About our Program
The Extended Day Program provides before and after school care to students in Evergreen Park School District 124. Here at Central, the program is open to all students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. We have a fun and inviting atmosphere with caring, dedicated staff members. The Before School Program runs from 7:00 - 8:20 AM (9:20 on Late Start Wednesdays) and the After School Program runs from 3:05 - 6:05 PM.
BEFORE SCHOOL PROGRAM:
The before school program is held in the Cafeteria. Breakfast is provided by the food service department. Students are then given time to prepare for their school day, while also being able to socialize and join in group games in the gym. Students will be dismissed to their homeroom classes at 8:20 (9:20 on Late Starts).

AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM:
The After School Program meets in Room LL9 (Art Room), unless the Cafeteria is available. Students are dismissed from classes at 3:05 PM. Our afternoon starts with a snack. Students are also provided with 30 minutes of homework time starting at 4:30, so they can get a good start on their homework, complete an educational activity from our resources, or read a book. After that, students have more time to socialize and play!
