Horizons Afterschool Program

After School Club and Spring Camp Registration
Registration closes March 2, 2023

Click here to reserve your child's place for an After School Club or Spring Camp (March 27-31, 2023)

Please note: families will receive an invoice via email to pay for camp and club registrations. There is no payment collected at registration. 
The Horizons afterschool program is open on all days Elmwood Franklin is in session and is available from dismissal until 5:45 p.m. The schedule includes activities and crafts planned by Horizons staff, Homework Lab open to students in grades 1-8, outside play or gym time, and a daily snack. Please note that Horizons ends promptly at 5:45 p.m. Please ensure you arrive to pick up your child no later than 5:45 p.m.

Parents and designated adults will pick students up from Horizons from the main entrance. Please ring the bell to enter and check out with the person at the front desk.

Horizons Early Registration
Families can sign up for the year, in advance, in September, or utilize the service as needed from day to day. Families who choose to register in advance will receive up to a 30% discount from the daily drop-in rates. Your child will also receive a 50% discount on the After School Club offerings if you choose the 5:45 pick-up option.

For families not registered for Horizons needing afterschool care, we ask that you bring a payment method for pick-up (cash, credit, or check). When you pick up your child, we will collect payment for that day.
​
Reservations
Students who are registered may use Horizons every day school is in session. If your child is not going to Horizons, please be sure your child's homeroom teacher knows they will be picked up at regular dismissal.

Families not registered who need child care for the day should send a note in with the student to the classroom teacher, email Director of Auxiliary Program Wilfred Murrett at wmurrett@elmwoodfranklin.org, or call 716-877-5035 to make arrangements. Please make sure classroom teachers are always aware of dismissal plans.

After School Club
Families can choose from a variety of fun and enriching options for their children led by EFS teachers. 
  • Each club will meet one day per week per trimester from 3:30-4:30 p.m.
  • The cost per student is $250 per club per trimester. 
  • Students can sign up for more than one club. 
  • Students registered for the 5:45 p.m. pick-up Horizons program will receive a 50% discount on all After School Club offerings. 
  • Families will receive an invoice after signing up for an offering, and payment must be received before the club starts.
