School Holidays

School Holidays and Breaks

You must sign-up for each Holiday you want to attend AND have a current membership and registration completed.

Overview

Holidays include Teacher Workdays, Winter Break and Spring Break among others. Holidays usually includes a field trip (weather permitting) and planned activities throughout the day. Your daughter should bring a water bottle and bagged lunch that does not require heating or refrigeration. We also recommend that she wear sneakers each day.

In order to ensure that we are adequately staffed and prepared – you must sign-up for each holiday you would like for your daughter to attend. Registration dates and deadlines are available below. Your daughter will be unable to participate if you do not complete a holiday registration form by the respective deadline for each holiday period.
