Before- and After-School Programs
Schools offering programs
Many of our schools offer safe and enriching Before- and After-School Programs. Programs may be provided by the school or by third-party partners.
Contact your school to learn what is available.
Programs operated by WCPSS serve students in Kindergarten through 5th grade. Most Before-School Programs open at 7 a.m. After-School Programs end at 6 p.m.
See the list of Before- and After-School programs by school.

Your school will provide enrollment forms, parent information sheets, and payment schedules that match its bell schedule.
There is a separate, non-refundable registration fee of $15 for each program. Fees are based on $2.75 per hour and apply to each child in your family.
