We are excited to announce Session 2 of our 2023- 2024 After School Enrichment classes, starting the week of November 13.

Session 2 is open to 2nd/3rd year Primary, Kindergarten, and Lower Elementary students (unless otherwise noted.)

Classes are offered in 8-week sessions. The fee for each session is $200 per student – the Monday class will meet for only 7 weeks and the fees is adjusted accordingly. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis and must be accompanied by payment.

You may register through the mygtms.org parent module and select “Programs” or use this link ASE.

We do our best to accommodate each child’s preference, but classes can become oversubscribed. In this case, we start a waiting list. If demand warrants it and the instructor is available, additional classes may be offered.

We will notify you of which classes your child will be in and if your child is on the waiting list. Children already at school are accompanied to class by Greene Towne staff. Children coming from home may return to school at 3:00 and we’ll accompany them to the class. For questions, please contact Eileen Doyle.
