Classes range from art, music, theater, and dance, to chess, cooking and coding... and more!

Key  Fall 2024 Encore Dates
 - September 6th - 27th: Encore Registration via Sawyer
 - October 10th - Encore classes start 
 
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. Please pay attention to the time you are registering for, some of the classes say the full range K-5th grade on the website, but all are split K-2 (3-4PM) and 3rd - 5th (4-5PM)
 
Sign up! Registration for the Fall 2024 is open and will run through September 27. By Sept 26th we will be able to confirm if the classes will go ahead due to enrollment. If there are not enough children to run the class, it will be cancelled and parents will be informed and refunds given.

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. 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? Please complete the form here and we will do our best to accommodate your request. 
 
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). 
 
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. We will know this by the end of registration, September 27th.
