Have you ever heard of 'jerry rigging' something? It means building, fixing, or making something quickly using whatever loose parts or items may be close by. (It might look messy, but it is getting the job done.) Each week we'll be messing about, learning how things work through experimentation, disassembling/reassembling, digging into a bit of research learn, and plenty of hands on tinkering. Let's figure out how certain things 'tick' in ways people don't do much anymore — from radios to engines to toasters, we're sure to have fun getting our hands dirty and learning a ton. A visit to The Bicycle Collective is also part of the plan!

You'll work together to build a team that is ready for competition this coming winter with group practices on timed problems, new learning strategies, teamwork, and more. This is not math tutorial. The collaborative mathematical thinking and problem solving in Math Counts is typically above grade level and sufficiently challenging to push students to even greater heights. If Math is your thing, this is for you!

Need a chance to get your homework done before your busy afternoon and evening activities? Students focus on their school work or silent reading in a quiet, supervised “study hall.” Sign up for one day or more, depending upon your needs.

THIS IS ONLY FOR STUDENTS ENROLLED EARLIER IN THE DAY.

Downtime follows our enrolled after school classes. It’s unstructured but supervised, which sets it apart from Homework Hall and our other activity-based classes. Students can socialize, play games, and hang out until a parent or pick-up arrives.

If your child doesn’t head out on their own (by bus, bike, on foot, carpool, or TRAX), Downtime is a great option after our other after school offerings. In the fall, we’ll primarily be outside in the north courtyard.

Our school-wide cell phone policy still applies during this time, so students should not have their phones out.

If you need your child ready to leave immediately, please text Kathleen Smith. Otherwise, they’ll watch for you to pull up. Parents are always welcome to come inside and visit.

• Open to: ALL Grades
• Cost $55 for full term (Mondays only)
• TERM TWO class begins Mon, November 2, ends Jan 11
• Hours: Begins when your child’s last class ends and runs until 5:30 pm sharp 
• Late pick-up: A $10 fee applies for every 10 minutes after 5:35 pm
