Welcome

Welcome to Hawk's Nest on behalf of all the after-school staff and administration! We are excited to serve our Hunter community by providing expectational after-school opportunities for your children to explore, enhance, and celebrate their unique talents. Our Hawk's Nest team is dedicated to providing a welcoming and safe environment that supports our students' needs and interests by fostering community and equality in our program. Our goal is to create an after-school experience where your children will have the opportunity to form new friendships with peers across grade levels and participate in various community-building activities and events.

We look forward to having your children in Hawk's Nest!

 

Program Overview
Hawk's Nest Afterschool Program runs from 2:30pm to 5:30pm on school days. The program is divided into Fall (September to January)  and Spring (February to June) semesters. A general day in Hawk’s Nest begins with snack time in the cafeteria from 2:30pm to 2:45pm. Please ensure to pack your child a nutritious snack. Hawk's Nest does not provide snacks, and elementary students are prohibited from using vending machines. Students are picked up from the cafeteria by their after-school teachers at 2:45pm and are escorted to their classroom for enrichment classes. Students are released from their enrichment classes at 4:00pm. Our first round of dismissal begins at 4:10pm. Please allow time for your child to pack up their belongings and make their way to dismissal. Students who are enrolled in clubs or study nests will be picked up by their club leaders or tutors from the cafeteria at 4:10pm and are escorted to their designated classrooms. Students are released from clubs and study nests at 5:00pm and are escorted to the courtyard (or the cafeteria during bad weather) for a free play session until they are picked up by a parent or guardian no later than 5:30pm.
