Welcome to our website for After School Programs! Here you will find general information, the course catalog, registration form, schedules, and flyers.
August 23, 2025 - Session 1 starts on Monday, Aug. 25. Please make sure your child knows their after school schedule. Grade K -1 students will be escorted to their program by a teacher; Grade 2-5 students will report to their program on their own. Students in A+ must check in with them first before heading to their program. Pick up will be a drive-by fronting the office. You may park your car in a marked stall and wait for your child in the breezeway by the front office; please do not go to the classroom to wait.
After school programs (ASP) provide enrichment and extracurricular opportunities for our students. We have a combination of classes offered: classes provided through the school and classes provided by outside vendors for a small charge. A lottery will be held for classes offered through the school. Outside vendors’ classes are on a first-come-first-serve basis.
Important note: After school tutoring takes precedence over extracurricular programs. Your child’s teacher will be in touch with you if this is the case. If your child is in tutoring and wants to participate in programs provided by outside vendors, sign up only if there isn’t a scheduling conflict.
Please consider your schedule as well as your child's schedule before submitting a registration form. For your child to be most successful in an after school program, he/she is expected to attend all sessions, be on time, in class for the whole session, and picked up on time if not in A+.
We would like to make you aware of situations that are grounds for removal from any class. We will make every effort to work with you and your child before we take this drastic step.

*A note about After School Programs Lottery - Starting in Session 2, we will try our very best to place students who were waitlisted for the previous session and who sign up for the new session. But please know that priority does not guarantee a placement as classes are contingent upon the amount of spaces we have available.
