For parents & guardians who need a later pick-up time, our AfterCare program offers a safe and nurturing environment for students after school at both campuses.
AfterCare Details
- Start date: August 2nd (first day of school)
- Cost per day: Elementary Campus – $20 for the first student, $15 for each sibling; Middle Campus – $15 per student
- Operating hours: From dismissal until 6pm
We were able to waive AfterCare fees for the first time ever last year, but we are unable to continue to absorb those costs. Financial assistance will be provided for any family who needs it. Flexible scheduling will remain a feature of the program, allowing you to reserve slots based on your family’s needs. We have planned ahead to help ensure adequate staffing to meet demand, and the AfterCare staff has worked to add some enrichment options for interested students.
If you have any questions, please contact Carol Keller or Kelly Dennis or at the Elementary Campus or Santina Cambor at the Middle Campus.
