General Information

StarCare provides a safe, structured environment for students who arrive before and/or stay after the regular school day--even for occasional drop-ins and unexpected emergencies.

Parents complete and sign a contract at the beginning of each year.  Even if you never actually use the program, it's always there for drop-ins and for emergencies, provided a contract is on file with the school.

For more information, download the StarCare Handbook and Contract from the "Printable Documents" at left.
