On-Site Afterschool Programming

Green Apple Kids @ EVCS

Our on-site program partner, Green Apple Kids (GAK) is a fee-based program that can be utilized between 1-5 days a week from 2:50 until 6:00 p.m.

The Afternoon Break Down Schedule
2:50 Pick-up at dismissal
3-3:45 Supervised outdoor free playtime
3:45-4 Transition to homerooms
4-4:20 Snack (provided, or send additional items with your child)
4:30-5:30 Project time
5:45-6 Dismissal/ Lobby

GAK offers hands-on, child-centered science- and art-based after school programming that will enhance our students understanding of their own personal bodies, their immediate environment, and the larger world that we all inhabit. This program will encourage youth to become more insightful about who they are, the gravity of their actions, and how they can make positive choices for themselves, and the Earth. Each day we will be working on student-driven projects with teacher’s guidance.

Registration is now open!
Paper Forms are available to print below from the website or pick up paper copies in the lobby at EVCS located on our information bulletin board.
Return forms via email directly to greenapplekidsny@gmail.com
or drop forms off at the main EVCS office.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

We are reminding children to wash their hands frequently and use hand sanitizer when a sink isn’t available. We have had a few extra high fevers recently and while specific classrooms may be reaching out we want to remind everyone to pay attention to take care of ourselves. In general, during this busy time of year, remember to get enough rest and drink plenty of water. Please send a labeled water bottle with your child every day. Remember – stay healthy, everyone!
