STEM Secondary is happy to provide safe and supervised after-school care for middle and high school students from 3:00 – 6:00 pm on school days. After-care takes place in the MS cafeteria on the west side of campus, and parents pick up their students at STEM’s athletic entrance. No need to schedule in advance; students can simply drop in once registered. Care is only offered on days when school is in session and not during school holidays or breaks.
SmartCare manages student attendance and payment for secondary after-care. Please register your student(s) in SmartCare before they attend. To register, email enrichment@stemk12.org with the subject “SmartCare,” and we’ll set up an account for you. If you already have an account, login here.
Spartan Afternoon Care Program | 3-6 p.m. | $10 |
Late Pick-up Fee | after 6 p.m. | $1/min |
If you’re looking for Elementary After-School Care, please see the Get Informed page of the Parent Section of the Website.
