The Melrose Public Schools is pleased to offer after school enrichment programming beginning in the upcoming 2009-2010 school year. Each of our elementary schools will house the Education Stations program. Enrichment programming will present an array of quality activities while providing a valuable service to families. Our professional staff and programming:
• Enhances students’ recreational, intellectual, social and physical skills through a variety of participatory enrichment choices in a supportive environment. • Teaches students how to be positive, responsible and contributing community members. • Provides safe, reliable and caring supervision during non-school hours. Students will have the opportunity to engage in free play, then choose and rotate through structured stations that provide opportunities for physical exercise, team building, arts/crafts, homework, music, personal presentations from community members, games/reading, computers, drama and other enrichment activities.
Typically, free play will run from school release to 2:50 p.m., stations will run until 4:30 p.m., and the extended day programming will continue through 6:00 p.m. A nutritious snack will be provided to those students staying beyond 2:50 p.m. Register between June 2 — June 30, 2009 to secure the schedule you desire. After June 30th registration will be available as space permits. You will be contacted prior to the start of the program to confirm registration and complete other necessary paperwork, including an acknowledgement of the Student Handbook; Media Release form and; Behavior Contract and Discipline Policy.
