Extended Day is a self-supporting program, so a fee is charged in order to ensure high-quality services are being provided. Fees are charged monthly from September through June. Pro-rated fees will be established for those using the program less than full time. See the below chart for details.

* One session fee will be charged on Conference and Half Days. Two session fees will be charged on LEAP Days when school is not in session.
