All others will be placed on a waiting list. If your child receives a spot in our Before/After School program, you will be contacted by the director, Jessica Martin, to discuss registration. Students must register before they attend the program. The registration fee is $25.00 per child. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our Before/After School Program Director.
