Our Program
Challenger Middle School offers a before school and an after school program for its students. This is a fee-based program. The program will operate any day that school is in session. There will be no After Care for early dismissal days. Before/After Care is not provided when the school is closed for vacations, teacher in-service days, or teacher duty days. Students will be provided a meal during both the Before and After Care programs. Students will have time to work on homework in both programs. Throughout the year, students in the After Care program will have the opportunity to use the gymnasium or go outside to play basketball, volleyball, etc.
***A new registration needs to be completed every school year.***

Payments
Per state law, Florida fee-based programs are
not allowed to extend credit, so all balances
must be paid in full at the end of each school
week. In order to make this as easy as
possible, a credit or debit card must be
provided at the time of registration. The card
number will be kept on file and charged on
Friday of the week the student(s) attended the
morning and/or afternoon program.
Declined Cards:
If your card is declined you must put a new
card on file before the next week's charges are
due. If for some reason you can not make a
payment, contact Mr. Preston at
[email protected] or 239-242-4341 to
let him know that the card can not be charged.
A new card must be put on file as soon as
possible.
Program Rules
The programs will follow the school discipline
policy. Our goal is to make the program a fun
and entertaining release from the regular day.
Cell phones are permitted. Only clear water
bottles are allowed.
Pick up/drop off:
If a student gets dropped off before 9:15 AM
that doesn’t belong on campus they will be
charged the morning program for that day.
Students should be dropped off and picked up
at the front entrance of Challenger Middle
School.
Closing Time/Late Pick Up Fees:
The after school program closes promptly at
6:00 PM each day. If you are unable to pick up
your child by this time, please make
arrangements with someone who is authorized
to pick up your child from your registration
form. The person picking up your child must
have proper identification. Unauthorized
contacts will not be permitted
to pick up your child from school. If your
child is picked up after 6:00 PM, a $20 late
fee will be assessed. This will be strictly
enforced.
