It is time for Session 3 of our Tripp After School Program. This program is
for children in grades 1-4. It aims to expand on areas of learning that cannot

Students may register for one day up to all four days.
ATTENDANCE:
If your child is unable to attend a class, please email CHERI GIECEK at
[email protected] or send a note to school with your child excusing
your child from the class. This will ensure that your child is accounted for, as
attendance is taken at the beginning of each class. Your child’s safety is a
priority! A phone call will be made if your child is not present in class and I
have not been notified. If your child is in Girl Scouts, please email me or
write a note and let me know they will not be attending their after school
class!

your form to me at [email protected]. Registration is on a first come,
first serve basis.
