Extended Day

The Lower School Extended Day program (children in grades Pre-K through 5) provides young learners with opportunities for indoor and outdoor play, arts and crafts activities, and literature. Pre-K and kindergartners use the preprimary multipurpose room and playground, and grades 1-5 use the Lower School multipurpose room as well as the playground and other spaces.

The Extended Day program for children in Pre-K through kindergarten is located in the Pre-Primary Building. It provides a fun environment offering indoor and outdoor play, arts and crafts activities, literature, snack time, and an escort to and from extracurricular activities. Students will bring their own snacks; the school does not provide them.

The program for children in 1st through 5th grade is located in the Lower School building and offers art activities, indoor and outdoor play, independent study time, and snack time. Students will bring their own snacks; the school does not provide them.

The Extended Day program for Middle School runs from 3:30 to 6:00 p.m.* Students are provided a balance of after-school study time and independent or group activities. We offer a supervised homework room, access to our computer lab, and indoor and outdoor play, available at the end of the school day or following after-school athletic activities.

After dismissal, all students must gather personal items and homework materials from lockers and classrooms and place all belongings in the lobby until they leave campus. After 3:30 p.m., students are restricted from going throughout the building without a parent or a staff member. Exceptions are made only for those using the bathrooms/water fountains. By 3:30 p.m., or after sports, students must go to the Middle School lobby to sign in.
