Before and After School Care

After School Care

(Available for ages 3 and up)

After-School Care is provided to create a safe, structured, relaxing, Christ-centered environment for your child. Some activities for the elementary age students include singing, arts and crafts, story time, playtime (both indoor and outdoor), and group and individual games.  Older elementary students are given the opportunity to work on their homework.  Middle School students use this time as a structured study session.

After-School Care is available for students on all regular school days from 2:30pm to 6:30pm.  Students who have not been picked up 10 minutes past dismissal time will be checked in to After School Care and will need to be signed out by a parent or guardian.

No After-School Care is provided for students on early dismissal days.

Middle School students are dismissed at the end of 8th period, and are expected to be picked up by 3:50 PM.

• Middle School students (5th – 8th grade) who remain on campus after 3:50 PM are expected to report to the Elementary School lobby to be checked in to the Aftercare program.
• ALL students should be picked up from PCA After-School Care by 6:30pm unless they are involved in a school-supervised after-school activity. In this case, students should be picked up within 30 minutes after the activity ends.
