Extended Day Program

The Extended Day Program is a service for working parents and follows the same schedule as our school calendar. We are located in the school's east wing, in Rooms 19-21.

If your child needs to attend the Extended Day Program and is not regularly scheduled, please call the school office at 847-966-3266. The school office will let the Extended Day staff know to expect your child.

• The Before School Session runs from 6:30 a.m. until 8:05 a.m.
• The After School Session on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday runs from 3:00 pm until 6:00 pm. On Tuesdays, the After School Session runs from 2:00 pm until 6:00 pm.
• When school is in session for a half-day, the program begins at noon.

** An emergency form must be on file in the Extended Day room for each child **

The Extended Day calendars are accepted on a first-come basis beginning on Organization Day in August. Calendars with payment will hold your child's place; a filled-out emergency form does not guarantee a permanent place in the program. When the program is filled to capacity a notice will be placed in the school newsletter.

The program is structured to accommodate children of all ages. The After School Session follows a general daily schedule.

• Play Time – The children go outside, weather permitting, otherwise to the gym. This gives them time to unwind. There is a variety of equipment to play with.
• Snack Time – We provide a variety of juices and snacks such as cookies, popcorn, pretzels, etc., and special treats for the holidays. On half days, you need to send a lunch, including a drink.
• Homework Room – There is a separate room for the children to work on their homework. We feel it is important to encourage the children to get as much done as possible.
• Activity Time – There are various activities available to the children. Our supervisors are eager to work with them as they read, color, draw, or plan a craft project. We also have many games for the children's use.
• DVD Player/VCR – There is a DVD Player/VCR for the occasional movie.

Together we can provide a happy and safe environment for all the children. We hope your children will come and enjoy our program. For additional information, contact SJB school.
