LÉMAN PLUS AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAM 2016-2017 General Information

Each day after school, students may participate in Léman Plus (L+). Open to students in PK4-5th grade, L+ offers a wide range of classes in various areas of interest: visual arts, music and other performing arts, cooking, STEM, sports, and more. We would like to provide some basic information to help you plan for the school year. Enrollment must be done online at lemanafterschool.com

THE LÉMAN PLUS DAILY SCHEDULE

At the end of each school day, children attending L+ are escorted to afterschool by teachers. They will be given a snack, assemble with their L+ teachers, and then proceed to their L+ classrooms.

Each L+ day consists of two sessions, “A” (3:25-4:15 pm) and “B” (4:25-5:15 pm)*. Students may sign up for both Session A and B or only Session A each weekday (PK4 can only enroll for Session A). Students can take as few as 1 class per week, as many as 10, or anything in between! Each semester, students’ L+ schedules change. You must re-enroll, even if you want the same classes each semester.

*PLEASE NOTE: Students in Session B classes are offered optional extended care until 5:45 pm, if needed, for no fee. Please inform Steve Levin if you will be using this service. Note that there is no extended care on Fridays.

As a service to Léman families, we offer 2nd-4th Grade Homework Club on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 3:15-4:00 pm. Students can enroll for a maximum of two days for 2015-16. This is a no-fee L+ class, and participants must enroll through L+ even though there is no charge, as we need to ensure proper attendance and staffing. Space is limited, so drop-in students will not be accommodated. There will be guidelines for students to follow to ensure that this time is valuable for all. Students much be picked up from Homework Club by 4 pm. Homework Club participants also enrolled for a Session B class will be escorted to their Session B class.

AFTERSCHOOL OPTIONS FOR 5th Graders

Fifth graders can enroll for many Léman + classes. There are also athletic team and Study Hall options for them, and you will receive information about this separately.

L+ DISMISSAL

Following Session A (at 4:15 pm) L+ students will be brought to the 4th Floor Common Area**. From there we will dismiss children who are only signed up for Session A. Please sign out with the child’s L+ class teacher. Those students also taking a Session B class will travel to their Session B L+ room with their teacher.

**NOTE: Some 4:15 pm pick ups will be directly from their L+ classroom (ex: Cooking dismisses from the Café). You will be notified if your child’s L+ class dismisses from somewhere other than the 4th Floor.

Following Session B (at 5:15 pm), all students assemble in the 4th Floor Common Area for dismissal. All parents / caregivers must sign out with a staff member.
