Spring Enrichment and April Vacation Camp
Thanks to everyone for participating in our enrichment programs during March and April. Spring is in the air and so are our spring programs!
If you have already filled out paperwork for a previous program, there is no need to do it again. To enroll your student, please email Mrs. Woof to secure a spot for your child.
All students participating in after-school programs must enroll in their school's COVID-19 pool testing. Please contact your school nurse if you need to register your child.
All of our programs require your child's enrollment forms to be on file. Please pay program fees up front once you receive your confirmation email to finalize your child's spot.
These programs are open to all students in the district. We provide free transportation to the regional school, and parents may pick up students when the programs end at 5:30 p.m. unless otherwise noted.
