Before School Enrichments – Monday through Thursday from 8:15 – 9:00am
Spring Enrichments will run Monday, February 27th through Thursday, May 18th.
McAuliffe is pleased to be offering a number of before school enrichments from 8:15-9:00am Monday through Thursday. All enrichments are free of charge but parents/guardians MUST sign up their student prior to a student attending a class. Attendance will not be taken in enrichments but enrollment is still required so that we may plan for appropriate staffing, space, and supplies. Students may choose to attend an enrichment every day they are offered (Monday – Thursday) or just sign-up for a specific day or class. Enrichment offerings will change every trimester. All students signed up for an enrichment will enter through the main doors on Holly St.
To sign-up your student for any of the enrichments below please click here. If the Enrichment you are interested in is not available on the drop-down box, that Enrichment is FULL.
