New Policy for After School 1/2 Day Fridays
Due to high demand, we will be limiting the number of students admitted to our 1/2 day (Fridays) program. Thank you for your understanding as we are doing our best to meet the needs of our families as well as be in compliance with state regulations.
Please see the below sign up for Friday, 10/25/19 AND Friday, 11/1/19. After School is offered on these 1/2 days 12:00 - 5:55 p.m. for $32.00. Don't forget to send a sack lunch.
First come, first served! Each sign up is per child, not per family.
WE CANNOT ACCEPT 2 CHILDREN IN ONE SLOT FOR NUMBER PURPOSES. Thank you.
Update on After School
We have successfully hired for the open position and are able to fully resume our regular protocols for drop-in attendance Monday-Friday. Pre-registration is no longer necessary.
(**Please note the new policy for 1/2 Day Fridays, as those protocols differ.)
4th grade families: We are once again able to accommodate our 4th grade students in the After School Program! We will also continue to honor the option for 4th grade students to attend Homework Club from 3:30-5:00pm if that serves your child's needs better. Please note we are unable to combine the two programs, so students cannot move between Homework Club and AfterSchool care within the same day. Please refer to the earlier email regarding Homework Club FAQs or reach out with questions.

Fall Parent/Teacher Conferences
Please see the below sign ups for the upcoming Parent/Teacher Conferences.
Please carefully review that you have the
correct grade AND the
correct teacher(s). and that you sign up for only 1 conference slot per child.
Each student is allotted one spot for conferences. T
wo household families should coordinate prior to signing up to accommodate parent/guardian needs.
Thank you.
