Extended Day Program

Located in the lunchroom, students in Extended Day can do their homework, play quiet games, and participate in other self-directed activities with their friends. Depending on the weather and gym availability after school, students have the option for physical activity on the playground or inside. Additionally, a separate homeroom/quiet room is currently available one day a week. All students must attend Extended Day if not under the supervision of an adult during before and after school hours.

Extended Day is available for an additional fee, listed below. An active online account (powered by CampBrain) is required for every participating family, as the school emails monthly invoices through this system. However, Extended Day is a completely drop-in service, so the school does not need advance notice that a child will attend nor is there is any registration beyond having an active account. 

Fees are waived if needing to utilize Extended Day prior to or following an extracurricular activity, and for students needing supervision while their parent volunteers or has a scheduled meeting with a faculty/staff member. 

For questions about Extended Day, please contact Zach Elkin, Director of Auxiliary Programs, at zelkin@scienceandartsacademy.org 847-827-7880.
