[quote=Anonymous]Extended day at Hardy was tentatively launched in Sept. 2014 (administered by a private provider, who had been selected by the Principal). Fewer than 5 kids/family enrolled. The program proved unsustainable and was halted after a few weeks.  I do not think the Principal will attempt re-launching it. Interested parents should count  their numbers and re-approach the same or a different company. I am sure the Principal/DCPS will make the space available if a sufficient number of interested families were committed.

The truth is that, after a few weeks of middle school, most families realize that their  6th graders are capable of going back home alone and stay home and do homework on their own.

Some Hardy students go to the Jelleff after school program or to the Georgetown Library and hangout with friends for some time before heading home. When my son was at Hardy, I could easily able to find information of the afterschool offerings at Jelleff and at the Georgetown Library from their respective website.

Students can also stay an extra hour in the Library , but back then Ms Pride was very clear in stating that this could not be considered  a reliable after-school arrangement, due to capacity constraints of the library and unavailability of the librarian on some days after school. [/quote]
