SLArts After School UPDATES

 
TERM 3 clubs and classes are underway, but we do have room in a few classes. Two classes require just a few more students to run. Many are full and have closed. Here are the latest updates: 
 
  • On Mondays, CREATIVE MOVEMENT EXPLORATIONS with Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company needs an additional 2 or 3 dancers in order to move forward for the rest of the term.
  • ESCAPE ROOMS & ADVENTURE GAMES needs a few more courageous, quick-witted sleuths for codebreaking, strategizing, puzzles, and brain games of all kinds. Another 3 or 4 detectives would be ideal!
  • On both Monday and Wednesday of this coming week ~ February 2 & 4, the top ten students of our school wide MathCounts competition, will be able to work together to prepare for the regional/chapter competition on Saturday. Following the competition, we may have the opportunity for a Math-letes club later in the winter/spring.
  • German Language & Culture with University of Utah German students is a unique program we have for kids who are ready to expand their horizons. 
  • Chess Club, Bowling League, Drama Club, Skating with Skeet, Rad-Geekery Film-Making, Girls Who Code, Flag Football, Intro to D&D, SLArts News and more .... are still open for interested students for a limited time
  • Full/Closed ~ the Art of Creating Cool Clothes, Robotics, Music Collective, Dungeons & Dragons (on Fridays), Up-Cycled Finds Fabrics & Fun, Cozy Anime Afternoons, Accessories Design, TeensRun SLC, and MathCounts Comp Team.

 

WHAT WE DO:  The Salt Lake Arts Academy offers a robust, enriching, and just plain FUN After School program with over 30 clubs & classes running each week! We have so much to choose from, the hardest part will be picking out which thing to do. We're thrilled you'll be joining us this year!

 

OUR ROUTINE:  At the end of the school day (3:00 pm M-TH, or 12:35 pm FRI), students head to the north field where they hop in line to CHECK-IN, choose a snack, and hang out in the courtyard until our teachers & instructors come outside to gather their groups. Sessions typically run from 3:15 to 4:15 pm, with some lasting up to 5:15 pm. Please make a note of the ending time of your child's enrolled class(es); While most are only an hour, plenty of them are 75 min, 90 min, or up to two hours.

 

We also offer an Extended Day option for later pickups, Monday to Thursday, ending at 5:30 pm. Please note that students must be enrolled in a class or club for at least one hour before joining Extended Day. Once a class ends (at 4:15, 4:30, etc.) we meet outside for free time until rides arrive for pick-up. On Fridays, classes run for two hours and end at 3:00 pm, with no extensions after 3:00 pm.

 

IMPORTANT REMINDERS:

  • For safety, all after school students are expected to remain on school grounds from the end of the school day at 3:00 pm to the time when their after school class begins at 3:15 pm. ~ If a student leaves the premises during the transition time between school and the after school program, parents will be notified if this expectation gets ignored or repeated. We appreciate your understanding as we ensure the safety and supervision of all students.
  • While this is a fee-based program, we do offer financial assistance & scholarships for eligible families. PDF forms are attached below.
  • There is  NO Extended Day after 3:00 pm on Friday
  • Please be aware of our discipline policy on the Dismissal / Pick-Up Policy page. 
  • Your receipt for any registered after school class is sent in an email from CORE Payment Systems at the time of registration. This is your confirmation of enrollment.
  • Please contact Kathleen Smith, After School Coordinator regarding all SCHOLARSHIP ENROLLMENTS, any questions, or specific needs, [email protected]
