Each distinct extended care group must be defined in advance of checking students into the group. Extended care groups include, at a minimum, these parameters:

1. Group Name
2. Daily Cost
3. End Time (Late Time)
4. Late Time Rate (per minute)

To create or edit an extended care group, navigate to GROUPS / EXTENDED CARE: EXTENDED CARE

Click on the group name of an existing group to modify it or click on New to create a new extended care group

It is common to have at least three distinct extended care groups for after school, potentially another for morning care, and possibly a fifth for days that service is provided when school either not in session or is in session for less than a full school day.

• Normal Extended Care
  • Full Price, e.g., $15.00
  • End Time, e.g., 6:00 PM
  • Late Rate: $1.50 per minute
• Enrichment Extended Care, for students in an enrichment class for a portion of the extended care period
  • Lower Price, e.g., $10.00
  • End Time, e.g., 6:00 PM
  • Late Rate: $1.50 per minute
• Longer Extended Care, for days that school dismisses earlier than normal
  • Higher Price, e.g., $20.00
  • End Time, e.g., 6:00 PM
  • Late Rate: $1.50 per minute
• Drop In Extended Care, for students that require extended care on a day not signed up or paid for in advance
  • High Price, e.g., $35.00
  • End Time, e.g., 6:00 PM
  • Late Rate: $1.50 per minute

It may be necessary to create even more extended care groups to reflect different prices for other configurations such as Longer Extended Care plus Enrichment, Drop In plus Enrichment (parent had planned to pick up student following enrichment but did not arrive on time); Enrichment Only (possibly $0.00 fee but an earlier end time and a different overate rate of $0.75 per minute), and so on.

There is no limit to the number of extended care groups that may be configured to match the individual needs of each school.
