School schedules do not always fit adult work schedules. For parents in need of extra assistance at the beginning or end of the school day, Coyote Club, a before and after school program, is available. Here students have a chance to finish homework assignments, giving families more free time at the end of a busy day. After completion of homework assignments, students may play games and participate in activities that are academic in nature. Coyote Club is a service open to students in all grades. It is available before school from 6:30 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. school days. The afternoon session runs from 3:15 p.m., when school is dismissed, to 6:15 p.m. Sessions are also available on Early Release days.
