The K-5 after school program registration continues and will be active throughout the year. First semester units are available for registration now and the first unit is set to begin Monday. Parents are free to sign up their kids anytime throughout the year for as many 2-week units as you would like your child to attend. Details of the program may be viewed here: https://www.cove.k12.or.us/article/520281
If you have already registered your child, they are in! After 1 day of registration opening, we are at approximately 50% capacity so there is still room for additional students. Contact Mr. Pettit with any questions you may have.
