Extension Program
In our efforts to produce a well-rounded child and to encourage each student to achieve his or her full intellectual and personal potential, we have arranged a wide variety of programs to stimulate all kinds of interest. These programs are offered to any child DK-6 unless otherwise specified. In this brochure you will find descriptions of the activities and the days they meet. Classes will be rescheduled if they fall on a holiday or Faculty Workshop Day. Some classes are limited in size. If a class fails to reach an appropriate enrollment, it will be cancelled. You will be notified if this happens. Classes will meet rain or shine. To avoid problems with carpool dismissal, all Enrichment students will meet at the semi-circular lunch area behind the 4th, 5th & 6th Grade building. From 3:15-3:30 PM, snacks will be provided. At 3:30, all students will be escorted to the designated areas for their activities.
