After Care
After School
COVID-19 Update
We are currently evaluating both virtual and in-person care for students after school, parallel to the regular school day model. As decisions to reopen school progress, we will share plans to safely engage students after the school day ends. We encourage families to reach out to us if and when they know for sure that they will in-person need After Care this fall. Being able to gauge demand will help inform decisions about care.
After Care
When the school day is over, children may participate in Lowell’s After Care program from 3:15-6:00 pm for Pre-Primary and Primary School and 3:30 pm–6:00 pm for Middle School on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. On Wednesdays, care is provided from 2:00-6:00 pm for all ages. Families may choose to use After Care regularly or on a drop-in basis.

Pre-Primary + Primary School After Care
The goal of After Care is to provide a safe, caring, and enjoyable atmosphere for children, where they can play, make choices, and hone social skills under the guidance of caring adults. Participants have opportunities to engage in a variety of indoor and outdoor games, and activities that take advantage of mixed-age groupings. A healthy snack is provided. Children who have homework are provided with a supervised quiet room to complete their assignments. There is quiet time for K-1 students, 30 minutes of reading for students in 2nd-5th grades, as well as homework help from an After Care staff person. -
Middle School After Care
The After Care program for Middle School students is a homework club where students can complete homework in a quiet environment with peer assistance or adult help, as needed. A healthy snack is served upon arrival. Snack is followed by a brief period of down time with friends before beginning homework. -
