Before & After School Enrichment
What is Before & After School Enrichment?
Our PTA partners with local providers to bring fun and engaging classes right to our school campus! Classes take place:
- Before school: 8:10–9:10 am
- After school: 4:10-5:10pm
It’s a convenient way for your child to try new activities without leaving school. Registration and tuition are managed directly through each vendor.
Note: PTA organizes these opportunities, but each vendor manages their own programs. Please review vendor policies carefully.
Registration Information
- General registration opens Monday, December 1 at 9:00 AM.
Once you’ve registered, you’ll receive a welcome email before your class begins with all the important details.
Winter enrichment classes begin the week of January 13. Sign up by January 9 —low enrollment will lead to class cancellations.
Student Drop-off and Pick-up
- Morning classes: Parents drop off and sign in with the parent chaperone. Students are dismissed at 9:05 AM to their lineup spots.
- Afternoon classes:
- Older students meet at the flagpole for pickup by a parent chaperone.
- Younger students are escorted by teachers with bus riders to the front of the school. (Please remind your child’s teacher if they are attending an after-school class.)
👉 Parents, please meet your child at the front of the school and sign out with the chaperone. Be sure to pick up promptly—our volunteer chaperones and instructors appreciate your timeliness!
Financial Support
We believe every student should have the opportunity to participate. If you need financial assistance, please contact our school counselor, Ms. Keller at kkeller@lwsd.org. Privacy will be maintained by working directly with the school counselor.
Chaperones
Become a parent chaperone! One chaperone per course receives free tuition for their child, making it a fun and rewarding way to support your child’s learning. Interested? Contact Janet at enrichment@normanrockwellpta.org.
Questions?
Email Janet at enrichment@normanrockwellpta.org.
Please note: While the school supports these programs, the school office does not coordinate them and cannot answer enrichment questions.
