Extension/After School

Extension is designed to provide a positive, nurturing after school experience for your student, extending the OES Vision and Mission through our out-of-school time programs. Within our flexibly structured program, your child will experience inquiry based projects, recreational and enrichment activities, free time, and special activities such as cooking, sports, and art. For this more relaxed part of the day, children are under the watchful eye and nurturing guidance of our instructors who will foster and support independence, cooperation, and problem solving strategies in a safe and caring environment.

We strive to maintain an enthusiastic and skilled staff. Parental interaction with the staff enhances our ability to serve your child's needs and to plan our program for everyone's benefit. Parents are encouraged to share concerns, suggestions, and observations with staff, by note, by phone call, or by dropping in during a portion of Extension time. We appreciate your trust in us to provide a positive and meaningful experience for your student.

Middle School Extension provides a free drop-in after school program from 3:15–5:30p.m. Students sign-in, get a snack and are invited to explore many after-school options at no cost to families.

We provide a variety of activities, clubs and study spaces to allow students to self-select their learning environment. Many students use this time and space as an opportunity to connect with peers or get homework done before a sports commitment. 

For an additional cost, students may sign up for private music lessons (see above). 

Extension is committed to being an opportunity for students and families to connect during out of school time. Specific information about upcoming family events are listed in the weekly divisional newsletters and on the OES calendar.
