After-School Enrichment
Santa Catalina Lower and Middle School's After-School Enrichment program includes a variety of activities, including partnerships with local organizations. Students build practical skills, gain confidence, and explore their interests while having fun in safe, supportive environments. After-school care begins at the end of class, from 3:20 to 4:00 p.m., with a snack and free play time. After-School Enrichment classes run from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. across campus.

Study Buddies and Catalina After-School Library
Our After-School Enrichment Program provides after-school care and homework help through Study Buddies (PreK-Grade 3) and CASL (Catalina After-School Library, Grades 4-8). Study Buddies and CASL are facilitated by our after-school enrichment team, which includes Director Sulema Martinus and four to six staff members.
Drop-In Care
We understand that some families may need occasional after-school support. We offer drop-in care in Study Buddies and CASL to support this need.
- Drop-ins are $30.00 per day and must be purchased in packages of five ($150.00) or 10 ($300.00) days.
- These drop-ins can be used within one school year and will not roll over into a new school year.
- Drop-ins are limited to 10 students per program per day (e.g. 10 students in Study Buddies and 10 students in CASL each day) to ensure we have adequate staff support.
- Spots are filled on a first come, first served basis, so please contact the after-school office at afterschool@santacatalina.org no later than 10:00 a.m. the day of drop-in to ensure your student's space.
- Drop-ins can be scheduled ahead of time, which we highly recommend.
- To purchase a package(s) please follow the registration link at the bottom of this page to create a Procare account.
Payment Policy

All adjustments to student schedules for after-school enrichment must be made before January 12. We make exceptions for changes related to school sports and tutoring schedules; however, these exceptions do not apply to outside sports, tutoring, extracurriculars, or events. All cancellations made after January 12 will not be refunded.
All students must be picked up promptly at 5:30 p.m. A $20.00 fee will be charged to the student’s account for every day they are not signed out by a pre-approved adult by 5:30 p.m.
If your student attends Study Buddies or CASL on a day when they are not scheduled to attend the program, a $40.00 charge will be added to their account for the service.
