SJB After Care
What is After Care?
SJB provides adult supervision in a consistent, structured after-school program of play and study. After school begins right after the school bell rings for 3 pm dismissal. Lower-grade students enrolled in After Care meet in Kindergarten. Upper-grade students meet in the Art Room. Attendance is taken, and then the children enjoy a snack together as they get ready to go outside to play. If it's raining, they go to the gym to play. After a period of play-time, the students come back to the Kazista Center -- where the Art Room, Library, and Kindergarten are located -- for a quiet time of study and homework. The children will return to the playground or gym if there's time. It depends on the child's grade level and amount of homework to do.
Hours of After Care:
- 3 to 6 pm on regular school days
- 12 noon to 4 pm on half-days
How do you sign up for After Care?
Parents may sign up for an annual plan for their child by Sept. 1. They will be billed monthly for the annual plan. To register, parents must pay the $30 After Care registration fee on TADS and complete the After Care sign-up form.
How are families billed for After Care?
Families receive invoices on the 1st of the month and are expected to make their monthly payments by the 20th of the month. Parents are asked to make a check payable to St. John the Baptist and to send it to the school office by the payment due date.
Here's the After Care billing schedule.
