Extended Day

The Extended Day Program at St. Thomas More Cathedral School provides high quality child care administered by a caring staff.  Open to students in Kindergarten - 8th grade, families can usee this program before and after school, on an as-needed basis.  Pre-K families have a different extended day program, with its own registration process completed during enrollment; therefore, it is not necessary to complete this registration process for Pre-K students.

To adhere to licensing guidelines, students must have a complete PRE-REGISTRATION FORM for morning and/or afternoon Extended Day before the first day of school.  There is no cost associated with completing this form and you will be charged your enrollment fee upon the first use of Extended Day.  You can also  choose to ENROLL your student today and pay the enrollment fee upfront.

Pick-Up & Late Pick-Up Policies

Orderly and prompt pick-up from Extended Day is a condition of participation in the program.  In the event of an emergency or if there is a change to the student’s normal pick-up arrangement (i.e., the student is to go home with another family), please notify the Extended Day Director and school office by filling out the Dismissal Change Request Form and submit it prior to 2:30pm that day.

Any students not picked up from Pre-K Extended Day by the 6pm close time will be sent to the K-8th Extended Day and assessed a $5/minute late pickup fee.  A late fee of $5/minute will be assessed for K-8th grade students for pick-ups made after 6:15pm.   If a family is late in excess of three times, a conference with the Principal will be required.  Further tardiness may result in denial of services.
