Before and After School Program 2024-2025

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

Payments for the Before/After Care program are made through SchoolCash.  Parents will need to register for SchoolCash at https://schoolcashonline.com/ Parents will be responsible for paying the weekly fee for the program. According to state law, Florida fee-based programs cannot extend credit, so all balances must be paid in full by the end of each school week. To simplify the process, payments are required to be made a week in advance.  Please be aware that signing up for SchoolCash does not register your child for the Before/After Care program.  To register, please click on the registration link at the bottom of the page.

 

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.
