After School Enrichments

after school enrichment

Early Fall 2025 enrichment season is open for enrollment!  Check out Homeroom.com for your favorites or try something new. A majority of the courses run from 3:30 - 4:30pm, with a few going until 4:50.  This season will start Monday, August 25 and end on Thursday, October 16 for a total of 8 weeks.  However, due to Labor Day 9/1, teacher planning day 9/22 and conference day 10/13, Monday courses will only have 5 classes.  Some courses will only hold 5 and end on Monday, Oct 6.  Some have chosen to have a total of 11 classes which would carry on to the next season which runs through Dec 18.  Please verify how many classes your Monday program has offered.  Slavens will have 2 early release Mondays in the Late Fall 2025 season as well.   Looking forward to another fun (after) school year!
