After School
The After School model offers homework time every day with flexibility and fun in the options afterwards.
Lab School’s After School program is comprised of two parts this school year:
- After School and After School Plus
Students in both programs will spend the first 45 minutes of the After School program having a snack and completing homework. After this, students who are part of After School will join Katy Bose, After School Supervisor, in a free choice activity such as playing on the playground, playing board games, arts based activities, or another less structured activity.
Students who are part of After School Plus will join that day’s class (see schedule and descriptions below) which will run from 4:15PM to 5:15PM Monday through Thursday. On Fridays, there will be no After School Plus - all students will gather together to watch a movie.
