ASA- After School Activities Trimester 1

If your child has signed up for an activity with a fee, all students must pay next week. Pay directly to the instructors and they will give you a receipt. There are many students who have not paid for their ASA activities.

Once again, please encourage your child to commit to the activity for the whole trimester.

Snorkeling: If students have their own equipment, they can bring it to classes on Thursdays.
