Updates for Parents and Participants
Before and After School Clubs for Grades 6-8
About ACCESS: Thanks to a 21st Century Community Learning Center grant, funded through the New Hampshire Department of Education, we are able to offer an exciting array of activities for youth in grades K-8 before and after school hours.
The ACCESS Program offers youth the opportunity to participate in healthy, educational and fun programs with their friends. Programs in the elementary school are offered from 6:30 to 8:30 A.M. and 3:00 to 6:00 P.M., every day that school is in session. At the middle school, there may be seasonal before-school programs such as "A.M. Hoops". The afternoon program is from 3:00 to 6:00 P.M. on Monday through Thursday, and 3:00 to 5:00 P.M. on Fridays. Home-schooled children, and those attending private schools, are also welcome to register for ACCESS. Please note that for both the elementary school and the middle school programs, parents and guardians are required to sign out their children at the end of the day. To insure safety, we cannot release students who have not been signed out.
Pre-registration is required. This enables us to hire teachers and support staff, schedule transportation, and plan snacks, etc.
A sliding scale fee schedule is in place to insure that ACCESS becomes a permanent program in the schools, continuing long after the 21st Century grant runs out. Rates are based on free and reduced lunch guidelines. We want every child to have the opportunity to attend ACCESS and have tried very hard to make the program affordable for all. Scholarships are available.
More than 40 different activities are offered, ranging from martial arts, theater, and small engines, to woodworking and 4-H master gardeners! There is something for everyone!
Classes are not held on days school is closed, such as holidays, or on snow days. School vacation programs, if offered, are announced well in advance.
