Shalom,

We believe that how we use our time with your student(s) is one of the most important decisions we can make!

Afterschool Programming at HLA

HLA's After The Bell Program is open to all students. The application for After the Bell is available here.

Programming Description:

After the Bell aims to enrich students through homework help and tutoring, projects, social time with peers and gym time.

When/Where:

Monday-Thursday from 3:30-5:30 at HLA

Offered to Students in Grades K-5

Cost:

Families do not have to pay for this program. There is a cap of 26 per grade, so the program will be strictly "first come first serve". If we receive more than 26 students sign up per grade we will offer afterschool seats through a lottery.

Clubs for students in grades 6-8 will open in October, and more information will be shared soon.

For more information, contact Daniella Steinberg at dsteinberg@hlacharterschool.org.

As always if you have any questions, please contact us:
