OP is talking about middle school and in middle school, the students absolutely have to check in/check out for afterschool activities.
The middle school "extended day"/"childcare" program in MS is called "Check In". That's different from checking yourself in and out of various activities, which, yes, all participants need to do. But you don't have to be enrolled in "Check In"
Thanks. So, the kids who do not participate in the official "Check In," program just go to the club or sports that they have chosen? How late can they stay at school waiting for parents to pick them up? Can they wait in the library?

Look on page 8 and 9 for after school info.
Thank you!
My son is at Swanson and they cannot just stay after school. They have to be in a club or with a teacher. He can wait outside.

Subject: Gunston MS Afterschool Activities
Hi everyone, My son will start Gunston MS next year. He has always been in extended care in elementary school. What are the options at Gunston for after school. I believe there is the traditional extended day (check in and check out process), but I'm not clear on the other options. Do some of the kids not enroll in the extended day (check in and check out), but still participate in after school activities? What is the latest time that the kids can be picked up if they are not in extended day or if they are in extended day? Any advice, information would be greatly appreciated.
