Elementary Before and After Care

Kids Club Days
When school has a half-day or a day off, we open Kids Club! We plan a variety of activities to make these days fun and memorable. Some special events or field trips may incur an extra fee, but students enrolled at least 3 days per week can attend Kids Club free of charge.
Home-School Connections
In addition to sharing information at pick-up and drop-off times, GHES teachers communicate with families through Procare Engage, a digital communication app. iPads in each classroom allow our school-age teachers to send daily reports on classroom activities (photos and videos), special events, and reminders. Families can also use Engage to update teachers on any special considerations for the day.
