After-School Specifics
- The After-School Program is divided up into three sessions. Students are not permitted to leave school grounds before or between sessions and then return to school.
- Session 1: 2:25-3:20 (academics, homework, enrichment activities, academically based clubs/activities)
- Session 2: 3:25-4:20 (sports, art, gaming, etc. clubs/activities)
- Session 3: 4:25-5:00 (intramurals, homework, socializing, dismissal)
- There is currently no fee for the after-school program.
- Most clubs are open enrollment and do not require a pre-registration.
- All students are required to sign in to the after-school attendance program at the start of each session
- Discuss your child’s after-school plans every morning to prevent any confusion in the afternoon.
- Students should make arrangements before the end of the school day to stay after with a specific teacher. This will ensure that the teacher will be available.
- Encourage your student to get involved in as many activities as possible. After-school is a great time to get extra academic help and/or enrichment, make new friends, complete homework, etc.
- Every student must submit the online After-School Registration google form, which will be posted on the Thoreau Schoology page under After-School in September.
