As a service to our community, the Wyngate PTA posts after-school activity information on both the PTA listserv and the PTA website. After-school activities are not sponsored by the school nor by the PTA and the school and the PTA are in no way responsible for coordination of these activities. Please contact the after-school activity provider directly with any questions or concerns.
Parents, please note that students participating in after-school activities will be dismissed to the Makerspace after school ends and vendors/sponsors of each activity will pick them up for after-school classes at 4:00 PM. If your child is not going to attend their after-school activity, please notify the vendor directly that day so they are aware they will not be picking up your child from the Makerspace.
