Extended Day Information and Application

Purpose

The primary purpose of the Porter-Gaud Extended Day Program is to assist parents by providing after-school supervision for their children in a secure, happy, and relaxed setting. Students are encouraged to complete homework, read, make new friends, respect others, strengthen communication skills and try something new.

Program

Our goal is to offer a flexible program, modified to meet the needs of our community. The students are provided time to complete homework, have snacks and enjoy the afternoon with a variety of games, arts & crafts and sports.

Enrollment

The Extended Day program is available to Porter-Gaud Lower School students.

Hours: 2:45 to 5:45 p.m. daily when school is in session.

Regular Program Plans

1. 5 days Monday - Friday - $200.00 monthly
2. 3 days Monday - Friday - $150.00 monthly

There will be a $25.00 per month reduction for each additional child in the family.

*With the purchase of an Extended Day Monthly Plan, you will receive promotions for local Charleston sports teams like the Riverdogs and Stingrays.

Payment for August-September as well as the completed online agreement will be due Thursday, August 20th. Payments for October through May will be due promptly on the 1st day of the month. Fees are based on an average number of days per month; therefore, each month’s bills will be the same.

If your child participates in an After School Enrichment Program the maximum charge for Extended Day services will be $5.00

There is no reduction in drop-in fees for additional children in the same family. Drop-in fee charges will be billed monthly from the business office and are due upon receipt. Please update Dismissal Manager Regularly.

You must alert the LS Office, Extended Day Director or the Director of Auxiliary Programs if someone other than a parent is picking up your child. Extended Day Director - Joey Ferrelli, jferrelli@portergaud.edu
