4. Attendance:
It is VERY important that we know when your child will not be attending their ASA. When students are absent from school we already have a record that they will not be at their ASA and you do not need to inform us. However, if you have another appointment or your child cannot attend for any other reason, PLEASE let us know. You can send a note with your child directed to the ES secretary or their home room teacher or you can call Luci Kvaternik at 0699-140 132 66 or Karin Hackl at 0699-140 132 59

If your child participates in a late scheduled ASA your child must leave the school premises and return for the start of their activity. No child can be unsupervised on campus.
6. Cancelled Classes:
If an instructor has to cancel an ASA for any reason, you will be informed as soon as possible. A make-up class will be arranged or a refund will be given.
7. Pick Up from ASA’s:
It is important to note you must pick your child up immediately after the ASA ends from the room where the activity is being held. If you are late to pick up your child, the instructor will call you and establish the situation. Your child will be taken to the guard at the main school entrance. We have put in place a “3 strike” rule for late pickups. If instructors have to call and/or wait three times for the pickup of your child, then said child may be removed from ASA’s.

Chess has plenty of educational benefits. Children learn to concentrate and be patient, to think before they take decisions, to feel responsible for their actions, to consider the other side´s possibilities, and to learn from mistakes. This course is built on the "Step Method", which has been developed in the Netherlands specifically for children. Simple games and chess puzzles prepare the children to not only master the rules but also to see captures, checks and checkmates at once. If you fully master the rules, have played chess occasionally and want to improve, or if you just want to learn the rules of the game.
This course is for beginners and for advanced players and will teach you the most important tactical motives and basic winning strategies in a fun way. For the younger group there is a special booklet "stepping stones" without text and with more pictures. For the older group a "Step Method" booklet is included in the price and there will be the possibility to take part in a competition.

This after-school activity is open to girls in grades 3-5 and focuses on training for a 5k run. In this ASA, the running and athletic focus will be supported with discussion sessions on identifying strengths, setting personal goals, and building self-confidence, while also building healthy friendships. Each practice will have a theme and begin with a round-circle discussion on that theme, for example, “What is self-image, what factors shape our self-image, and how we can create a positive self-image?” Then we will do some warm-ups and stretches, a few running-based games that also tie in the theme for the day, followed by a run/walk with a few strengthening exercises, and lastly a cool down stretch with a final discussion on what we have learned that the day and any new insights they have. The girls will keep a log/journal of their running and our discussions to help them keep track of all of their hard work.

Dancing is way more than a sport. It is emotions, stories, a way to connect with others, and the world around you. Finding your path in dance as a kid opens a whole new world to you as an adult.
This program will focus on building up the passion and love for dancing in the younger kids, while giving them a solid foundation in styles like hip-hop, commercial, wacking, and others, making discipline and motivation as important as fun. Together we will learn choreographies, practice specific moves and styles (Elements from ballet and jazz), learn about the stories behind them. But most importantly will improve as dancers side by side, developing love, ambition, and passion for what we are doing.
The proud parents will watch the results of our work in the ASA Kids Dance Show at the end of the year, where our dancers will be given the opportunity to feel like stars, stealing the spotlight on stage.Monday: (13 Sessions): Sept: 7, 14, 21, 28 Oct: 5, 12 Nov: 2, 9, 16, 23 Dec: 30, 7,14
