Welcome to Riverside School Afters – Fall 2021!

We are excited to offer the following sports-based Afters classes (descriptions below) for Riverside School students this fall. Classes will run from 3:15-4:15 pm for 8 weeks, starting the week of September 20th through the week of November 8th, 2021. The week of November 15th will be reserved for a make-up class, if needed, in the event of a weather-related cancellation during the regular 8-week session. There will be no class on Tuesday, November 2nd (Election Day).

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration resulting from the glitch in the iCare system provided by Flex Academies. We have now pivoted to rivpta.org for pre-registration, sign-ups, and payment*.  

Fall Afters Registration is now Closed

Program Details & Important Information:

• All classes will be run by Mr. D’Andrea and Mrs. D’Andrea and will be OUTDOOR ONLY on the fields at Riverside School.
• All attempts will be made to keep grade-level cohorts together as much as possible.
• Class cancellations due to inclement weather will be determined no later than 2:00pm the day of the class and will be communicated to parents via email, as well as to students via the Public Announcement speaker system at school. When a class is cancelled, students will be dismissed as they would on a regular day.
• There will be one make-up day (during the week of November 15th) for any cancelled classes, but beyond that, there will be no refunds offered due to weather cancellations.
• Should Riverside School / Greenwich Public Schools policy changes or closures due to COVID-19 lead to an Afters program cancellation, families would be offered a pro-rated refund for the remaining classes in the session.
• Enrollment is limited to 45 students per class / day.
• Dismissal will be at the blacktop at Riverside School.
• As in the past, the program will be administered through Flex Academies, and a registration link will be sent during the week of September 13th.
