For those classes that do not receive a full-time chaperone, PARENT OR GUARDIANS ARE ASKED TO CHAPERONE FOR A MINIMUM OF ONE CLASS PER SESSION PER ENROLLED CHILD. All participating parents will be sent a separate email with sign-up details.

Students who do not follow these expectations may be dropped from enrichment class(es) without refund at the discretion of the instructors and PTSA.

*Please note that all classes incur the PTSA fee of $15 per 9/10 classes that goes to the PTSA fund. The class prices listed already have the PTSA fee included.

*Need-based scholarships are available. One scholarship per child per year is allowed. Contact School Counselor, Megan Martinson (mmartinson@lwsd.org), to help us hold your spot.
