Community Engagement & Enrichment
Mohawk Trail Regional School District
Winter Enrichment
Snow is just around the corner as well as our winter enrichment programs. We have programs for middle and high school students AND for students in grades 3-6. Programs start in January and end before February vacation. A big thanks to everyone that participated in our December programs and Parent's Night Out Event. We have another Parent's Night Out coming this winter!
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. Enrollment for all programs opens December 13th.
NOTE: All students participating in after school programs need to be enrolled 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 and programs with fees need to be paid up front once you receive your confirmation email to finalize your child's spot.
These programs are open to all students in the district and transportation can be provided to the regional school for free and parents pick up when the programs end at 5:30 PM
unless otherwise noted.
