ECHO is a period based program that invites outside vendors to share their expertise with our students.  ECHO is aftercare times 3!

All Specialty teachers have the appropriate license and insurance to operate in the our facilities.  The majority of the companies associated with ECHO have been in operation for more than 10 years.  If more information is needed, please email us at Echo@Woodstreamacademy.com or peruse their websites on our Vendors page. 

If inclement weather is in the forecast, a phone message, an email, and a text message will be sent to all families.  If ECHO is canceled, we will diligently determine make up dates for all classes missed.  

All classes require an upfront payment, therefore, if you miss a class it is nonrefundable. 

If you child attends the first day of a specialty and is no longer interested, you are entitled a full refund or you may reroute your fee towards your students voucher account or tuition.  

You may send all complaints to Echo@woodstreamchurch.com and it will be forwarded to the appropriate person.

If a student:

• fights with another student or provokes a fight between students
• uses inappropriate language, behavior, or gestures
• is disrespectful to ECHO staff or ECHO leadership
• is bullying or harrassing another student verbally, through email, by phone or text message
• damages school/church property
• leaves class or school grounds without permission
• sets off  a fire alarm, discharges, or destroys a fire extinguisher 
• possesses, distributes, or attempts to use illegal drugs or shares prescription drugs with another student
• participates in reckless play or behavior

they will be suspended from the ECHO program immediately and may only reinstated after a parent/Coordinator conference.  There are some actions that warrant an immediate dismissal without the possibility of returning.  The Coordinator maintains the final say in a students return to ECHO after being displaced.  The decision of the Coordinator can be discussed with the Head of School or School President, however, if a student is ejected, the saftey of others is most important and in some cases, the suggestion of the Coordinator is heavily considered.   For most instances, grace is applied and an ECHO Note is created and sent home to the parent. 

Students normally stay in their classrooms with their teachers and play with their peers until 3:10 pm.  Their teachers  escort them to the Vineyard Cafe' where they have assigned seating.  They remain in their assigned seats until their ECHO Counselor escorts them to their afternoon classroom (which may be a different classroom than they have during the day).

Students may use the vending machine starting at 3:15 pm daily.  Do not allow your student to bring excessive amounts of money.  Please the amount of a students cash minimal to prevent loss or theft.  

There is a $4.00 per minute charge for students who are not picked up on time.  Parents will be asked to sign a separate sheet after 6:00 pm.  

ECHO fees are $6.00 per hour and start at 3:15 pm.  Specialty fees are class specific.  The specialties range from $20.00 to $160.00.  Specialty fees are in addition to the ECHO fees.

No, all students must attend Woodstream Christian Academy in order to be eligible for ECHO.  

Currently, ECHO only offers the Craft Club.  We are expecting the inception of more club opportunities in the future.
