IHM is happy to be able to offer an Extended Day Program. General information is outlined on this page, or you may call the IHM School Office at 914-723-5608 for more information.
Extended Day Program
A family interested in using the Extended Day Program must register each school year.
On full school days, the program will run Monday - Friday from 2:30p.m. to 6:00 p.m. It will follow the school calendar.
The program will also be available on select days when dismissal is 11:30 a.m. Availability may extend to 3 p.m. or 6 p.m. on these days and parents will be notified in advance through the monthly school calendar and weekly Wednesday Flocknotes.
The program will NOT be available when school is closed or there is an early dismissal due to inclement weather, on holidays, or on holy days. It will NOT be available on half days before Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. Extended care will end the Wednesday of the last week of school.
Parents are responsible for notifying the program staff or main office of any changes in their child's schedule at least 24 hours in advance. Messages may be left at the school office, at (914) 723-5608.
Children should bring their own drinks and snacks. On early dismissal days, students are expected to bring their own lunch. Punctuality in picking up your child is essential. Additional rates apply after 6 p.m. and are assessed at a rate of $20 per 30 minutes. Parents will be billed at the beginning of the month for the previous month’s services. Payment should be given to the School Office. Checks are to be made payable to "IHM School" and made in a timely fashion.
Homework may be completed in the Extended Day Program should the student wish to do so.
The Extended Day Program provides students with an opportunity for socialization, playing games, building blocks, completing puzzles, drawing, painting or simply reading if they wish.
