Extended Day
The Tesseract Extended Day (TED) Program is a convenient service for busy families who need care for their children after the school day ends. TED was created with your child's continued development in mind. There are several options available so you can make the choices that fit your family's needs. Our experienced and knowledgeable staff is hired with the Tesseract philosophy in mind. TED strives to provide the best quality after-school program in the Valley. We offer an enticing array of fun and interesting programs designed for students’ interests and your after-school care needs.
Extended day hours start 15 minutes after dismissal.
There are three aspects to extended day: before school, after school and enrichment programs.
Before School Extended Day Program
Children may arrive no earlier than 7:15 a.m. There is no charge for this service.
After School Extended Day Program
After school extended day begins 15 minutes past a student’s dismissal time and runs until 6:00 p.m. The extended- day enrollment fee is required for any child to attend the after-school program. A flat fee is charged per student/per session, regardless of how many hours the student remains at the school each day.

Refunds
Refunds will be issued on a case-by-case basis, with review by the extended-day supervisor and coordinator. Refund request forms are available in the front office. Refunds will not be accepted after the second enrichment class, or second full week of extended day. All enrichment-class refunds will be prorated and will also be assessed a $25.00 processing fee. Any students dismissed by any enrichment class or the extended-day program will not be refunded.
Call In/Drop In
Any child who is still at school 15 minutes past dismissal time will be charged the extended-day fee for that day. Children who are not enrolled in extended day may participate as a "drop in," if space is available. The daily drop-in fees are as follows:
Monday-Thursday |
Dismissal - 6:00 p.m. |
Call in - $25 per day; drop in - $30 per day |
| Friday |
Dismissal - 6:00 p.m. |
Call in - $30 per day; drop in - $35 per day |
All students who will need to drop in to extended day will receive a $5.00 per day discount if they are called in by 2:00 p.m. that day. Students dropping in with no notice will be subjected to a higher rate. Any students on campus who are not participating in tutoring will be written in as a drop in. However, if the student is at tutoring and then drops into extended day, there will be a drop-in charge, regardless of how long they are in extended day. Parents are given a 30-minute grace period to pick up their children each day as listed above, and then will automatically be placed on our drop-in list, regardless of how long the student stays in the program.
Late Pick Up
All students must be picked up by 6:00 p.m. Any student picked up after 6:05 p.m. will incur a $20 late fee.
Homework Club
Homework Club is available for all students in our extended-day program. Homework Club runs Monday through Thursday from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Parents may sign up for Homework Club by selecting the appropriate box on the registration form or by notifying the Extended Day Coordinator. If you sign your children up for Homework Club, they will be brought to Homework Club each day unless they have an enrichment or sports activity. Students will have a chance to do homework in a quiet environment, and when finished they may rejoin the main extended day group. Students with no homework will stay with the main extended day group. Students who are disruptive are subject to our three-strike disciplinary plan. If any student receives more than two “three-strike” occurrences during any school month at Homework Club will no longer be able to participate in the program.
Enrichment Programs
The school offers many interesting and fun after-school activities and classes as part of the enrichment program. Class selections vary throughout the year. The fee(s) for on-campus enrichment programs are in addition to the extended-day program fee.
Our enrichment programs run three consecutive sessions:
August 31 – November 24
November 30 – March 5
March 8– May 28
Registration will be available three weeks prior to the start of each enrichment session. Registration forms will be due to the front office no later than ten (10) days prior to the start of the class. The result of late registration is a $5 late fee per day. Registration is due one week and a half prior to start date to allow our extended day vendors to properly staff and have enough materials for all students attending. Many of our vendors require a minimum number of students to be registered in order to be able to run a class. All classes have a maximum number of students, so early registration guarantees a space in the class. If additional supervision is needed for your student after his/her enrichment class, please register him/her for Extended Day. Students who are not enrolled in Extended Day will be considered a drop in if the child is not picked up 15 minutes after his/her enrichment class ends.
