Extended Care Hours

We are making a slight adjustment to our Extended Care hours this year. Most students have been picked up by 5:30pm in the past anyway, so this will just allow us to better plan for staffing hours. The hours for this year are:

• Before Care: 7:00am – 7:45am
• After Care: 3:30pm – 5:30pm
