Activities
Winter Sports Program
Our winter sports program happens over six days in January and February. Students in grades 4-6 have an opportunity to experience all of that a Vermont winter has to offer. Fourth graders skate at Memorial Park, Fifth Graders snow shoe and cross country ski at the Brattleboro Outing Club (BOC) and Sixth graders get to ski or snowboard at Mt. Snow! Students are able to participate in this wonderful program through our local budget, as well as community support and fundraising. All 4-6 grade staff members attend and support this program in addition to volunteer chaperones.
Tutoring and Afterschool Enrichment
Tutoring and many other programs are offered to help support and enrich the lives of our Academy Stars. There are three sessions of after school programs offered per year, and they run for 6-8 weeks at a time. Shellie Doubleday, our After School Programs Coordinator, will send home information about how to sign up for these program prior to the start of each session.
After School Meal Program
Academy School participates in the Afterschool Meal Program (AMP), which means that we offer a free afterschool meal for all students who are participating in an afterschool activity at school. Programs are held three days per week, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 3:10 to 4:10. A late bus is available for students who need transportation.
The afterschool meal consists of sandwiches, fruits, vegetables and soups and includes milk or fruit juice. The meal is free of charge to all children who attend Academy School and will be offered to all students in attendance in one of our After School Programs.
