Pick Up
Children may only be released to the authorized persons listed on the Dismissal Arrangements Form turned in prior to the beginning of the school year. Any changes to that form must be put in writing and emailed to frontdesk@nps-dc.org.
After 3 Club children may be picked up anytime between 3:15 and 6:00 pm at the parents’ convenience. There is no 6:00 pm carpool line. Caregivers must park and come to the Front Desk to sign their student out. A staff member will bring the student to the Front Desk at that time. Patience may be required – caregivers should maintain social distance from others while waiting and may be asked to move to a secondary location such as the patio seating area in front of the school.
You may also give advance notice to the Front Desk of at least 30 minutes and staff can bring your child to the Front Desk to wait ahead of time.
Late Pick Up
If a student is not enrolled in After 3 Club and is not picked up by the end of carpool, the student will be asked to wait at the front desk area and may not join After 3 Club.
After 3 Club closes at 6:00 pm. If a student has not been picked up by 6:00, a late charge of $2.00 per minute per child is charged.
Every effort should be made to pick up students on time and as promised. In the case of an unpreventable delay, it is imperative to communicate with the school as soon as possible.
Dismissal Changes
Registered students will be dismissed or escorted from their classrooms directly to After 3 Club at the start of carpool.
If you wish to pick up your student from carpool instead of After 3 Club, you must notify the Front Desk by 2:00 pm that day (11:00 am on Noon Dismissal Days). You may call (202) 537-7500 or email frontdesk@nps-dc.org. If you do not notify the Front Desk, please park in the lot and walk to the main entrance for pick up.
Noon Dismissal Days
On Noon Dismissal days, After 3 Club runs 12:00 pm to 6:00 pm. Students in After 3 Club eat lunch with their groups (outside if possible) on these days, and there are typically slight changes to the schedule. Students in grades K-6 watch a movie and may take part in a special activity. Students in grades PK3-PK4 have a story and rest period from 1:00-2:00 pm.
When the school closes early for holidays or before breaks, After 3 Club is not offered. Please see the school calendar for these dates.
