Before/After School Programs

BEFORE SCHOOL
Students may arrive at school beginning at 7:15 AM for morning supervision. There is no charge for this service. Students are released to their classrooms at 7:40 AM. Early Childhood Education students are escorted by teachers to their classrooms.

AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM
St. Mark Catholic School offers an After School Program that is open to students in all grade-levels.

Philosophy and Goals
The After School Program is an extension of the academic school day and provides a safe, caring environment where respect for Christian values is evident. It involves a well-planned atmosphere without being restrictive, as well as one which is productive without being intense. The program seeks to provide for the students' need for relaxation, recreation, and the opportunity to complete homework or required reading to succeed in their studies. Students are offered a nutritious snack daily.

Admission Policy
Only students enrolled at St. Mark Catholic School are eligible to enroll in the After School Program. Registration for attendance on a regular basis is mandatory (unscheduled “drop-ins” are not permitted).

Days and Hours of Operation
After School Program services will be provided from dismissal until 6:00 PM on the days in which school is in session, including early dismissal days. There are a few early dismissal day exceptions during the school year when the program is available until 3:00 PM (reference school calendar for specific dates).

Registration Fee
A non-refundable annual fee of $50 per family is payable at the time of registration.

Rate
$9 per hour/per child to be billed monthly
