Winter Enrichment

It’s time for Winter Express Enrichment, which is sponsored by the KRS PTO. First and foremost, thank you for supporting this beloved program and for your general support of the PTO.

The Kings Road School PTO is excited to offer a four-week winter express session of afterschool enrichment classes. In an effort to offer something for everyone, you will see a variety of classes offered for different grade levels. Fees vary based on whether there are required materials for the class.

We also extend our thanks and praise to the KRS faculty and staff. They make the magic happen for our students and go above and beyond with providing quality enrichment opportunities.

Collectively, our school community is better and brighter because of things like enrichment programming and participation.

Upon opening, registration is a first come, first serve basis. This is an independent after school program and the school nurse will not be present on campus.

Classes begin the week of January 23rd. Classes end the week of February 13th.

Registration opens December 5th (TOMORROW) and runs until December 7th.

Please note some important information below, which is then followed by class descriptions and a master schedule.

Holiday Gifts

The PTO will be purchasing holiday gifts for all teachers, teacher aides and school staff from a portion of the PTO dues collected in September. We will also be purchasing the teachers an exciting new gift to share but shhhh it’s a secret for now.
