After School Enrichment Classes

Winter 2010

All classes will begin the week of January 25th. Classes will meet

for eight weeks. There are some days that classes will not meet due to Faculty Development, PS/LS Conference Day, or possibly sickness of an instructor.

Pre-School classes will meet from 2:00-3:00. K3 and K4 students will be charged for any time in Extended Day from 12:00-2:00. Some parents pick up their children at 11:55 and bring them back for class. Pre-first students will not be charged for the short time between school dismissal and the beginning of their Enrichment class. Dismissal from classes is at 3:00. There is no charge for extended day from 3:00 until 3:20. You may go through the usual pickup carline or park in the parking lot and walk down for pickup. Make sure your child knows their carpool number!

Lower School and Middle School classes will meet from 3:25-4:25 and some additional classes from 4:30 until 5:30. The additional time slot may give some children an opportunity to participate after tutoring or Middle School sports practices. The students will be picked up by their instructor on the stage steps in the LS Great Hall at 3:25 or 4:30. They will be dismissed on the steps outside the Great Hall after the class. If your child needs to stay for Extended Day, please send a note to the instructor. If you are not there for pickup, your child will be placed in the Extended Day group on the playground or in the Great Hall.

We are pleased with the growth of our Enrichment program over the last few years. Every effort will be made to be responsive to the needs of your child. Please turn in your registration form ASAP so your child will get their choice of classes. You may want to indicate a second or third choice in the event the first choice class fills up. Every effort will be made to match them up! Thank you for your understanding.

Registration forms are due no later than Tuesday, January 19th. Please e-mail me with any questions.
