After school childcare starts with study hall
After school childcare starts at dismissal and extends to 5:00 p.m. For K-5 students, the first 45 minutes after school consists of a supervised study hall, during which the students can work quietly on their assignments.
A one-hour study hall, from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., is available to students in our Junior High School module. Students are directly supervised by a Junior High School teacher in the Junior High School Annex and are provided assistance with homework, as needed.
Study hall is great for most students, but not all
These study hall options are not designed to serve the needs of all students. Some students need more intensive supervision and coaching to benefit from a study hall. For these students, we provide Homework Club and, for those students who require tutoring in order to understand the subject matter more clearly, we offer Academic Tutoring. Information on both of these options can be obtained by clicking on the “Homework Help • Tutoring” page found in the left-hand column.
Childcare in the Activity Center from 4:00 to 5:00

Horseplay is never permitted in the Activities Center.
Overtime Billing-We will bill families for children who are picked up after 5:00 P.M. at a rate of $1.00 per minute past the pick up time of 5:00 P.M.
