Latchkey Program : "After the Bell"

Bethany School "After the Bell" Latchkey program is offered to students in grades kindergarten through grade
eight. Teachers provide daily homework assistance, outside play time (weather permitting); quiet time; and
activities suitable to each age level. Each child is provided a healthy snack and drink. Games, crafts, puzzles, movies, and more are accessible on a daily basis. Morning latchkey begins at 7:00 am and continues until
7:30 am when our regular school day begins. Students are supervised from 7:30 am until 7:55 am when the
