Students with excessive unexcused absences or late pick ups will not be allowed to continue to participate in the program.
Programs will begin the week of September 23rd and end the week of December 2nd (10 weeks in duration). Almost all programs will be offered again in the spring for 10 weeks, exact dates TBD. There will be a sign up coming in January for spring programming.

If you have feedback or recommendations on OST programming, or would like to assist in bringing a program to our school, please fill out this quick OST feedback form. We are subject to a decreasing OST budget; if you have any connections for free or low cost programming through CPS vendors or parent-led volunteer programs, please reach out! We would love to offer more extensive programming through tapping into the resources in our school community!
