Community Campus After School Passes
After a successful pilot of our Community Campus After School Pass last spring we will be asking parents of children grades K-8 who use the Community Campus after school and on school holidays to complete an application for an After School Pass. By completing the After School Pass, parents will be providing valuable information to help with the safety of the children who are participating in activities at the Community Campus. Our Community Campus partners will also be including the application information in their registration packets.
