Extended Day Options
We collaborate with different extended day programs that offer a variety of scheduling options. These options complement the school day at RPNS and create a full day for your child. Children are brought directly to or from RPNS by the instructors of the extended day program. To sign up for these independent programs, please contact them directly.
Lunch Bunch
The Lunch Bunch extended day program creates a full day on-site at RPNS for our morning students. Children enrolled in our morning classes are eligible to register for the Afternoon Lunch Bunch Program. The Lunch Bunch program takes place in RPNS classrooms and runs the entire school year from September through June. Children enrolled in Lunch Bunch will have a supervised lunchtime from 11:15am-12:00pm. Children bring a packed lunch from home. The afternoon class runs from 12:00pm-2:15pm. The Lunch Bunch program provides a warm, caring environment for students to extend their day with fun, interesting projects and enrichment activities designed to reinforce skills and knowledge learned in class. The goal is to develop strong interpersonal skills between students while bolstering self-confidence and an awareness of the world around them.
