families new to Jeffrey, these are opportunities for students to participate in a variety of extra-curricular activities before

to the PTO to support Jeffrey School.
PLEASE READ BELOW FOR DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO REGISTER YOUR STUDENT(S):
• For the 2024-2025 school year, most workshops will run for five weeks (except "Cool-Ology" and "Painting with the Masters"). This a change from previous years and is why the cost per session has increased from last year (where sessions were 4 weeks).

• Please note the dates in Sign Up Genius for the different workshops, as some weeks are skipped/day changed due to a
school holiday. If a session is cancelled due to a teacher absence or other reason, a makeup session will be scheduled.
