Welcome to the After School Program
Family well-being can be assisted when parents know their children are well cared for. The After School Program is designed to meet this need with a conveniently located, well-staffed site. The program strives to provide both indoor and outdoor recreational activities for your child.
Children will be allowed time to work on homework at parents' request, but the programs are not designed to be a tutorial service.
***Registration for 2020-2021
Due to COVID restrictions, we are limiting our numbers to 20 for
each day (20 students for M/W; 20 students for T/Th). These
spots will be filled on a first come first serve basis. Act quickly!
If you register ($25 fee), it is expected that your child regularly
attends. It is imperative that we keep the contact between
students consistent. Thank you in advance for working with us
in this matter.
