Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for Sayéik: Gastineau RALLY Families

1.  Why is the Sayéik: Gastineau RALLY program closing?

Due to a recent staff resignation in the Gastineau RALLY program, there is no longer enough staff to supervise students and meet Alaska Department of Health’s childcare licensing requirements.

 

2.  When will the RALLY program at Sayéik: Gastineau close?

The last day of operation for the Sayéik: Gastineau RALLY program will be Friday, April 25, 2025.

 

3.  Will there be afterschool care options for my child after April 25?

Yes, as previously communicated to families, for the remainder of the school year (April 28 - May 23, 2025), we are offering the following afterschool care options:

  • Afterschool care at Sayéik: Gastineau until 4:30 pm with Sayéik: Gastineau classified employees.
  • Transportation to Harborview RALLY: Students will be transported by school bus to Harborview RALLY, where they will join the program until 6:00 pm.

 

4.  How do I choose which afterschool care option is best for my child?

Current Sayéik:Gastineau RALLY families have already been contacted to complete a Google Form to indicate their preferred option for afterschool care.

 

5.  How will transportation to Harborview RALLY work?

Up to 12 spaces are available at Harborview RALLY. After school, students will take a bus to Harborview, where they will participate in the RALLY program. Attendance will be taken again upon arrival at Harborview, and students will join activities until the end of the day. Students will be picked up at Harborview when the program ends.

 

6.  Is there anything I need to do to ensure my child’s participation?

Yes. It is extremely important that we maintain clear communication between home, school, and RALLY. This includes notifying us of changes in attendance, pick-up procedures, authorized pick-up individuals, and any absences.

 

7.  Will I be notified of any further updates or changes?

Yes, we will keep you informed throughout this process to help ensure a smooth transition for your family.

 

8.  Who can I contact if I have any questions or concerns?
