Extended Day is open to ALL students, but at this time PARA is only able to provide transportation for children who attend Rock Quarry Elementary School. Parents are responsible for transportation arrangements for any child participating in the program who attends a school other than Rock Quarry.

 

Please sign up by Friday the week before your child attends ($3.00 late fee applies for signing up after that). Space is limited, so register early to save your child's spot! 

 

Students must be registered before being dropped off. The parent handbook form must be printed out and turned in on the first day your child attends any PARAkids program. Click HERE for parent handbook (UPDATED for the 2022/23 school year).
