at each school on Tuesday, Sept. 3, 2024.

Elmwood Elementary: 12:00pm-6:00pm in the Cafeteria

Koepsell Early Childhood Center Latchkey Program

Koepsell Early Childhood Center will offer afternoon-only Latchkey for our GSRP students again this year. This program will run from 3:00pm-6:00pm on full school days. Latchkey will not be available on half-days due to Teacher Professional Development. Registration Event information will be released in the week prior to the first day of school for GSRP students. The first day of school for GSRP students is Monday, Sept. 9, 2024.

Latchkey Registration Fees

There is a non-refundable registration fee of $35.00 per child. Parents/Guardians are required to complete the registration packet, including the Child Information Record, for each student every school year – whether the student is new to latchkey or returning. The $35.00 registration fee can be paid on the e-Funds site by choosing Optional Fees and then entering the student’s last name and student ID number. If your student(s) participated in the Summer Latchkey program, your $35.00 fee for the summer carries over in to the new school year; you do not need to pay it again. However, you will need to complete a new Registration Packet, including the Child Information Record.

Please start by downloading the Parent Information Packet. On the first page of this packet is a table of contents that lists all required forms for enrollment in the latchkey program. The Parent Handbook is for your records but you must submit a signed receipt of the handbook to each Latchkey Supervisor at each building you have children enrolled in the program. A separate Child Information Record is also required for each child that you will be enrolling the Latchkey program, even if you have more than one child in the same building. Please note which forms are required for each building.

Please send any questions about this packet to your building Latchkey Supervisor or the Director of Special Services.
