Before & After Care

The Watchung Borough School District is proud to offer a Before and After School Program to our students. The Programs will run daily at Bayberry Elementary School on days when school is in session. Be sure to check the Inclement Weather Section for important program information as well.

During the regular school year, Before Care is available to students at Bayberry School from 7:00 am to the start of school. After Care is available from dismissal until 6:30 pm.

All Board Policies and Procedures, including the Restart and Recovery Plan, are in effect during Before and After Care.

During Before and After Care Programs, children will be engaged in a variety of activities, including games, arts and crafts, indoor and outdoor activities, homework time, and snack time.

Please reach out to careprograms@watchungschools.us with any questions.

Inclement Weather

If the district is closed for an inclement weather day, Before Care and After Care Programs are cancelled for that day. If a delayed opening is announced, Before Care is cancelled.

If the district announces an early dismissal from school due to inclement weather, After Care will be cancelled. All students will leave school at the end of the school day based on the early dismissal schedule. Parents of children who participate in After Care will be notified to determine whether their child will take the bus home or be picked up at the early dismissal time.

If weather conditions deteriorate after school hours while the After Care Program is in operation, the After Care Program may close early. The After Care Program Coordinator will reach out to parents and emergency contacts on record to pick up their child.
