Extended Care
The extended care program is designed to accommodate working parents of students in grades Pre-K – 8 in need of supervised extended care beyond the school day. The program is available Monday through Friday until 5:30 PM unless noted on our school calendar. The children in the program enjoy a safe, nurturing, healthy environment that assures parents that their children are cared for beyond the school day.
To ensure the safety of our students we limit participation in the extended care program. As a safety precaution, all students who are not picked up from school by 2:45 PM will be brought to extended care until a parent arrives.

Extended care is not in session should the school be dismissed early due to weather conditions or holidays. Please consult the school calendar for more information.
Parents should be aware:
-
In regard to homework worked on during extended care, students are “helped” to the extent that instructions are read and explained; however, the child is responsible for the work. In order maintain supervision of all students, teachers cannot check and correct homework assignments. Our Academic Dean will work with any parents who wish to arrange for tutoring services that provides individual instructional care.

Parents/guardians are reminded that teachers on duty during extended care time are not available to discuss academic progress of students. Please schedule a mutually agreed upon meeting to discuss those concerns.
