Learning Labs-Fall 2017
Time is running out to sign-up for Learning Labs (as some start as soon as October 24th), and four classes are already full! There is, however, still room to take certain classes, including but not limited to:
- MR. REX & MR. STEPHENS’ Before School Sports on Tuesdays and Fridays from 7:45-8:30 (grades 3-5) – note that if your child can only do one of the two days, discounted rates are available by contacting president@bancroftpto.org);
- Cooking with Taste Buds Kitchen on Tuesdays from 3-4 (grades K-5) – still need ONE more child to sign-up to run this class;
- Candy Making on Wednesdays from 3-4 (grades 1-5) – still need FIVE more children to sign-up to run this class:
- Strong Girls on Wednesdays from 3-4 (grades 2-5) – still need ONE more child to sign-up to run this class; and
- STEM Is Fun for Kids on Fridays from 7:45-8:30 (grades K-2) – still need TWO more children to sign-up to run this class.
Here’s the link to sign-up.
Also, we’ve gotten some questions about the pricing, so we wanted to make sure we explained the difference in prices per class. The PTO does not make any money off of these Learning Labs, and instead just serves as the liaison between the instructors, parents, and students. So, each instructor determines his or her own price (based on supplies, etc.), and then the PTO ups that fee to cover (i) the sign-up fees and (ii) the stipend for the two IAs assisting with Learning Labs this year.
As always, if you have any questions, please let Sara Wells know!
