Greetings Hall Families! The Community Education and Extended Learning (ALC) Fall 2024 session will start on Monday. Oct 21st through Wednesday, Dec 11th. Classes are held each Monday and Wednesday from 2:05PM-5:00PM. We are excited to have you back! Please review the program schedule below. We have limited availability in our Fall sessions so please register as soon as possible if you are interested! Once I have their enrollment, I will personally talk to each scholar/parent about the class they would like to enroll into to prevent a bunch of switching on the first day. (And it's a great way to activate student voice and choice!) To view the list of classes, please see below!
