After-School Programs

CARE Registration via lottery for all NCSD elementary schools happens in the Spring for the following school year and for summer programs. There is a waitlist that you can join at any time.

Registration information for 21st Century afterschool programs will be sent out in late September by your student's home school via ParentSquare. (Lot Whitcomb, Rowe, and New Urban only.)

CARE fees are monthly during the school year and weekly during summer programs. You can find specific fees listed here./fs/pages/7992

Thanks to a 21st Century Community Learning Centers grant, the 21st Century afterschool programs at Lot Whitcomb, Rowe, and New Urban are free of charge to students, including meals and transportation.

Program hours are generally from school dismissal time until 5:30pm or 6:00pm depending on the site. 

For CARE, transportation is provided from morning CARE locations to schools and from schools to afternoon CARE locations. Families are responsible for dropping students off in the early mornings and picking students up in the afternoons/evenings from CARE locations.

21st Century programs offer school bus transportation home each day from programs.
