What are Specialties classes?
A variety of fee-based after-school classes called "Specialties" are offered to ALL students during 3-twelve-week sessions throughout the school year. Your child does not have to be enrolled in the After-School Care program to participate!
Specialty classes meet twice a week, either M/W or T/Th. Students in grades K-2 may select Specialties during 3:00-4:15 pm. Students in grades 3-5 may select classes from 3:00-4:15 pm and/or 4:15-5:30 pm. Sign-up occurs just before each session begins. Registration is first-come, first-serve only.
Specialties change during the school year and vary by grade level. Cost is $325 for students not enrolled in the Roberts After School Care program and $75 for those already in ASC.
