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. There may be situations beyond our control when we must close the program. We do not provide daycare 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 school programs. Students will have time to work on homework in both programs. Throughout the year, students in the after school program will have the opportunity to use the gymnasium to play basketball, volleyball, etc.
Hours of Operation
The before school program will be held each day school is in session from 7:00 AM - 9:15 AM. The after school program will be held each day school is in session from dismissal to 6:00 PM.

Payments
All accounts MUST have a zero balance every 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) attend the morning and/or afternoon program.
Insufficient Funds: If insufficient funds occur, the program director will contact you. The amount of the returned charge must be rectified immediately. After a third insufficient funds, a new card will be required to have on file. In addition, before and/or after care services will be suspended until a new card is on file.
Refunds/Credits: There will be no refunds for any student, including childcare subsidies. All monies credited to your account must be used towards day care services. Make sure that you have a zero balance at the end of each year.
Program Rules
We 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 on your enrollment 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.
****AFTER (3) LATE PICK UP CHARGES THE FEE WILL DOUBLE to $40.****
