After School Enrichment
The mission of Pittsford PTSA's After School Enrichment Program is to provide safe and supervised after-school educational, enriching and/or recreational programs for school-age children. Building PTSAs choose programs based on their individual demographics, interest level, and parent commitment. The building principal must approve all programs.
Pittsford Central School Districts strives to make our school environment one in which all children can learn and succeed. If any after school enrichment offering serves as a financial hardship or strain on your family, please work directly with Principal Barg or Counselor Liz Candeais at any time to secure necessary financial assistance through a confidential conversation.
Please note: Programs on this page are for Jefferson Road Elementary students only.

IF THE CLASS YOU ARE REGISTERING FOR IS FULL, PLEASE USE THE WAITLIST TO INDICATE YOUR INTEREST.
**A note about fees: In the past, processing fees were calculated and included in the cost of the program, invisible to the payer. The new registration site will be adding these fees onto the cost for each transaction, therefore, we no longer need to account for them in the cost of programming, meaning, these fees are now visible to the payer during the transaction. This is a great improvement, promoting the transparency expected of the PTSA.
