Reminder regarding Punctual Pick-ups - Please be prompt when picking up students from after school sports practices and games and from our aftercare program.

Families that repeatedly pick up after 6pm (i.e., more than twice) will be invoiced a $10 late fee for pickup between 6 and 6:10pm. After the first 10 minutes, additional fees of $10 per minute will be assessed. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
