EXTENDED CARE

Morning Care Program

The school day at St. Francis Xavier begins at 8:00am and ends at 2:30pm.

Students may be dropped off starting at 6:30am each morning in the gym. Morning Care runs from 6:30-7:30am. The charge for morning care is $6.00 per day per child.

Any student dropped off between 7:30 and 8:00am will not be charged.

Extended Care Program

Whether parents are simply running late on a particular day or have to work late, Extended Care offers parents a safe and reliable care solution.

The Extended Care Program is available to students in Small Wonders/(PS3) & Preschool 4 (PS4) through grade eight. The program is available on school days including half days (unless communicated on the master calendar). Extended Care after school runs from 2:30pm to 5:30pm. The cost is $6.00 per hour per student.

To provide parents a little extra grace with pick-ups, extended care begins charging at 2:45pm.

Extended care also provides students access to our different clubs.

A student study hall (Gr. 6-8) is offered every day from 2:30-3:00pm where students spend time working on daily homework assignments in a relaxing atmosphere; at times working with peers and/or receiving extra help from the teacher on duty. This service is included as a part of our Extended Care Program. Students then transition into the various organized club activities, to the STEM Lab or free choice time available to them for the remainder of their time in Extended Care.

We encourage parents who are able to assist us in enriching students’ exposure to new and fun topics as a part of a club experience to share their various talents and hobbies and propose new (even seasonal) clubs. Please contact the office for more information on current club offerings or to volunteer your time and talent.
