- A PLACE WHERE WE BELONG -
Extra-Curricular Activities (ECAs) Our After School Activity (ASA) programme is now called our Extra-Curricular Activity (ECA) programme. There is a scheduled ECA period after school for children in Kindergarten and older, beginning at 3:00 pm each day. Activities may run for one or two hours, depending on the activity and the age of the student. The School also offers a Saturday programme as part of our ECA offerings. In addition, some ECAs are offered during the school day. For example, both Primary and Secondary Student Council meet during their lunch times. Parents are welcomed and encouraged to join in activities that support the educational and extra-curricular goals of PSI and to share ideas that have been successful in previous schools that their children have attended. Any parent who has special skills to offer and would be willing to organise an after school activity is encouraged to contact one of the ECA Coordinators. All instruction must be in English. When outside instructors are brought in, fees for ECA are billed directly to parents. Other ECAs are free of charge. There is no charge for activities led by PSI teachers. Students who are absent from school for any reason may not attend their ECAs on that day. Students who consistently skip an activity for which they have signed up may be dropped to make a place for another child who has been waitlisted. All up to date information on ECAs can be found on the PSI website and the ECA site: https://sites.google.com/a/psi.kiev.ua/psi-after-school-activities/. ECA Cancellations If any activities are cancelled on a daily basis due to poor weather conditions, a city-wide emergency or other school events, parents are informed by email and our emergency SMS system. There are specific times when we do not run our ECA programmes due to public holidays, etc. These are planned ahead and are part of the published dates for each season. ECAs are cancelled at the following times: ! When there is a major event in the gym requiring additional setup or cleaning ! When Primary or Secondary is cancelled, both divisions cancel to accommodate buses and pickup arrangements ! When there is an official public holiday on any weekday, as shown on the PSI calendar ! On a Friday when we break for official school holidays in October, December, February and April Please note: ! ECAs are not cancelled on the Friday before a long holiday weekend (i.e., a Monday public holiday). ! When ECAs are cancelled, special arrangements (including use of the school bus) are made for citywide sports events to continue. These are communicated separately to the families involved.
