About Junior Spartan X-tra


Junior Spartan X-tra is a program designed to offer students extended learning opportunities after school in a structured environment. Clubs will be offered Monday-Thursday from 3:25-4:25 pm. There will be no clubs on Fridays and during certain times of the year. 

A schedule and description of individual club activities is available on the school website. (see above left)

Daily club offerings can be found on the Junior Spartan X-tra bulletin board, in the daily morning announcements, and on the school website. 

Club offerings are intended to expose students to a variety of activities not necessarily offered during the school day. Some clubs will be offered all year such as "Arts and Crafts" and "Funky Fitness". Other clubs such as "Soccer" and "Green Team" are offered seasonally. New clubs are continuously being developed based on student/staff input and sponsor availability. 
For current club offerings, go to the "Schedule" link on the Jr. Spartan X-tra webpage. 

Some clubs, such as "LEGO robotics" and the "Junior Spartan Spirit Squad", require regular attendance each week. These clubs are ongoing with activities that build upon each other, so a long term commitment is needed. Other clubs are set up with day to day activities. Students may attend these clubs as they choose. 

See the club description page for individual club information and commitment requirements. 

In order to participate, students must pay a $10.00 activity fee and bring their identification badge to Jr. Spartan X-tra on the nights they attend. Students without their badges will not be allowed to stay for club activities. 

Activity fees and a student ID are NOT required for students who stay for tutoring only. 

Snacks and transportation will be provided nightly.  Students needing a ride home must sign in daily to ride the shuttle bus. The shuttle bus routes are different than normal bus routes. Call transportation to determine the stop closest to your home address. 

Students not riding the bus must be picked up in the BACK of the school by 4:30.
