Activities

All elementary schools conduct student groups (clubs) that meet outside of the regular school day. Groups are formed in several ways.  

• Teachers can lead student groups that are directly related to curriculum such as a math club. Other student leadership opportunities also exist such as Safety Patrol.
   
• Students can initiate a student group based on their interests, such as a debate and public speaking club. Student initiated groups are developed through an application process in October and require a teacher monitor.
   
• Many schools also offer activities through outside tuition-based vendors such as Sponge Language School.
   
• Finally, PTSAs can choose to form student groups. PTSA and outside vendors use the Facilities Use Process to acquire space for the student group to meet.

Schools may announce student groups through weekly bulletins, teachers’ newsletters and/or in school morning announcements. Families can find out about other student groups in Peachjar.
