Extended Care

Our Extended Care (EC) program, which is available to students in all grades, allows parents to drop off children before school starts in the morning and/or have them remain there after the regular school day ends.  It is among the benefits we offer to Nysmith families and one that gives them the comfort level of knowing their youngsters are safe and secure for the entire day.

Here are the details for this year’s Extended Care program:

  • AM CARE is provided from 7 to 8 a.m.
  • TRANSITION CARE (2:30-3:00) is for Beginners and PreK students with older siblings and/or who are dismissed at 2:30 and must wait until 3:00 for bus transportation home.
  • PM CARE runs from 3:00 to 6:30.

Drop-in Extended Care is also available.  Parents are encouraged to let the school know in advance when their children will be participating.

NOTE TO PARENTS: Extended Care does not operate on Federal Government holidays, when the Federal Government is closed due to inclement weather or during summer break. On days when Fairfax County schools and The Nysmith School are closed but the Federal Government is open, Extended Care operates on an 8 a.m.– 5 p.m. schedule.
