We want to afford every student the opportunity to attend our after-school classes and participate in sports activities, which may mean that they are unable to catch the bus home that day or otherwise need some supervision between 3:00 and 6:00 for that reason.  We've developed a special "one day" wrap-around care option which enables students not otherwise registered in our after-school program to attend it on the afternoons s/he has a class to attend or some time to fill before or after participating in a sports activity, or are awaiting their sibs to be done with theirs.  These students will be able to hang out with Mr. Jake and Crew during this gap time and receive the proper supervision they need, rather than being at loose ends!

Cost:  $8.25

Times:  A maximum of 1-1/2 hours anytime between dismissal and 6:00 p.m. (typically pick-up by 4:30)
