Extending learning beyond school hours

In addition to our After-School Program, TDS has expanded enrichment options for those students interested in extending their learning beyond school hours.

Students enrolled in a club or extracurricular activity meet their instructor directly after school and have time for a snack before their program begins. After the activity ends, students can be picked up or transition to After-School Program care.

Meetings run from 3:15-4:15 PM and are organized by grade levels to ensure activities are age-appropriate and engaging. Most clubs and extracurriculars meet once a week for ten weeks (with exceptions for programs associated with outside organizations).
