PTA After School Clubs

After a successful fall, the Providence PTA has invited the following companies to offer afterschool enrichment opportunities during the Winter Session between January and March.  These programs are designed to provide a safe and engaging environment for students throughout Kindergarten to 6th grade, where they can explore and develop new skills and interests.  From yoga, pottery, programming, and soccer, there is something for everyone.  

Visit https://providence.ptboard.com/ for a list of the offerings along with the link to registration and payment of each activity. Programs start as early as January 12th, but register soon. A program may be subject to cancellation if there are an insufficient number of registered participants.  If you have any general questions about the PTA’s afterschool enrichment, please send an email to Kristina at ProvidenceESafterschool@gmail.com.

Preparing for Winter Weather 

Winter weather will be here before you know it! Watch this video to see how weather-related closing decisions are made.  

FCPS’ website is generally the first place to find out about emergency weather closings. Other communication channels will be used as quickly as possible including email, text, social media, and news stations. Learn more about how schedule changes are communicated. 

Be sure to plan for the winter season. Update your contact information in SIS ParentVUE, bookmark the FCPS website, and plan for childcare if needed.
