After-School Program 

  • Schedule for the week of 1/3
    • For your planning purposes, please note that there will be no after-school activities on these upcoming dates: 12/16, 1/13, 1/17, 2/17, 3/31.
    • Most of our clubs will remain open enrollment throughout the whole year; however, it is really important to pay attention to the schedule and attend interest meetings because if a club does have a selection process, then the club will be closed once the participants have been selected.
    • New clubs are added throughout the year - updates are posted on Schoology. 
  • Spelling Bee

    Interested in participating in this year's Spelling Bee? Practices will start after Winter Break!  Students must attend AT LEAST ONE practice to be eligible to compete in the spelling bee. Practices will be held at the following times in Room 132 –
