Academic Support- After School Program
SJMS is pleased to announce that we are able to offer additional academic support after school! Teachers are available to work with small groups of students in the their classrooms on Monday-Thursdays from 2:50 p.m.-3:50 p.m. Teachers may assist students with missing assignments or reteach concepts from previous lessons depending on individual students' needs. Parents may sign their students up by clicking the red bar below. Parents must be able to transport students. Busing is not available for the after school program at this time.
Students will be provided snacks at the after school program. The expectations of the students who wish to take advantage of the after school program are the same expectations that are required of students on a daily basis during the school day. It is the expectation that if a student is present in the building after school, they are attending this program unless they are under the supervision of a coach or club advisor.
Please sign your student up for the program to allow us to prepare for their needs.
