After School Activities

Each semester, we hold a few after school activities, such as Soccer Shots and STEM club, that vary throughout the year. They are normally split by age group, so the information and activities will be better suited to their ages. Schola is held all year long after school, and Drama is held for a few months from late-fall to early-spring. Flyers will be sent home and information will be in the weekly letter about upcoming events. The after school Waiver form must be completed each year, and can be found below.
