Parents, you will notice a slight increase in fees for Enrichment Camps this year. Because of the ending of the initial grant providing funds for our Intersession camps, the district has increased fees to cover the costs to staff the camps and provide student materials.

Parent drop-off and parent pick-up is requested for enrichment learning opportunities.
Please only register your child for ONE enrichment experience per week.
