Welcome to Encore! The new after-school enrichment programming at PS 133 for Kindergarten through 5th Grade. Classes range from art, music, theater, and dance, to chess, cooking and coding... and more!

Key Winter 2025 Encore Dates
 - Registration for Winter Trimester is Open!! Register here!

Registration Details. Encore is managed by our afterschool partner, TEiAM. To participate in Encore, there is a one-time registration fee of $50 paid to TEiAM that you will need to purchase first in Sawyer, before you will be allowed to register for any classes. The registration fee is a separate transaction, and will be good for the full year. 
 
Class Timing Classes take place during 8 week trimesters throughout the year. Classes run from 3-4PM for K-2nd grade, and 4-5PM for 3rd-5th grade. If your student is enrolled in full-time afterschool on site, TEiAM will collect and return your student appropriately. If your student is not enrolled in a full time after-school program, TEiAM will have care from the end of the school day until the end of their registered class; in this case,  if your child is not picked up on time you will incur a late fee.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
 
If my child is not enrolled in another afterschool program, does Encore include care after the enrichment class? No. Encore includes only care in between school dismissal and the start of enrichment programming. 
 
What happens between school dismissal and the start of my student's Encore class? In that time, TEiAM staff will care for students registered for Encore until their class begins. For Period 2 (3rd - 5th grade/ 4PM start), these students should feel free to bring snacks, games, homework, books and activities for their time with TEiAM before their class.  
 
How do I request financial assistance? Spring Trimester 1 scholarship application is here. Note that if you register for a class to secure your spot, and then get a scholarship spot, you will not be able to receive a cash refund for the class you actually paid for. You may be able to use the scholarship towards another class. 
 
What happens if not that many kids sign up for a class? If we do not hit a critical number for a class, we will not move forward with the class. 
 
What happens if the class I registered my student for doesn't move forward?  In this case, you can either select another class at the same time, or request a refund.
 
How many students are in an Encore class? This depends on the class, but can range from 6 - 15 students. 
 
Where will the Encore classes take place? It depends on the class, but all classes will take place on site. They can take place in classrooms, the gym, cafeteria, or auditorium. 
 
Does my student need to bring any equipment to these classes, or is everything provided on site?  Nope, everything is provided on site. We do ask, though that they wear the appropriate clothes and shoes for relevant activities (e.g., Soccer).
