After School
Our After School programs are designed to provide children a safe, fun, and learning environment when the school day ends. We offer onsite programs at Grassy Pond Elementary, Northwest Elementary, Cherokee Charter Academy & Blacksburg Primary. During the program, we provide homework assistance, daily devotion, snack, as well as group games and fitness activities. Each program runs from school dismissal until 6:00 pm Monday through Friday.
Cherokee Charter Academy
The After School program at Cherokee Charter Academy will run from school dismissal until 6:00pm. Students will meet in a location that is soon to be determined by school administration at dismissal. During the program, our students get to utilize the multi-purpose room and the playground. When picking up your child, you will need to go to the back of the school where the car line is located.
This program will serve students in grades 4K through 6th grade.
