Extended Care Notes:

THE ST. JOSEPH EXTENSION PROGRAM is provided to St. Joseph students before and after school. We are pleased to present a well-organized yet flexible learning environment. Parents will have the security of knowing that their children are in a safe and supervised program.


Extended Care is available on either a drop-in or regular basis.


Morning Extended Care opens at 7:00 am each morning and the students are released to the yard at 7:40 am. Any student who arrives at school prior to 7:35 will be placed in Extended Care and billed accordingly. Morning fees will be included in the regular monthly billing.


Please note that afternoon Enrichment Programs (such as Science Adventures) are an extension of our program and therefore fall under the supervisory job of the Extended Care Director. Enrichment Programs will therefore require additional fees for those participating students. Students will not be charged for Extended Care during the Enrichment Program. Students who are not picked up will be placed in Extended Care and billed accordingly.


Any child who is not picked up from school by 2:50 p.m. (or 12:10 p.m. on minimum days) will be placed in the Extension Program and automatically billed for a minimum of one hour. It will be necessary to sign the student out of extended care after being signed in by the Extension Program staff.


All school rules are enforced during Extended Care, with the exception of the uniform. Children may change into appropriate “free dress” after checking into Extended Care.

* Extended Care closes at 6 pm, unless otherwise specified (see calendar).  PLEASE be sure that you have a back-up plan for picking up your child from Extended Care!    If you will be unable to pick up your child by closing time, it is your responsibility to call a friend, neighbor, or family member to come to the school to get your child before closing.  We do understand that emergencies arise, traffic may be bad, etc.  Having a back-up plan in place will make things easier for everyone involved!
