CARES

Saint Mary Interparochial School CARES Enrichment program provides students in grades K-4 with a safe environment in which they can participate in both academic and recreational activities after school hours. Our CARES after school program begins when the regular school day ends. Parents may register for the CARES program by emailing schooloffice@saintmarys.us or calling the school office at (215)-923-7522.

Students in grades K-4 participating in CARES come to the cafeteria at the end of the regular school day to enjoy a snack (sent in with child for CARES). Then children are escorted to classrooms according to their grade for homework assistance. A teacher and group leaders are available to help the children in each class complete their work. CARES is offered from dismissal to 5:30 PM. If picked up after 5:30 PM a late fee of $30.00 will be charged through FACTS.
