ENRICHMENT CLASSES

PTSA provides opportunities to enrich your child's education beyond the school day. PTSA partners with local vendors to offer after school classes. In addition, we work closely with the school to share enrichment activities offered by our Wilder Teachers.

Vendor-Led Classes
Below, you'll find details on our vendor-led classes. These classes require a volunteer PTSA chaperone to run the class.

Teacher-Led Classes
In addition to vendor-led classes, our Wilder teachers offer separate enrichment classes. To learn more please visit our Wilder teacher-led enrichment page here.

PTSA Enrichment Policies

Each PTSA led after-school enrichment class requires a volunteer chaperone to attend EACH class. The volunteer chaperone’s child is offered priority registration and a full discount on the class price (or 50% discount if there are two chaperones). If you are interested in committing to be the volunteer chaperone please email enrichment@wilderptsa.net ASAP. If a volunteer chaperone is not found for a class, that class will be cancelled.
There are no refunds for before and after school classes. The only exception is if a program does not enroll the minimum number of students, a full refund will be given. Refunds will not be offered for classes within a session that must be canceled due to LWSD closure (weather, etc.), building issues or lack of a chaperone. A teacher or vendor may offer a makeup class if a class is cancelled due to illness or a schedule conflict, however, a makeup class is not guaranteed.
We don't want anyone missing out on enrichment classes. Wilder PTSA offers scholarships based on financial need. If you need a scholarship, please email Mr. Goldberg, Wilder Principal, for help at sgoldberg@lwsd.org
