Commonpoint Queens After School Program at PS 169Q

I was fortunate and thankful for the spot that my son was able to have in this after school program. By offering paid spots more parents can have the benefit of having their children in school while working. Please consider this petition.

Please allow the option for parents to pay for afterschool if their child is not picked for the lottery! Thank you!

Please keep the pay option open for after school

What are we supposed to do if we work full time and don't win the lottery? This is so stressful for families who rely on the school day schedule. Please bring back the paid spots.

We want more seats for after school

The aftercare program is fantastic. We rely on it as working parents and are more then willing to pay for the service. The lottery causes a great deal of stress. Please, please, please consider going back to the option to pay for parents whose children are not awarded a free lottery spot. Thank you.

It is unacceptable to not provide a paid option for after-care

Firstly, the program is wonderful and important to the community. Please offer a paid option as you have in the past. The annual lottery is putting a large annual stress on parents. A paid option is a reasonable request for continuity of support while considering the budget of the programming.

Please we need this as an option for all working parents. Sign everyone!

Have PAY option for afterschool. We are full time working parents and need the afterschool care for our kids.

Commonpoint runs a great program and it's important for all of our families to have access to it.
