Students will meet in the cafeteria right after school. They’ll grab a free snack and head to the location of the LEAP activity.
When the program concludes at 4 p.m., students taking the activity bus will meet the bus and depart from the back of school. Students not taking the activity bus will exit from the front or back entrance.
Complete the Parent Permission Form (PDF) and have your student return it to the main office. Students can’t participate without this form on file for 2020-2021.
Students will have the opportunity to sign-up for LEAP activities in their school’s main office as they are announced. Remember, it’s expected that students attend all sessions offered for each activity. Students will sign-in each day so we can keep participate records, but we won’t monitor daily attendance – so there is no need to let us know if for some reason your student can’t make it.
Students will be held to the same conduct standards as they are during the school day. Failure to follow established rules may result in loss of participation.
Contact the main office or guidance counselor.
