What are Winn Brook PTA Extracurriculars? 

Beyond the school day, this program provides an opportunity for Winn Brook students of all grades and interests to enjoy low-key, non-graded classes across a wide range of topics including sports, nature, art, computing, movement, theater, science and more. We are fortunate to have the talents of Winn Brook teachers as instructors, as well as specialists from professional organizations and independent artists.

When are Extracurriculars offered?

The PTA Extracurricular Committee typically coordinates three sessions per year (fall, winter, spring) with each session lasting 6 weeks.  During each session, some classes are held in the morning, usually 7:35-8:35am. The majority take place right after school, so 2:50-3:50pm most days and earlier on Wednesdays given the fluctuating schedule. 

How do I sign up?

All registrations take place online at www.hisawyer.com/winn-brook-pta/schedules.  It is a first-come, first-served system, and some classes fill up within minutes of registration opening, so you are encouraged to sign up early!  Each family must create their own account on Sawyer to get started, and payments are only accepted via credit card.

What are the costs?

Classes typically range from $100-$200, depending on the content and provider.  All proceeds from these classes support the Winn Brook PTA. 

How does my child get to class?  And how are they dismissed?

• For morning classes, students enter through the gym doors near the Joey's park parking lot. For morning classes held in other parts of the building, children enter via the school’s main doors on Waterhouse Rd and can walk themselves to the class location.  For younger students, PTA hired monitors will help ensure students get to their class location. Students are then dismissed in time to begin the school day with their classmates.   

• For afternoon classes, students in Grades 1-3 walk themselves to the class location, while K students are escorted by PTA Extracurricular monitors.  At the end of class, students in the WBExL program are brought to that location by their Extracurricular instructor.  Students being picked up as well as those 3rd graders allowed to walk home (with permission) are brought to and then dismissed via the  main doors on Waterhouse Rd. Each day there are two Extracurricular monitors who manage this dismissal process and are present throughout the afternoon classes.

Can my child attend WBExL AND Extracurriculars?

Yes, and many do!  Please note however that these are two separate programs and there is no cost-sharing.  Students enrolled in WBExL pay the same fees as other students for Extracurriculars, and do not receive a discount from the WBExL program.
