****An Important Note About After School Programming- please be advised that if your student is NOT actively engaged and participating in afterschool programming they are NOT able to stay inside the school, as we do not have supervision outside of the programs. Students must be actively participating and engaged in order to be in the building after school hours. If they are not participating they will be asked to head home as we do not have a means to supervise them.
Additionally, when programming is completed, please be sure that your child has a ride home or a plan for how they are heading home. We do not have supervision after hours and require students to be picked up at the end of the program time.****

Our Student Association Fee helps to cover many costs including activity days, supplies, guest speakers and other special events and initiatives. If you have any questions or are having any financial difficulty, please reach out. We are committed that no child should be disadvantaged due to financial constraints. Please speak with our school principal if you are experiencing financial hardship that limits your ability to pay school fees.
