Intersession activities are optional activities taught by teachers and staff who want to explore an arts or science topic in more depth. These fee-based activities often combine grade levels for a fun learning experience. Students who choose not to register for an intersession activity have that time off school.

Intersession 2025 takes place Monday, May 12 through Thursday, May 15 from 8:00 am – 3:00 pm.

Busing is not available during intersession and school lunch is not served either, as these days are not regular school days. Students will need to pack a lunch every day.

Intersession registration opens on Wednesday, April 2 and closes on Wednesday, April 16.

Families are expected to read the intersession handbook before registering. 

2025 Intersession Program Handbook

To register for Intersession activities, use the Infinite Campus School Store. 

Instructions for Activity Registration

Intersession fees are due at the time of registration. Options are solidified and staff are hired based on student enrollment. The fees collected are allocated toward materials, supplies, etc. and it is not typically possible to provide any sort of refund due to student absence or cancellation.

If an intersession activity becomes full, it will no longer be available to purchase within the school store. To join the waitlist for an activity, contact Julie Kresh.
