Heilicher is the place to be for after-school classes and athletics! Check out all the offerings below, and click the orange button to register.

After-School Activities/Athletics Registration Guidelines 2022-2023

Registration for After School Activities and Athletics is first come, first served. Fall registration closes Thursday, August 18, or as soon as the registration maximum has been reached. Waiting lists will be generated for families who express interest after offerings hit their registration maximum. If we have fewer than the minimum number of registrants, we may need to cancel a class and will inform families a week in advance. Full payment for each class is required upon registration. If your student is in need of care following their after-school activity or athletic program, you may register for HaBonim Bet (4:50-6). There will be no after-school programming on early dismissal or no school dates.

HaBonim

Jump in for fall! Heilicher HaBonim offers fun, safe, enriching, on-site activities for K-6 students after school. Students will have snacks, active play in the gym or playground, and free-choice activities including art projects, games, and sports/physical fitness activities. Students in grades 3-6 will also have quiet, staff-monitored homework time available each afternoon.
