After School 6-12
Need a place for your student to go between school and the start of practice?
After School 6-12 is a safe place for middle school and high school students who cannot be picked up at dismissal or those who need a place to be before or after their extracurricular activity. Students have the opportunity to do homework, quiet activities, hang out, and socialize from secondary dismissal at 4:10 p.m. (MTTF) and 1:35 p.m. (W) until 5:45 p.m.
For safety purposes, students are not permitted to remain on campus unsupervised after carline. Whether they are waiting for a ride or for their extracurricular activity to start, they must wait in After School 6-12.
