EXPLORE Enrichment Classes

EXPLORE after school classes are starting the week of January 26th! On Monday, January 12th all students that turned in an interest form will receive either a Confirmation Letter with information on what class or classes they will be in or a Waitlist Letter because the class or classes were full. We received almost 300 interest forms and did our best to make sure that every student got enrolled into a class. We can't wait to see what fun and new learning will be going on after school at Juniper!
