AfterSchool Care

Please remember to register your student for AfterSchool. Daily activity registration for AfterSchool Care is easy with the SchoolPass app! Parents who plan to use AfterSchool can register for multiple days or weeks in advance (and you can change the schedule as needed). Registration can be found by clicking the (+) on the SchoolPass app Home screen and then selecting “Activity.” 

Other than AfterSchool Care, supervision for children after 3 p.m. is not available. We understand that emergencies and delays can occur. Students not picked up by 3:30 p.m. will be sent to AfterSchool Care.

Parents will be billed monthly by the Business Office and the cost will be as follows. You are only billed for the actual time used.

AfterSchool Care charges begin at 3:10 p.m. Please note that there is an additional $30 late fee for each fifteen minutes (or any part thereof) past the 6 p.m. pick-up time.

The Steward School (pursuant to the Code of Virginia § 22.1-289.030 and 2022 Session SB 193) falls under the exemption for child day programs. The exemption is offered to private schools that are accredited and in good standing with the Virginia Council for Private Education (VCPE) and adhere to the safety and supervisory standards established by the VCPE. Junior Kindergarten supplemental after-school programming falls under the exemption for a certified preschool program operated by an accredited private school as set forth in § 22.1-19 and administered by the VCPE that complies with the provisions of § 22.1-289.032.

Throughout the school year, we offer three sessions of after-school enrichment classes to Steward students. The fall 2024 enrichment offerings are now available.

Register for fall 2024 enrichment offerings.

In the past, our program has featured classes in cooking, watercolor painting, pottery, science, comedy, sports, and more. We offer favorite classes time and again while adding new and exciting ones to our enrichment curriculum based on availability and student interest. Flyers describing the classes are distributed throughout the school year. Classes are held for six-week sessions and typically cost $130 per student, per class. Enrollment is limited, so we ask parents to enroll early.

Half-Day Adventures offer Lower and Middle School students an option besides AfterSchool Care on those days when school is dismissed early. Half-Day Adventures have included golf instruction at Bogey’s Sports Park, a fishing outing with Virginia Outside, and a baking class in the Bryan Innovation Lab.
