RALLY is a state-licensed, school-age care program. During the school year, our program operates at each of the six elementary schools in the Juneau School District. RALLY offers developmentally appropriate activities for elementary-age children. Children experience physical, social, emotional and cognitive developmental stages as they mature. Staff are trained to recognize these different stages and to vary materials and activities appropriately.

Staffing and Volunteers
Our trained staff maintain a caring and challenging environment that allows freedom of choice and meets the health, safety and nutritional needs of the children. Each program is staffed to maintain a minimum of at least 1 adult for every 18 students, with a maximum of 90 total students. RALLY arranges guest instructors, both paid and volunteer, to share their special skills with students. All those working with children meet the Health and Social Services Child Care Program Office requirements for caregivers.

Eligible Children
Any child enrolled in a Juneau School District Elementary K-5 classroom, and between ages of 5 and 12 years, may participate in RALLY, provided the program can meet the needs of the child. If a child is not attending a Juneau School District elementary school, a copy of his/her birth certificate and immunization records, regular registration information and a letter from the parent specifying guardian designation, if applicable, must be on file with the RALLY office before the child can attend. If your child has allergies, please provide a medical note verifying what sort of allergy and typically occurring reactions.

Children With Special Needs
Although RALLY operates at each of our school sites, the program is not required to comply with IDEA. Alaska State Licensing Regulation and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements apply to the RALLY program. Students with special needs have the opportunity to attend RALLY if it is determined that the environment is a safe place for the child. If your child has a disability, notify the Site Manager so they can arrange a meeting with you and your child’s teacher, the special education teacher and the RALLY Supervisor to determine necessary program accommodations.
