Morning-care is available to all students at a minimal cost in kindergarten through eighth grade on full school days and early dismissal days from 7:30–8:00 a.m. Morning-care is billed at the drop-in child- care rate, which is rounded daily to the nearest 15 minutes. Exceptions to morning-care fees are made for siblings of choirboys and boys in morning band rehearsal. However, the Director of AfterSchool Enrichment must have written parental notification for these boys to be exempt from fees. The after-care program allows boys to interact with classmates and friends after school in a safe, fun, and relaxed environment. The after-care staff utilizes the school playground, daycare room, and Lower School classrooms for various free-play and directed activities throughout the year. The after-care program is available to students in kindergarten through eighth grade, Monday through Friday, from 2:30–6:00 p.m. After-care is billed at the drop-in childcare rate, which is rounded daily to the nearest 15 minutes. Study hall allows Upper School students the opportunity to study, do homework, read, and work together to complete projects. Monday through Thursday, Upper School students check into Library study hall at their dismissal. After 5:00 p.m., all Library study hall students will report to the after-care room until pick-up. Study hall will not be available during Outdoor Education week. Study Hall is billed at the drop-in childcare rate, which is rounded daily to the nearest 15 minutes. Students enrolled in after-care should be picked up prior to 6 p.m. at the Jones Street entrance. Late fees will be incurred for late arrivals. The security officer will inform the after-school staff of your arrival. You do not need to call prior to your arrival on Jones Street. Cathedral School will not release students to any unauthorized individuals. Please inform the Director of Afterschool Enrichment via email whenever someone other than the regular caretaker is picking up your son from daycare. Older brothers and carpool mates may retrieve younger boys. Please note that younger boys with earlier dismissal times should be registered with after-care until pick-up.
Break camps are offered during winter and spring breaks when there is sufficient interest. Details and pre-registration forms will be available prior to each camp.
After-school enrichment classes are offered during the year and are taught by Cathedral School staff, members of the School community, and professional instructors from around the Bay Area. Past enrich- ment courses have included: individual music lessons, martial arts, robotics, 3-D animation, LEGO engi- neering, gardening, movie-making, chess, coding, language learning through play, and more. Refunds will not be granted after the first day of enrichment classes. If the minimum enrollment for each class is not met, the enrichment class may be canceled before the first day of class. Please contact the Director of AfterSchool Enrichment, Cord Greene at greene@cathedralschool.net regarding financial assistance for morning-care, after-care, study hall, and enrichment classes.
