Safe Passages (2025/26)
We are excited to open the After School Program enrollment form for the 25-26 school year! Please submit the enrollment application to Margy Salguera (CSM) at the Emerson front office.
Safe Passages afterschool program welcomes all students and encourages participation from scholars receiving Special Education services. Enrollment is based on available capacity and our ability to provide appropriate support.
To help us determine how we can best support your child, we ask that families of scholars with an Individualized Education Program (IEP) include a copy with their application, if possible. This allows our team to review support needs and ensure we are able to provide a safe and enriching environment for every participant.
