WINGS - Extended School Program
"Welcome In God's Spirit"
The WINGS Extended School Program provides a safe, nurturing, and engaging after-school environment for students of St. Joan of Arc School. As an extension of the school day, WINGS supports the school’s values while providing a welcoming space where students can continue to learn, build friendships, and grow. The program encourages academic, social, and emotional development while offering families dependable after-school care.
WINGS is supervised by trained staff members who are committed to providing a safe, positive, and welcoming environment for every child. Staff receive ongoing training, and staffing levels are maintained according to the number and ages of students in attendance to ensure appropriate supervision throughout the program.
The program operates Monday through Friday from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. and is open to students in Preschool (3-year-olds) through Grade 8. Students in Grades 6–8 may have opportunities to serve as Junior Helpers, assisting younger students while developing leadership skills, responsibility, and confidence.
Each afternoon, students enjoy a structured schedule that includes snack time, homework support, indoor and outdoor recreation, and planned enrichment activities. Activities may include arts and crafts, STEM projects, seasonal celebrations, and other age-appropriate activities designed to keep students engaged, active, and having fun in a safe and supportive environment.
Enrollment information is available through the school office. WINGS tuition will be billed through Simple Tuition Solutions and added to each family’s tuition statement.
