Youth Enrichment
Involve your child in engaging after-school classes and activities that range from arts to technology, sports, driver's education and more!

Most classes are held after school in district buildings for elementary and middle school students and include: arts & crafts, chess, coding, engineering, game design, languages, music lessons, parent & child classes, robotics, sports of all sorts, technology, theater and more!

- Snack is provided after school; check-in at the cafeteria immediately after school.
- You must inform your child's school day teacher if your child is attending a class after school so they do not send them home on the bus.

- Students 12 years of age and younger are not permitted to walk home alone after class; students 12 years of age and older may walk home if the parent/guardian provides us with a signed permission note.
Academic Tutoring
We partner with Pam Smith Tutoring to meet the needs of ISD 279 families. We will talk with you about your child’s academic needs, personality, learning style and interests before matching them up with a tutor. Every effort is made to provide a tutor that will work well with your child to establish an effective one-on-one relationship. Most students need to bring the materials and supplies (book, worksheets, test, quiz, etc.) to each session. The tutor can also work with materials provided by the ISD 279 Teaching and Learning Department or may bring their own instructional materials as well. We tutor directly from the district’s curriculum, so students can make grade level progress in their classes. The tutor’s role and commitment are to teach your child key concepts and to help them understand the subject content.
