Thank you for registering for After Care with Pick Up from Local schools and/or Extracurricular Activities.

- What to Expect
- Important Policies
- Terms & Conditions
Picking Up from TNCS
After care dismissal runs from 3:45 pm–6:00 pm.
- Please pick up your child no later than your chosen pick up time. For example, if your child is enrolled in after care until 5:00 pm, you should plan to be on campus before 5:00 pm.
- Park on the street or in the school’s parking lot and pick-up at the door with the green awning. You should park in any open parking spot marked TNCS. Please use the parking spots—do not leave your car unattended in the fire lane or in spots marked for car line line drop off.
- Please drive slowly!
Report an Absence or “No Pick Up Needed”
If your child is scheduled for TNCS van pick up but will not join the van on a given day — whether they are absent from school or just not attending after care — please submit this form. This helps us keep all students safe and ensures a smooth pickup process.
Extended Pick Up & Late Fee Policy
If your regular pick-up time is 5:00 pm but you need care until 6:00 pm on a specific day, please email office@thewcenturyschool.com in advance to request an extension. Extensions are granted based on space availability, and the rate is $7.50 for an additional hour of care (with prior approval). If a child is not picked up by their scheduled pick up time without prior approval, a late fee of $25 per half hour will apply.

Cell Phone Policy
Children are not permitted to use cell phones or electronic devices while at TNCS. Unauthorized cell phone use may result in the device being taken away and safely stored. Devices will be returned at the end of the day.
Authorized Pick-ups
You can add additional authorized pick-up contacts in Transparent Classroom. Anyone picking up your child will be required to show a valid photo ID.
Behavior Policies
We use restorative practices to guide and support positive student behavior. If a child engages in severe behaviors—such as repeated physical aggression toward peers or staff, making verbal threats, refusing to follow directions, or endangering safety (including during transportation)—we will provide written documentation and may request a family conference. If these behaviors continue despite intervention, participation in the program may be discontinued.
Medications
If your child needs medication during after care (including self-administered inhalers), you are required to submit a completed Medication Authorization Form on Transparent Classroom. All medications—except certain asthma and allergy medications—must be stored in the office. Parents, guardians, or another responsible adult must bring the medication to school in the original pharmacy container, clearly labeled with: the student’s name, the medication name, the prescribing practitioner’s name, and directions for use by school staff.
Snack Policy
Children in after care receive a small snack. They are also welcome to pack snacks from home.
NO NUTS!
Absolutely no peanuts or tree nuts are allowed in TNCS due to severe student allergies.
Inclement Weather
In the event of inclement weather, TNCS will report the closures on the WBAL website. For the safety of students and staff, after care will not be available during weather-related closures.
Required Forms
You’ll submit required paperwork on Transparent Classroom.

- Do not park along the side of the north building in the fire zone, or block the Merchant’s Point rowhomes garage doors at any time, for any reason, even for a short moment of time.
