If your child is not feeling well or someone in your house has COVID-19 symptoms, please keep your child home. If there is someone who is vulnerable to COVID-19 in your household (for instance a senior citizen or someone whose immune system is compromised), then it may not make sense for your child to participate in our in-person program .​​
​
If you participated in LEAP's after-school program in Fall 2023 you do not need to submit a new application. Please let your Site Coordinator know that your child will be returning in the Spring. Please only submit another application if you have new or updated personal information.
All applications should be submitted by Thursday, January 26th 2024. Applications submitted after this date will not be considered until the first week of programming begins.
