WINTER 2019
The Foundation is excited to share with you the 2020 Winter Enrichment offerings!
This winter, we are offering one longer session (8 weeks) and more classes (3-4 options per day), most of which are run by our own EFS faculty members. We continue to offer online payments through Mobilearq.
Morning classes are held from 7:30-8:25am; afternoon classes begin immediately after school, from 3:05pm-4:25pm. All classes are held on school premises. If your child attends after-care, they will be taken after their enrichment class to Tiny Treasures, where they can commence after-care from 4:25pm. If children are picked up late (after 4:35pm), a late charge of $10 per child is applied.
Please note: children must only be signed up for classes offered for their specific grade.
DEADLINE FOR WINTER REGISTRATION: SUNDAY, JANUARY 5, 2020
Spaces are limited. Registration is on a first-come, first-serve basis, and a number of classes get sold out quickly.
School Musical: If your child is in Grades 4-6, and plans to be involved in the school play, please keep in mind that rehearsals will take place on Wednesday’s and Thursday’s during this time, so you may want to hold off registering them for these days.
If you have any questions, please reach out to efsenrichment@gmail.com.
