Extension

The St. Mel School Extension Program is a before and after school program designed to meet the needs of busy families. Our goal each day is to provide a safe, healthy and positive atmosphere and compliment your child’s needs before and/or after the regular school day in a consistent faith filled environment. The Extension Program shadows the school’s policies, procedures and calendar. This program is offered to all children enrolled in St. Mel Catholic School in grades TK through Eight Grade. The curriculum and daily schedule of events is designed to complement the philosophy and value system of the school and families.

We are open on the days the school is holding classes, including minimum days. We are closed on holidays, Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter vacations and Teacher In-service Days. Typically, there are three scheduled Teacher In-service Days during the school year. The Extension program opens at 7:00 a.m. and closes at 6:00 p.m. Students have the ability to attend on-campus activities such as choir, band, baton, scout meetings, yearbook, athletic events, sport practices and academic meetings and are able to come to Extension before and after the activity. This provides continuity and safety in the student’s day and peace of mind for parents!

The St. Mel School Extension Program is not subsidized by the school or parish. Fees are the sole support of this program. They are many alternatives to choose from if you are in need of this service. The Extension Program tries very hard to be accommodating and affordable for various scheduling needs. Registration materials and a Fee Schedule for Extension are available on the school website.
