Program Catalog and Schedule
This is a tentative schedule (dependent on weather and instructor attendance).
We will be in touch with families as soon as possible if there are any changes!
The classes run each day from 2:45-4:00.
Daily Routines, Snack, and Dismissal Policies
Snack: We will provide snack for the students at each weekly session free of primary allergens such as peanuts and tree nuts. We will do our best to meet the dietary needs of each student, but if you know your child has additional needs that restrict what they are able to eat, such as braces, gluten-free, vegan, etc., we recommend that you send them in with a back up snack just in case!
Dismissal Policies: At 4:00, please park your car and walk up to the front door to pick up your child. It is important that we honor the time of our instructors and ensure that they are leaving by 4:15 pm each day. In order to do this, students MUST be picked up by 4:15 pm at the latest. We understand that unexpected things happen and there will be necessary moments of flexibility, but if late pick up becomes a consistent issue, we will enforce the following policy: families will be charged $1 for every minute past 4:15pm until their child is picked up to pay for the time and supervision of the instructor.
After School Arts History
This page is from the Claxton Elementary 1993-1994 yearbook. The caption reads:
"Begun in 1992, Claxton's Afterschool Arts Programs offer a wide variety of opportunities for students in all grades. Classes range from drama to dance, karate to math, quilting to storytelling, and many more are taught here by experts and professionals in the area. Our afterschool arts programs help make Claxton a true school of choice in the arts and humanities."

After School Arts classes may conflict with the play schedule for 4th and 5th grade students. Be sure your child knows which program they will be participating in before submitting payment.
