Extended Day Program
Westside School believes that all students can succeed in school with the right combination of quality programs, focused resources, and community support.
Research has shown that participation in out-of-school-time (EDP) programs can lead to improvements in youth’s educational outcomes (e.g., academic achievement, school behavior, attitudes toward school, attendance and educational expectations); enhance social and emotional development (e.g., self-esteem, positive social behavior); and reduce the likelihood that they will engage in risk-taking behavior.
Westside School offers an inclusive, multi-aged Extended Day Program, designed to engage interest of all kinds, so that every child can do something they truly enjoy! The Extended Day Team is committed to providing a safe and supportive environment both physically and emotionally for before and after school, where children can learn, grow, make friends, and explore new interests all while having fun!

After School Drop-In Care
Due to student/teacher ratio considerations, only a limited number of drop-in spaces will be available per day. The drop-in fee is $40 per afternoon; the hours are not prorated. We ask that you register no later than noon on the day of care so that we may staff the program accordingly; late registration may incur an additional $10 fee. Drop-in care is currently only available for students in K-8th Grade.
ENRICHMENT CLASSES
THE ENRICHMENT CATALOG FOR FALL 2023 WILL BE PUBLISHED IN SEPTEMBER.
Enrichment classes are designed for Kindergarten-8th grade students and offered once a week after school.
TRANSITION TIME AND SNACK: All students enrolled in an enrichment class will have a brief transition period between their grade level dismissal and the enrichment class start time. They will be supervised and served a Westside-provided snack.
DISMISSAL AND EDP: Students not enrolled in EDP on the day of their enrichment class are expected to be picked up at the class end time. Students who are not picked up within 10 minutes of the class end time will automatically be enrolled in EDP and asked to pay the standard drop-in fee of $40/afternoon.
Students with an EDP contract who are scheduled to attend aftercare the day of the enrichment class will be directed to their EDP space after the class is over. Pickup will be before 5:30pm and follow the same procedure as regular EDP.
