Enrollment Deadline August 7

If you have not submitted your enrollment form for Third Base, please do so by August 7 to be considered for enrollment by the first day of school. If the site you are requesting has reached its enrollment capacity, your child’s name will be placed on a waiting list. If space is available, you will receive a confirmation email and the school will be notified that they can attend.

Applications received after August 7 will be processed at a later date and a start date will be assigned if space is available at the requested site.

Sites that currently have a waiting list are Central, Elk, Overbrook, Pinch, and Ruthlawn. Several other sites are nearing their enrollment capacity.

Enrollment Confirmations Have Been Sent

We have sent confirmation emails to everyone who has been accepted and enrolled in the Third Base program, starting August 19. The email was sent to the email address listed on the application. If you didn’t receive an email, please contact our office by phone or email. 304-766-0378 or KCSCEP@mail.kana.k12.wv.us.

We’re hiring!

These are part-time, temporary contract positions with no benefits. The hours are Monday through Friday, 1:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. when school is in session. We currently have openings for Site Assistants at Elk, Holz, Overbrook, Pinch, Pt Harmony, and Ruthlawn. A Site Director is need for Bridgeview.

Third Base Enrollment Status Emails Coming Soon!

Third Base enrollment status emails will be going out soon. Those families who were already identified as being on a wait list were notified at the beginning of summer break so that they would have time to find another childcare provider. As sites become full, we will notify those on the wait list upon receipt of the enrollment form.

In the email, your status will either be Enrolled, Wait List or Temporary Wait List. If you are on a Temporary Wait List, it means that we do not have enough staff at the moment and as soon as we are able to hire new staff, we will notify you that your child can start. We must have 1 staff person for every 16 children, so if we do not have enough staff when school starts, we may have to delay your child’s start date.
