ATTENTION CSD17 FAMILIES!
We are greatful to our friends at the Channahon Park District who will be offering a new 'Before The Bell' program in Channahon 17!
Similar to the existing After The Bell program, Before the Bell will be available to Kindergarten through 4th grade families at Galloway and Pioneer Path schools. Transportation to and from N.B. Galloway School will be provided for Pioneer Path students.
The program provides consistent before school care in coordination with the school calendar and is designed to engage students in a diverse range of activities, promoting social interaction, creativity and personal growth in a welcoming and enriching environment.
Registration for this program begins today, Monday July 13th, and the program begins August 20th with the first full day of school. Due to the shortened school day, there will not be Before or After the Bell on the first official day of school, August 19th. Winter Break, Spring Break and full days off are not included.
We can’t wait for another awesome school year, now with Before AND After The Bell!
