We wish to highlight an excerpt from pages 13-14 of the Student Handbook:

Daily Drop-in: For families who need occasional after school for their child in a pinch, we offer a daily drop in option for $25.00. Please note, this is subject to availability. Lower School families please confirm availability with Faith Blake, fblake@carrollschool.org. Middle School families please contact Mike Kmetz and Alyssa DiPaolo at mkmetz@carrollschool.org and adipaolo@carrollschool.org.

Please note: We realize that every attempt is made to pick up students on time. However, should a ride home run late on a rare occasion, there is a fee for picking up your child after 5 pm. Families will be charged $35.00 for pick ups that occur between 5 and 5:30pm and $60.00 for any pick up that occurs after 5:30.
