Our regular After Care program offers children in Beginners through Grade 6 a balance of
organized and free-play activities that provide a pleasant, comfortable, and less structured afternoon experience. Activities include free play, games, art, stories,
computer time, and a quiet place for homework with After Care students grouped according to grade level and is available for all Lower School students, Beginners through Grade 6 from 3:00-5:30 PM (2:00-5:30 PM on Wednesdays) during the school year. After Care is only available when school is in session for a full day. After Care is NOT available on half days of school.
* Please Note: There is no After Care provided for Beginners with a half day schedule during the first week of school in September. As such, the first day Beginners can participate in After Care is Monday, September 12th, 2011 at 3:00
Beginners, Kindergarten, and Grade 1: Upon school dismissal in the Morse Building, students in Beginners, Kindergarten and Grade 1 will be escorted to the Bridgeman House. The Bridgeman House will now be the home of After Care for these younger students enabling them to enjoy their very own space designed just or them. Children will be provided a snack and roster will be taken. The day will progress with game play, crafts, activities, and outside time. Children in this group should be picked up by parents/guardians in the Bridgeman House no later than 5:30 each night. Access to the Bridgeman House after 5:00pm will be from around the Morse Building via the outdoor side gate to the left of the Morse Building.
Grade 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6: Upon school dismissal in the Brick Building, the older students registered for After Care, (in grades 2 through grade 6), will be permitted to walk unescorted to the Brick Building Community Room (BBC). The BBC will be the home of After Care for all of our older students where they will be able to take advantage of the
large play area of the Community Room but also have access to the library and the Mac Computer Lab. All rooms will be monitored and use of any/all rooms will be dependent upon student need and proper supervision. After roster is taken, students will enjoy a snack and then be able to choose from an assortment of games, crafts, quiet library time, homework, and possible computer time. At the end of the first hour, these older children will merge with the younger After Care children by meeting on the playgrounds for outside play time. If a child prefers, he or she may stay outside to play or go inside the Bridgeman House to continue homework or play board games. At this time, if parents choose to pick up their children they may do so by checking in with the teachers at the Bridgeman House and gathering their child's belongings.
After Care is only available when school is in session for a full day. After Care is NOT available on half days of school. After Care is offered on a per semester basis

Study Hall Program:
Lower School students who have siblings at the Middle School campus can participate in the Study Hall Program to bridge the gap between the varying dismissal times on Mondays and Wednesdays at those two campuses during the school year. As the Middle School will NOW dismisses at a very similar time to the Lower School on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, there is no Study Hall offered on those days for this group. Study Hall begins immediately following school dismissal and runs for 50 minutes on Monday (pick up by 3:50) and for 50 minutes on Wednesdays (pick up by 2:50) . Children in this program will be encouraged to utilize this time to work on homework, the computer, or quiet time.
Study Hall students will be grouped with the After Care students and meet in the Brick
Building Community Room or the Bridgeman House depending on grade level (see After Care description above). Study Hall students will be given a snack after "check in" and encouraged to participate in the activities of After Care. The older students will be expected to make use of the library to complete homework, although quiet board games and possible computer time may be an option as well. There is a nominal fee for this program. Registration is required for participation. Study Hall is offered on a per semester basis. Each semester coincides with the half way point of the BB&N academic calendar.
The Study Hall Program follows the same semester schedule as
