Registration for session one will close on 8/26. Registration for session two will close on 10/19. You will only be able to see classes that your child is eligible to attend based on grade.

  • Please be sure to pick up your child each day by 3:30 through the front carline. You will need to procure a car rider number if you don’t already have one. Car rider tags were given out during open house at the beginning of the school year. After two late pick-ups, your child will be asked not to return and will not receive a refund. 
  • Please email your child’s classroom teacher and the activity teacher if your transportation plans should change or if your child will be absent on the day of their activity.
  • If your child misses a session, there will not be an opportunity to make up the class. However, should a session be canceled by a teacher or due to inclement weather, activity teachers will contact you with a makeup date.    
  • There will be a supervised snack time at 2:20, so please provide a snack for your child. 
  • In an effort to avoid traffic backup, students will all be dismissed from the front carline using car rider numbers. Please make sure your child knows their car rider number. 
  • For additional information contact the specific club teacher that is in charge of each activity. You can find their individual emails on the school’s web page.

Students will participate in creative challenges that encourage them to ask questions, solve problems, develop and test solutions, and learn from both successes and mistakes. Working in small groups will help students practice communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and critical-thinking skills as they share ideas, listen to others, and work together to find solutions. Through these activities, students will build curiosity, confidence, and a lasting interest in STEM while developing valuable collaboration skills.
