On-Site Questions

Before each session begins, teachers will receive a list of their students who are participating in enrichment programs. For afternoon classes, teachers will walk Kindergarten students to the programs arrival location (cafeteria) for enrichment programs. 1st-5th graders will walk to the cafeteria on their own. We ask teachers to remind all of their students participating.
Parents should arrive to the classroom location to pick up and sign out their child. Program instructors will then walk Rec center students to their location. For more information, please visit the "Policies & Procedures" tab.
Unfortunately, there will no longer be an ACPS activities bus or Baroody van following after school enrichment programs. If your child needs transportation in order to participate, please us at [email protected] to discuss.
Pick up time is at 3:45pm. If you anticipate being late to pick up your child, please call your On-Site Coordinator. Late pick ups will be in the lobby.
If your child will be absent from after school classes, we ask that you notify us at [email protected]. Please indicate your school, child's name and class.
