Registration for the 2024/2025 school year begins Friday, July 12
Beyond the Bell Afterschool Program (BTB) seeks to provide a safe, structured, fun environment where students are surrounded & supported by trained counselors who care about them. We understand the importance of recreation for students to be their best selves, socially, emotionally, and physically.
Daily activities will include snack, homework time, games, crafts, and more. Supervised by our trained staff, participants will receive the benefits of both physical and social recreation in a safe and fun environment.
Student attendance days should remain as consistent as possible from week to week. Rotating or changing attendance schedules accommodations can be made. The Beyond the Bell program is for students in kindergarten through 5th grades that attend Lincoln Prairie Elementary School in Lake in the Hills.
If District 300 schools are closed, Beyond the Bell will NOT be held.
