Aftercare (MS) FAQs

Aftercare’s home base is in the MS computer lab immediately to the right of Erin Ryan’s office. Students meet the MS Aftercare staff there everyday after school or sports dismissal. While Aftercare is often around the MS building, outside, or at sports games, either Lindsay Kellogg or Corey Lyman is always accessible near the computer lab and can direct you to your child. 

MS Aftercare starts immediately after school and goes until 6:30 pm. If you know that you will be unable to pick up your child before 6:30, please make sure to communicate through phone or e-mail (see next question, below).

During the day, e-mail lindsay.kellogg@ssfs.org, or you can call the Aftercare phone after 3:10 pm at 301-774-7455 x230. If you have questions that need to be answered immediately during the day, call Erin Ryan’s desk at 301-774-7455 x160.

There are two carpools after school: the first ends at 3:55, and the carpool for students in sports/electives ends at 4:25. If you know that you will be unable to make it by the end of carpool, please call Aftercare to let us know. The number is 301-774-7455 x230. If you are unable to reach us, or make it later than expected, your student will have been brought from carpool to Aftercare. Please communicate with either Lindsay Kellogg or Corey Lyman before picking up your child so we know that their ride has arrived and they are headed home. We can be found in the computer lab. 

Any student who is on campus after school without a parent or guardian should check in to Aftercare. If you know that your child will need to be in Aftercare one day, please try to contact us so we know to expect them. Drop-ins are encouraged when there is a change of plans to a child’s schedule.
