Power Hour
Power Hour is a voluntary after-school program for students 2:30-3:30pm Monday-Thursday. We are offering some academic support and enrichment opportunities. Some courses require a sign-up (limited to 25 students who sign up in advance) and some are drop in (any student can drop in on those days without an appointment). Please use the link provided to sign-up for a specific course, if it is required. Space is limited for the sign up courses. Again, drop in courses like study hall need no appointment or sign ups. 1st Trimester Power Hour starts the week of Sept 7th and ends the week of Nov 18. Please note: ASES students may participate in Power Hour, but due to Academy student's commitment to their extended school day they are not able to participate (Power Hour occurs during Academy PE).
