Extended Care
The MCS Extended Care services exist to enrich the curricular and co-curricular programs and to support the needs of working families with students enrolled at MCS. The services are an extension of MCS, and we are committed to providing a safe and healthy environment where students can rest, be involved in constructive recreation, and develop their giftedness and talents. Some frequently asked questions are below.
Extended Care is available for Young 5s - 8th grade students.
7:00 a.m. Everyday we are in school we will offer before-care. You do not have to let us know ahead of time and we will receive your child(ren) at the front entrance.
5:30 p.m. We will keep your child(ren) on campus from 3:05 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. You need to communicate directly with your teacher OR you can fill out our form to indicate when you need regular help.
For any child picked up after program completion, a fee of $5.00 every 10 minutes will be charged.
