Enrichment Program

The Enrichment classes provide an opportunity for students to develop skills and interests in a variety of areas. Enrollment in after-school Enrichment classes are offered to all Hammond students in grades Pre-K through 6th. The 2012-2013 Enrichment Class Registration Form is located under the Enrichment Program tab on the left. Please complete one Enrichment Class Registration Form per student. Enrichment classes will be offered to only Pre-K students from 2:00–2:45 PM each day.

Dismissal Procedures

At the end of each class the Enrichment Class Instructor will ensure that the students staying in the Extended Day Program return to their designated area or classroom. The Enrichment Class Instructors teaching classes at the Lower School will escort the students that are not staying in the Extended Day Program to the Lower School Fitness Center to meet with the Director of Extended Day. Enrichment Class Instructors that are teaching classes at the Middle School will escort the students that are not staying in the Extended Day Program to their designated classroom or area to meet with a Middle School Extended Day staff member.

Enrichment Attendance

If your child is registered in an Enrichment class and will not be present, you must notify the Director of Extended Day before noon by email or calling his office to inform him of your child’s absence for that day. It is imperative that this procedure is followed so that we may ensure your child’s safety. Please note that students will not be able to make-up any missed Enrichment class(es).

Cancellation of Enrichment Classes

Hammond reserves the right to cancel any class for which there is not adequate enrollment. Hammond will cancel a class 1 week in advance if numbers are insufficient.
