AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS
After School Care
At Bright Water we understand the need working families have for extended day care for their child(ren), and we also believe in providing our students with enriching extracurricular activities that strengthen our sense of community and deepen friendships.
To that end, Bright Water is committed to offering after school care Monday through Friday when school is in session throughout the academic school year. After school care hours are 3:15-5:15pm. Students are provided with supervised play and activities along with a wholesome and nourishing snack.
Parents are able to sign up their child for the full week, specific days, or even the occasional drop in.
Rate: $20/day or $100/week; if you intend to enroll your child in regularly occurring After School Care, a $100 deposit is required.
Please contact the Main Office to enroll your child.
After School Clubs
ULTIMATE FRISBEE CLUB
Our Ultimate club is open to 5th through 8th graders and is an excellent source of physical and mental exercise, learning integrity, and strengthening teamwork. There is no membership fee for joining the club and participating in practice; however, there will most likely be fees for when we join the DiscNW league in the spring and/or participate in tournaments.
Practices are held on Thursdays from 3:15-4:45pm at the upper playfield at Judkins Park. A Parent volunteer and former National Ultimate player and BWWS alum are coaching our club team.
