Sign Up Now! Afterschool Enrichment Winter and Spring Session (Jan 12 - May 29)
Fri, Dec 19 3:04pm

Happy holidays everyone,

Check out our great lineup of our Winter and Spring After-School Enrichment classes below. There are so many amazing choices - sign-up today!

We also want to share changes we’ve made to help improve the program:

  1. Many classes will span the rest of the school year, so you only need to sign up once and will be covered for winter and spring. There are also a few shorter class options in case you need the flexibility.

  2. We’ve reduced the number of vendors, keeping top-rated providers to help ensure quality.

  3. We’re introducing new guidelines for parents to make sure we set uniform standards for student code of conduct and parent responsibilities across all classes. Please review it here.  

Few other reminders: 

  • All vendors are required to be on campus when school is dismissed, so your children will not have a gap in supervision even if the class officially starts 10-15 minutes after the final bell. 

  • If your child is in TK or Kindergarten, they will be picked up by the vendor directly from their classroom. Older students will walk to the enrichment class on their own.  

  • If your child attends aftercare at the Walnut Acres Children’s Center, you can request that the enrichment vendor bring your child to the Children’s Center after class ends. If you have a child on the early TK schedule, the vendor can also pick up your child from the Children’s Center if you provide the Children’s Center your authorization. Please contact both the vendor and Children’s Center to let them know your preferences.
