Is Rainey transporting students to your program?

Will students still get a meal?

Will my child be able to do their homework?
Rainey allocates time for students to complete their homework between 3:00 pm and 4:00 pm. Our teachers rely on your children to inform them if they have homework and are never to go through a child’s backpack in search of agendas or homework. If your child needs more support or time for homework we ask that you reach out to Andrea Soncina, Arts Education Coordinator, to discuss a plan at [email protected]
“My child loved being able to express himself and make friends who share common interests with him.”
