Homework and play the day away.
While the official end of each school day is 2:30 p.m., for many Jackson students that's when the fun of learning and playing just continues. These students take part in Jackson After School (JAS), an activity-based program designed in two parts:
Homework Time: Children focus on getting their homework done during JAS, so that they can enjoy family time at home in the evening. And even though children receive homework assistance by trained supervisors, one-on-one tutoring services are also available for an additional fee.
Enrichment: As a balance to studies, JAS provides a fun menu of extras including arts and crafts, physical activities, game time, free play, team sports, and social time.
Finally, healthy snacks and beverages are provided as well.
JAS is held in the cafeteria area of Jackson's Main Campus. Students who attend Jackson Primary will be bussed by APS under the supervision of a JAS teacher.
In addition, JAS has arranged to have an exciting selection of extracurricular classes offered by outside parties to Jackson students. All you have to do is sign up each quarter via sent-home applications. These classes include:
• Mad Science
• AbraKadoodle Art
• Drama
• Gymnastics
• Karate
• Ballet/Tap
• Piano/Keyboard
• Private Tutoring
• SSAT Prep Classes
Students do not have to attend JAS to participate in these extracurricular classes.
Our program is under the ownership of Kim Bishop, a former Jackson teacher. For more information, please call (404) 433-6126, email Kim directly at kim@jacksonafterschool.com, or visit www.jacksonafterschool.com.
