AFTER SCHOOL CLUBS & ACTIVITIES & LATE BUSES

There have been 2 new clubs added to our after-school program. Homework Club for 7th & 8th graders and "Power Hour" (homework support) for 5th & 6th graders. Please check the schedule below for details.


Our after-school programs have started. The Activity Card fee is $50 per student. PLEASE CLICK ON LINK My School Bucks or send in cash or check made payable to Chelmsford Public Schools and turn into your child's homeroom teacher. The activity card allows students to take full advantage of any clubs they wish to attend. The after-school activities run from 2:40-3:40 on Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday throughout the year. Students also have the option of taking a late bus home. The routes are posted in the school and will not be posted publicly. We will work with students and the drivers to be sure students take the correct bus home. Since we only have 3 late buses, the stops tend to be more spread out than the “regular” bus runs. After activities, students who are not taking a bus will exit the school into the Crooked Spring Road lot and can be picked up there. Please see the attachments below for details and descriptions
