CARES – Children Are Receiving Extended Care

The Extended Care Program allows children to experience a rich diversity of growth activities within a Catholic School environment. Activities are planned to compliment the philosophy and value system of the school and family. The program strives to construct an enjoyable atmosphere with varying activities including homework time, outdoor/indoor free play, games, and crafts.

Parents may register their children for our C.A.R.E.S. (Children Are Receiving Extended Service) Program throughout the school year. The program runs from the end of the school day (2:45 p.m.) until 5:30 p.m. each day that school is in session. The program does not operate when school is not in session or on early dismissal days. The following 3 registration forms are required. Note: Only students enrolled in Saint Joseph School Kindergarten through 8th grade may participate in the program. Children are accepted into the program on a pre-registration basis. Parents can register their children on a fixed schedule for 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 days per week. Participation on a day-to-day basis or for emergencies is also accepted.

• The registration fee is $30.00 per family.
• A late fee will be charged if a child is picked up after 5:30 p.m.
