Program Details
Safekey is a before and/or after school recreational enrichment program designed for children, age 5-11 attending kindergarten through fifth grades at the Safekey elementary school sites. The program follows the Clark County School District (CCSD) calendar and operates only on days that school is in session. Daily and weekly scheduled activities include nutrition and physical fitness, arts and crafts, music and drama, games, special events, homework assistance, and a nutritional afternoon snack. For an additional fee, special program days may be offered at some Safekey sites on CCSD staff development days or during parent/teacher conference days when school is on a half-day schedule. If your child attends a magnet school and you wish your child to attend his/her neighborhood school you must contact the program coordinator for assistance.

The city of Las Vegas Safekey program is proud to partner with the Southern Nevada Health District to include the Coordinated Approach to Child Health (CATCH) Kids Club as a component of its services. The CATCH program is designed to promote behaviors that assist in developing and maintaining good health in school-age children. This component of Safekey helps support the Mayor’s Healthy Lifestyle Initiative, which encourages Las Vegas residents to Get Smart, Get Up and Get Out to improve diet, nutrition and physical fitness. Participant s will be involved, on a daily basis, in a variety of enjoyable physical activities, crafts, or educational topics such as nutrition, personal safety and positive choices, all with an emphasis on promoting healthy lifestyle behaviors. Children will be given many opportunities to participate and practice their skills.

Registration & Payment Information
The city of Las Vegas offers online registration and payment for all Safekey before and/or after school program sites at recreation.lasvegasnevada.gov.  Online registration for the 2012-13 school year begins on August 13, 2012.  For more information on registering your child, call the Safekey Office at 229-3399.

Safekey is a pre-paid program (a.m. or p.m. specific passes) to be used on any day of any week that Safekey is in session for the 2012-2013 school year.

Payment is required before a participant attends Safekey. No child will be permitted to attend Safekey without a prepaid pass. If a participant arrives at a Safekey program without a current pass, an attempt will be made to contact a parent/guardian for immediate payment. Should contact not be possible, the child will be directed to the school office.

Any account balance that is left unpaid for any activity in the city of Las Vegas is flagged as a delinquent account. As a result, your child’s Safekey services will be suspended until all balances are paid in full. Delinquent accounts are handled according to the city of Las Vegas’ billing policy. Should your account remain unpaid, your account will be handed over to a collection agency.

NOTE: Payment may only be accepted from the adults listed on the participation form. We cannot accept payment from any program child. The parent(s) or guardian(s) who registers the child is responsible for the payment of all fees.
