CREW After School
Tolland Recreation, "The CREW After School"!
What is CREW?
The CREW After School Program is an after school enrichment program that offers students of TIS the opportunity to engage in recreational based activities, a daily dedicated window of time to work on homework amongst their peers and promote overall well-being. Our team works hard to provide an experience that balances fun, connection and personal growth at the end of each school day.
We recognize that students have worked hard throughout the school day so each afternoon includes 20-30 minutes of outdoor recess (weather permitting) to give them the opportunity to unwind, be active and "get the sillies out" in a positive and supervised environment.
On scheduled half days, the program offers a special themed experience, with the theme revealed to students upon arrival to build excitement and engagement. Snacks are provided on these days for all registered participants and are carefully selected to meet all allergy guidelines and restrictions that have been provided by each family.
Here at CREW we strive to create a welcoming, supportive and engaging environment where students can recharge, connect with friends and enjoy meaningful after-school experiences. CREW is more than your average after school program - whether you're looking for reliable end-of-day childcare or a fun, safe and engaging social environment for your child, we're got you covered!

What else should I know about registering my child?
Once registered for the Crew After School program, you have signed up for August 31 - June 14, Monday-Friday care. There are no exceptions, nor can we customize/prorate a schedule for any family.
Fees are set based on the proposed school model of Monday-Friday and traditional school hours, including early release professional development days. Tolland Recreation reserves the right to amend fees as necessary if the Board of Education changes the school day hours and/or model, resulting in a change to the hours of the CREW After School Program.
If there is medical information in regards to the participant that the Program should be made aware of, please edit/update their medical background on your household account.
What do I need to do to withdraw my child from CREW?
If your child will no longer be attending the CREW After School Program, you must notify the Recreation office via email tollandrec@tollandct.gov before the 15th of the month prior to the month you are withdrawing from. If cancellation requests are received after the 15th, participants will be responsible for the next months registration fee.
Example: If you plan to withdraw your child for the month of November, notice must be given by October 15. Requests submitted after October 15 will result in being charged for November.
I've Registered, what do I do next?
At the beginning of the school year, or upon registration (if mid-year) you are required to submit a note to TIS Office Staff that your child will be attending this program and dismissed to Tolland Recreation Staff at the bell.
If your child is absent from school or will not be attending the CREW After School Program, please notify Recreation Staff by calling or texting the CREW cell phone at 860-931-1021.
For the safety of all participants, the CREW program does not depart from TIS until all students are accounted for. Notifying staff of absences prior to the program start helps prevent delays and allow us to efficiently coordinate with families, the bus company, and TIS front office staff so the program can begin on time.
When picking up your child from CREW After School you will be required to show ID. Please have this readily available throughout the year. You may add to your Authorized Pick-Up list at any time by logging into your household account, and notifying the Recreation Staff on the CREW cell phone: 860-931-1021 via text so we have it in writing.
