Mission Statement

 

            St. Mary’s School exists to prepare children spiritually, morally, and academically for the future.  Since the Extended Day Program is an extension of the school, this is the goal of the program.  It is for students who can’t be picked up at the time of dismissal and offers supervision, direction, and academic support for these students. 

 

Supervision

            The Extended Day Program is supervised by faculty members who are experienced with school-aged children.  The teachers are available to help with homework and assist students as needs arise.  The staff members working with

this program communicate with the classroom teachers if necessary. 

 

Tuition

            One child:  $6.00 per hour.

            Two or more children:  $8.00 per hour.

            The fees are listed on Renweb, and bills are sent home each month.
