Panther Care

Our Panther Care program is available for students who arrive before 7:30 AM (grades PK3-2) / 7:30 AM (grades 3-12). The program is also available for students who remain on campus after 3:30 PM.  Students who arrive outside of the allotted drop-off and pick-up times will be placed in this program for supervision. Parents will be charged monthly for this program according to the current fee schedule which is $12.00/hour.  

Panther Care is a before and after care program for students. Registration is required to participate. Any student not registered in the program will incur a rate of $15 per hour for late pick-up after 3:30 PM. Additionally, any student not picked up from Panther Care by 6:00 PM will be charged an additional $1 per minute thereafter.

If school is delayed due to inclement weather, Before Care will be canceled.  If school closes early due to inclement weather, After Care will be canceled.
