The Peter Kirk PTSA is excited to provide engaging after school activities located right at Kirk as soon as the school day ends! We partner with local organizations as well as Peter Kirk parents to offer opportunities for students to explore various arts, languages, STEM, sports, and more through these programs. If you have questions about the after school programs or are interested in running a parent-led class, please don't hesitate to reach out to the Kirk PTSA enrichment chairs: afterschool@PeterKirkPTSA.org.
Quick Facts:
- Sessions are typically around 10 weeks.
- A parent chaperone is required for each class to ensure there are two adults present at
all times and that students are where they are supposed to be and safe.
- Chaperones must be PTSA members and approved LWSD volunteers.
- Tuition is free for ONE student of each chaperone. If more than one adult volunteers to chaperone for a class, the waived tuition will be offered to the first person to register.
