We are excited to introduce our newly enhanced Extended Day Program at Hickory Creek Elementary! Designed with both flexibility and enrichment in mind, our program will continue to offer morning and afternoon care, as well as the Wednesday-only option families value. In addition, we are now offering convenient “drop-in” care for mornings, afternoons, or both to better meet the needs of our busy families.
Our Extended Day Program will now feature a structured weekly agenda aligned with school calendar events and activities happening at Hickory Creek, helping students stay connected and engaged in our school community. Each day will include a dedicated 30-minute homework time, where students will complete assignments; those without homework may enjoy reading or participating in a quiet activity.
To make each day engaging and meaningful, we are introducing themed programming throughout the week:
- Movement Mondays
- Crafty Tuesdays
- Wellness Wednesdays
- Think Tank Thursdays
- Free Fun Fridays
Each theme will include activities and lessons that promote creativity, wellness, critical thinking, and fun.
We are also proud to launch a new Mentor Program, where selected older students will work with younger peers. Mentors will support homework, play games, read together, and build positive relationships. Participating mentors may also count their time toward community service hours, if applicable.
Throughout the year, our program will host special events, including a Gratitude Food Drive in the fall and our exciting Extended Day Olympics in the spring, fostering community spirit and student involvement.
We look forward to welcoming all returning and new students to this dynamic program next year!
Monthly payments will begin July 1st, 2026

Hickory Creek Elementary requires a $75 annual enrichment participation fee for all students involved in any enrichment activity. This is a non-refundable fee that covers insurance fees for any student on campus after dismissal. The fee is waived for students who are currently enrolled in the Extended Day program. https://schoolpay.com/pay/for/ENRICHMENT-REGISTRATION-FEE—20262027/Scbjmh8
These enrichment programs are designed to provide students with opportunities to build new skills, explore passions, stay active, and connect with their peers in a fun and supportive environment. We look forward to seeing our students discover new interests and excel in these exciting offerings.
All “Afterschool Activities” are handled online through the vendors themselves. Their programs typically do not start until late August or September. Extended Day does not take payment or registration for any vendor activity.
