Expanded-Year Contracts

Expanded-year contract days happen during the school year when classes are not in session, but school is not closed (e.g. spring break, conference days).

The following students are eligible to attend on expanded-year contract days: 

  • Students enrolled in the Before- and After-Care programs in their level (YCC, Primary, and Elementary). 

School will be closed for all other students; no drop-in space will be available on these days unless explicitly included in The Post, e.g., care for Primary and Elementary Post Oak children during in-person conference attendance at the Bissonnet Campus.
 

This Parent Portal/Family Handbook is not intended to create a contract. The school reserves the right to change at any time any of the policies described or privileges granted.
