Pre-registration for enrichment classes is required. No drop-ins. Minimum of five (5) students enrolled in a class for the class to commence. If five (5) or more students are not enrolled in a class it will be cancelled. Parents will be notified at the latest a week before class is to start.
Maximum number of students per class is noted in class descriptions. Early registration is encouraged to guarantee a place for your child.
Enrichment class/clinics snow days are the same as school. We will make every effort to make up cancelled class, but cannot guarantee a class make-up.

If a parent is consistently late in picking up his/her child, the Explorers program reserves the right to cancel the child’s registration and to prohibit the child from future participation.
The school does not provide food containing peanut or tree nut products. However, we are not able to provide a guaranteed "peanut-free" environment. To avoid serious medical problems we encourage parents of children with any food allergies to supply all snacks (food and drinks) for their children. We also strongly advise all parents not to send in any snacks that contain peanuts or tree nut-derived products.
