Frequently Asked Questions
When and where are the classes?
Afterschool Cornucopia offers 1‐hour classes, after school, on campus at Linwood Howe. Our classes meet from 3:20–4:20pm most days. On Wednesdays and other special early dismissal days, our classes meet from 1:50–2:50pm. We supervise students during the 10 minutes between school dismissal and the start of our classes.
Is the program seasonal?
We offer classes throughout the school year. Our program is divided into 3 terms, roughly corresponding to the seasons of fall, winter, and spring. Our fall term typically runs from the 2nd week of school until winter break (usually August–December). Our winter term runs between winter break and spring break (usually January–March). Our spring term runs after spring break through the end of the school year (usually April–June).
Do the classes meet when school has early dismissal?
Yes. On Wednesdays our classes meet from 1:50–2:50pm. On special early dismissal days, such as those scheduled for parent–teacher conferences, most of our classes meet from 1:50–2:50pm, just like Wednesdays.
Do you offer aftercare past 4:20pm (or 2:50pm on Wednesdays)?
No, other than one exception*, all of our classes finish at 4:20pm every day except Wednesdays, when we finish at 2:50pm. If you need childcare past 2:55pm on Wednesdays or 4:25pm on other days, we recommend one of the other afterschool care programs offered at Lin Howe. If you sign up for both our classes and another aftercare program, your child can attend our classes, then go to their other aftercare program when our classes end. Please check Lin Howe’s website for information about available aftercare programs. *Our Engineering with Legos class is a 90-minute class, ending at 3:20pm on Wednesdays
Do classes fill up?
Typically, some of our classes fill up, but most don’t.
How do TK and kindergarten students get to the classes?
When school dismisses, our staff pick up younger students from their teacher and we walk them over to our classes.
