CARES After School Program



Students who need extended care after school hours can participate in our CARES program which runs from 3pm to 6:00 each day school is in session. The program is staffed by our teachers in our facility so students do not need to be transported to another facility. Students also have the  opton of participating in one of the many After the Bell special programs. Children in the CARES program must be picked up by 6:00 or there is an additional fee.

Daily Schedule:
  • 3:00-4:00PM Supervised homework/study period
  • 4:00-4:30PM Snack (Children may change clothes at this time)
  • 4:30-6:00PM Indoor or outdoor supervised recreation activities.

Students can participate on a daily or monthly basis. Emergency/Drop In slots are also available.

CARES operates on a monthly basis. The cost for the month will be based on the number of school days in each month and the number of days you are interested in having your child attend. After you send in your form, the bookkeeper will calculate your fee for the month. Your account must be paid by the 15th of each month. If you are not paid by that date, your child may not be able to be enrolled for the following month. There will be no refunds for days absent (either for illness or vacations) if you have contracted for them. When the school is closed for a SNOW DAY, your account will be credited on the following month’s bill. Please do not deduct these days yourself. The program will be available on early dismissal snow days and no credit will be given for those days. Students will be accepted on a part-time basis only if your schedule is consistent.
