Sea Cliff School Parent Community Association

The PCA will be beginning our Popular After School Classes at the start of November. This session’s classes will include a collaborative drama class, Lego, and the introduction of bridge for our older students; class descriptions can be found on the next/other side of this page.

Sign-Up Process

Registration will open the morning of Wed., Oct. 1 around 9AM and close the evening of Tues., Oct 7.

TO REGISTER YOU NEED TO:

1. Fill out an online Registration Form. Please paste the link below (also available at seacliffpca.net) into your browser and fill out a separate Registration Form for each class you are interested in for each child

AND:

2. Place a separate check for the full cost of each class in a letter-sized envelope with the words “PCA After School Program” printed on the front. We recommend you personally place this envelope in the box in Main Office labeled “PCA After School Program” to ensure it is received and your place in the class is guaranteed. The check should be made out to the Sea Cliff PCA and should have your child’s name and the class for which s/he is registering neatly written in the memo line.

(Note: Link will be active from Oct 1-7)

Spots in the classes will be given out on a first come-first serve basis based on when you have completed BOTH Steps 1 and 2 above.

During the week of Oct 14 you will receive an email letting you know if your child got a spot in the class. If you get closed out of a class, your check will be shredded. A limited number of need-based scholarships are available; you can contact Mr. Zublionis for more information prior to Oct 7.

Please make sure your child wants to be in a class before signing him/her up. The After School Program is voluntary and intended for students who are really interested in the classes. Students who lack interest or find it difficult to focus on something for an hour immediately after the school day are likely to be unhappy in the program and also may detract from the other students’ experience.

Note that we depend upon volunteers to assist the teachers. As part of the registration process, you will be asked to list all the class dates on which you (or a relative or babysitter) could volunteer. In the event that we do not have enough people to help out in a class, we may need to cancel the class. Please note that if we are short volunteers, children of parents who can provide supervision for a class will be given preference so that we can run the class.

Sign-ups will be done ONLINE between Oct. 1 and 7

Remember, your registration is not complete until you drop off a check

PCA After School Enrichment Program 

Session I Classes, 2014-2015 

Lego Creation– Grades K – 2

Lego Creation emphasizes using Legos creatively while learning the basics of architecture and engineering. Every week kids will embark on a new project that will test their building skills such as building a pyramid or racetrack or working together to build a city or a Mega Tower. Kids will expand their creativity while figuring out ways to bring their imagination to life.

Collaborative Performance with Nedra Bleifer – K – 5

Over the course of 8 weeks, students will work together to mold their individual talents (for example, poetry, gymnastics, singing, painting, dance) into a brilliant performance that conveys a unified message. We will also do simple theatre games to heighten awareness of each other and ourselves and build confidence on stage. The product of our efforts will be shared with an audience at the end of the session. Students should come to the first session knowing their own special talent. 

Lego Challenge – Grades 2-4

Lego Challenge is an advanced program that incorporates the basics of engineering, math and physics. Students will be given challenges that mimic real world problems such as the Lego Drop (surviving a fall), Weighted Bridge (holding a certain amount of weight on a bridge), and Submarine (making a Lego creation that won’t break under pressure). Students will also learn about World Record attempts with Legos to emphasize the basics of engineering.

Beginner Bridge – Grades 3 – 5

Youth throughout the country are taking up bridge. After a successful year in Glen Head, the game comes to Sea Cliff! Sign up to have fun and get smarter.

Make Shop 1.1 – Grades K – 2

Join us for hands-on engineering and science projects. Learn how to make things light up, fly up, and blow up.

Art in 3D with Ms. Giurlanda – Grades 3 – 5

Students will explore a variety of 3D art forms using wire, paper mache, clay and recycled materials.  Students will discover many sculptural techniques while enjoying the process of creating a 3D work of art.
