SD 34 has provided special funding for after school programs to be run here at Centennial Park. Qualified staff from Central Abbotsford Community School (CACS) will provide instruction and supervision. All programs will run for 8 weeks from mid-April. All programs are provided FREE of charge to our students!
Centennial Park Elementary provides supervision for 15 minutes after the bell. Any students left unattended past that time are brought to wait at the office while parents are contacted. If these youngsters were part of the Community School programs, they would then be escorted directly to their classroom areas.
Programs will include the Art Extravaganza Program, Multi Sport and Games, Babysitter Bootcamp, and Carter's Kids Homework Support. CACS will have registration forms available through our school office. Forms can be dropped off at our school office or at the CACS office.
