| Episcopal
provides extended care for students in grades pre-K –
8 who stay on campus after school and who are not involved
in supervised athletic activities. During the extended care
hours, students will have the opportunity to enjoy after-school
snacks, to engage in social/play time with their peers, and
to complete homework assignments. Extended Care for lower
school students is based in the Greer Center; care for middle
school students is based in the Aldrich Library. All students
are required to check in at Extended Care each day they are
enrolled.
Extended Care is considered to be an extension
of the school day. All students who enroll in Extended Care
will be expected to conduct themselves in the same manner
they would at any time during the school day and afford
the faculty/staff in charge of Extended Care services the
same respect as they would their classroom teachers. Behavior
that does not reflect these standards and/or violates Episcopal’s
Honor Code will not be accepted at any time and will be
handled accordingly.
Registration for the Extended Care Program
is for the school year. All students (even those who stay
only occasionally) who participate in the program must be
registered and must provide a hold-harmless statement with
the Extended Care office. Forms are available in the Business
Office. Payment options for the Extended Care Program are
described below:
Option 1: Pre-Paid/Pre-Registration Program
• $200 per student for the academic year
• $400 maximum fee per family for the academic year
• Form and payment due by August 1, 2007
• Late pick-up fees of $1.00 per minute will be billed
as applicable.
To be eligible for the program rates, the enrollment forms,

OR
Option 2: Pay-As-You-Go Program
• $10 per visit per student
• Maximum billing limit equal to $400 per student
or $600 per family, whichever is less
• Late pick-up fees of $1.00 per minute will be billed
as applicable.

use of the Extended Care program will be billed under option

Late Pickup Policy and Charges
Extended Care ends promptly at 5:30. Our
Extended Care faculty/staff have personal obligations once
their duties conclude. Your prompt arrival will be greatly
appreciated. Pickup after 5:30 will result in a $1.00 per
minute fine and will be billed by the Business Office. Repeated
late pickups will result in parents making other after-school
arrangements.
Jannie Day, Director of Extended Care can be reached at
753-3180, ext. 1173. If you get her voice mail, please
leave a message. Voice mail is checked frequently.
Extended Care Guidelines
Extended Care Program Guidelines
1. All students (even those who only stay occasionally) who
participate in the extended care program must have a hold-harmless
statement on file in the extended care office. Forms are available
on the school’s website and from the Extended Care office.
2. Pre-K-5 must report to the Greer Center immediately after
school to sign in with a counselor. Students in grades 6-8
will report upstairs in Aldrich Library immediately after
school to sign in with a counselor. Failure to do so will
result in disciplinary consequences appropriate for the age
level of the child. Repeated offenses will result in parents
making other after-school arrangements.
3. Lower School students will have access to the playground
and basketball court area only and be supervised by an Extended
Care staff member. Middle School students will have access
to outdoor areas as a group and under the supervision of
an Extended Care staff member.
4. The opportunity to complete assigned homework will be
a part of each day at Extended Care. Lower School students
will work in Pollard Library and Middle School students
in Aldrich Library. Rules for appropriate behavior will
be established at the beginning of school and shared with
families. Below is the schedule lower and middle school
students will be following for the coming year:
Lower School Schedule:
3:25 – 4:00 Check-in, snack time, homework
4:00 – 5:00 Activity Time
5:00 – 5:15 Pick up, clean up, pack up
5:15 – 5:30 Carpool and late bus
Middle School Schedule:
3:25 – 4:00 Check-in, snack and social time
4:00 – 5:00 Homework
5:00 – 5:15 Pick up, clean up, pack up
5:15 – 5:30 Carpool and late bus
5. Lower School students will have snack provided this
year. The concession stand will not be an option for Lower
School children. We encourage you to send a snack with your
child if you so choose. They will also need to bring a water
bottle or be prepared to use the water fountain. Middle
School students will have access to the concession stand
near the gym. They will go together, as a group, following
sign-in and not before. A loss of privilege may result should
students go to the concession stand prior to signing in
at Aldrich Library. Visits to any other concession stand
on campus will not be allowed.
6. In order to care for all our students, access to all
buildings across campus will require the presence of an
Extended Care staff member. Students may use the Extended
Care telephone if they need to make a call.
7. All Extended Care pickups should be made at the carpool
circle only. A counselor will be on duty at the carpool
circle to locate children and have them sent there. Parents
or approved designees will be required to sign for their
children each day.
8. Students who are participating in after-school activities
(sports, club meetings, tutoring, etc.) must report to the
lower school playground to sign in if they are not immediately
picked up when their activity ends. If, for any reason,
you feel this applies to your child, we recommend you consider
which of the two payment options will work best for you.
Students not enrolled will be charged on a daily basis until
the maximum fee amount is reached.
9. There will be occasions for our students to be indoors
based on weather conditions or other factors. PK-5 will
be found in the Greer Center and 6-8 in Aldrich Library.
10. The late bus leaves campus promptly at 5:30. Lower school
students will be escorted to the bus circle at 5:15 and
will be supervised by a counselor until they board the bus.
Middle school students will be dismissed from the center
of the middle quad area and observed from that vantage point
to insure safe arrival of all students.
11. In order to have a smooth transition from the school
day to Extended Care, it is important that the children
understand their end-of-day plans. If a change from their
regular routine is required, please contact Casie Burley
(Lower School Administrative Assistant at 753-3180 x 1137)
or Dana Heuvel (Middle School Administrative Assistant at
753-3180 x1122) before 3:00 pm. They will forward the information
to your child’s teacher and the Extended Care faculty/staff.
For changes after 3:30, please call Jannie Day in the Extended
Care office at 753-3180 x1173.
12. We will attempt to offer extended care on early dismissal
days and on some school holidays. Students must be registered
for these days, and we must have a minimum of 12 students
of over services. There is a fee for this service. Please
check the school website for fee information and times.
