After School Programs

Kids Time (After School Enrichment Program) is ready for a fun Spring session! Spring classes start the week of March 31 and most continue for 10 weeks (excluding spring break). We are using a new platform, Homeroom, and details are below. Registration opens Monday, March 10 at 6:00 PM and is first come, first served.

There is one scholarship spot available per class. Please email McGilvra’s school counselor, Amy McCue, at asmccue@seattleschools.org for more information.

Homeroom Instructions
