WHAT ARE WEDNESDAY AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMS?
Wednesday After School programs are offered for students in grades 1-5. We are not able to host after-school programs for TK and Kinder as they are released earlier and we simply don't have the space to host!
Wednesdays are "early dismissal days" at Hicks - and these programs offer families a chance to try a new skill or sport, while extending the school day!
ALL classes start at 1:30 PM (right after grades 1-5 dismissal) and end at 2:35 PM.
Sessions are hosted 4x/year. Each session is 9 classes - except for session 1 (8 classes).
Registration and class dates for each session are listed below.
Some classes WILL sell out - please register as soon as registration opens for the session to avoid disappointment! Late adds will absolutely NOT be accepted.
Class offerings vary each session. We do have some classes that are offered in all 4 sessions (including the Art class, Chess and Basketball) - but some classes are only hosted for 1 or 2 sessions. If you see something you want to try in this session - be sure to register early once registration opens - classes DO sell out!
Contact programs@hickscanyon.org with any questions.
