Extracurricular Activities
After School Activities
Due to COVID-19 protocols, we will be postponing our after school offerings for the first semester but are hopeful to resume in January. We are still offering essential activities such as reading, speech and occupational therapy. We will also be participating in cross country on the weekends with BRIAA as cross country is outdoors and a more solitary sport.
