Extended Care

Norfolk Collegiate offers extended care for students at our lower school and a supervised study period for our middle school students before and after school.

Lower School Extended Care

Our lower school extended care is an extension of the school day for students in pre-Kindergarten 3 through Grade 5. We provide a safe and caring environment in which our students are supervised during academic, social and recreational activities. Classroom teachers and teacher assistants are actively involved with the children: reading to them, assisting with homework assignments, playing games, designing creative projects and organizing sporting activities.

Registration & Cost
All lower school students must complete the registration form at the beginning of the school year.

There is a yearly $60 registration fee per student for extended care; however, the school will not charge your student account for the registration fee until the first day your student attends the program.

Daily Fee Structure
Extended care is included in pre-Kindergarten tuition.
Kindergarten through grade 5 families can select between two registration options:
- Five Days a Week Package
  Cost is $3,600 a year
  This package includes 5 days a week.
  Families will be billed the same amount whether the student attends extended care or not.
  Billing: Families will be billed in equal payments of $450 from October through May
  Families who choose to enroll later in the year will be billed for the entirety of the month extended care is used through the final May payment.
- “Drop-in” Package: This should be used occasionally or in an emergency
  Cost is $40 a day
  Families must contact the school to reserve space the day before extended care is needed.
  Families will be billed only for the days that their student uses extended care.
Snacks

All lower school students enrolled in afternoon extended care will be served a snack and drink each day.

Food allergies should be specifically noted so that snacks provided are safe for the student to consume.
School Closings & Delays

In the event that Norfolk Collegiate has an unscheduled early dismissal due to an emergency, including severe weather, extended care will not be offered. Parents will be notified of a closing through our emergency notification system.

If school is delayed, extended care will not be offered.

If school is canceled, extended care program is also canceled.

Middle School Extended Care

Our middle school extended care provides students an opportunity to be on campus and supervised before and after school. Our before school program provides a place for students to get ready for their day when they arrive on campus early. Our goal in the after school program is to give students a pleasant space to be productive and have fun while they remain on campus in the afternoons. It's also an opportunity for them to get a jump start on homework and projects during the quiet study period, to relax, play games and chat with friends in the middle school Explore Room.
