The Horizons afterschool program is open on all days that Elmwood Franklin is in session and is available from dismissal until 5:45 p.m. The schedule includes activities planned by Horizons staff, homework time for students in grades 1-8, and outside play, with a snack, served daily. Please note that Horizons ends promptly at 5:45 p.m. Please ensure that you arrive to pick up your child no later than 5:45 p.m.

Health and Safety During COVID
All students and staff will wear masks. The Horizons afterschool program will be held in the theatre (Lower School), gym (Prep), and dining room (Upper School). Students will be kept in their grade-level cohorts for the entirety of the program. Homework time and outside play will be scheduled, and students will be provided a prepackaged snack at 4:15 p.m. 

Pick Up Procedure
Parents and designated adults will pick up students from Horizons at the main entrance. Upon arrival, please ring the bell, and your child will be brought to you. Any parent or designated adult picking up a student from Horizons will need their unique PIN number.

Reservations may be made on a monthly or daily basis. Parents can send a note in with the student to the classroom teacher, e-mail me at slawson@elmwoodfranklin.org, or call 877-5035 to make arrangements. Please make sure classroom teachers are always aware of dismissal plans.
