2019 - 2020
Beginning Monday, September 9, 2019, Holy Family Regional Catholic School's AfterCare services are available for families whose schedules require students to remain after school when the regular school day ends at 2:30 pm. AfterCare is open until 5:25 pm. This service is fee-based and is separate from your child’s tuition.
Space is not limited.
This program ensures that any child that needs to remain after school will be in a safe, structured, adult-supervised environment. AfterCare is available to Holy Family students Pre-K through 8th grade.
There is no AfterCare on early dismissal or half school days including weather-related early closures.
Families are required to carefully review all of the information provided throughout this website. See the site menu tabs for rates and instructions for sign-up. All necessary forms can be downloaded and printed from the "Sign-Up & Forms" tab. AfterCare requires pre-scheduling and prepayment (exceptions apply for late-notice Drop-Ins -- see "Sign-Up & Forms" tab for details). To pay online, click on any of the blue "Pay Online" buttons or, log on to your SmartTuition® account.

In addition to providing emergency contact information, this signed form serves as your contract agreeing to abide by all terms and conditions of the use of CARES services as outlined in all of the CARES web pages.
