Help Wanted.

After School.

Whether you’re looking for after-school childcare or a fun activity, there are several options available at the school:

  • Student Stop is a locally run organization providing daily after-school care at the school. Learn more and register your student at https://thestudentstop.org/

  • The PTC arranges several programs each season for families wanting an extracurricular activity for their student. These have previously included Rec Tennis, Yoga Playgrounds, and Play.Fit.Fun. Once confirmed, families can register directly with the provider. Details about the current offerings can be found on our After-School Activities page.
