    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. Payment is due within 2 weeks from the first day of the session via SchoolPay.
