Homework Club and After School Activities
We are glad we are able to offer Homework Club for our Bears! This is a time and a space in the Library Media Center for students to study after school or after their club is finished meeting and before the activity buses come. It is not a social space. It is intended to be a study space.
Please review the following expectations with your student. Please note that students not following the expectations may not be able to participate in the future.
