  10. Extended Care Program • In our fall Parent MonkeySurvey, we were asked to look at options for more help in Extended Care. We hired a third person on January 6, 2014 at no extra cost to families using this service. Parents also asked for more After School Club options. • Changes for next year • $3.50 per hour whether you are in Extended Care, Study Hall or a club…prorated on the ½ hour. Paid monthly based on use. No more Study Hall passes or club fees outside of materials. • Teachers will not be subsidizing Extended Care Fees next year with $1 study halls. Instead some will start clubs: Lego, robotics, knitting, yearbook, choir and more ideas to come. Kids commit to a club, go to Extended Care program or home. No bouncing around in clubs between trimesters. • Study Hall will run Monday-Thursdays 3:00-4:00 (Wed 2:00-3:00) at Extended Care rates for all students Grades K-8. Friday is a No Study Hall day.
