After School Clubs 

We are excited to share that we will be offering several after-school activities sponsored through our PTSA designed to provide students with fun, engaging, and culturally enriching experiences!

Clubs will be offered during four sessions throughout the school year: Fall, Winter 1, Winter 2, and Spring. This will give students multiple opportunities to participate in different activities throughout the year. Each session we may offer different sessions. 

Please review the descriptions of our Fall clubs below and click the registration link for additional details and to sign up.

Fall Registration Timeline

• Registration Opens: Today Wednesday, September 16
• Registration Closes: Monday, September 21 at 6:00 PM
• Families Notified: Thursday, September 24

How Registration Works

Registration will follow a lottery system. After the registration window closes, families will be notified if their child has been selected for a club.

If your child is not selected, they will be placed on a waiting list, and we will do our best to prioritize students who were unable to participate when registration opens for the next session.

We are excited to provide these opportunities for our students and look forward to a fun Fall session!

Parking Lot Safety
