General Information
Under the supervision of the PS87 PA, the Afterschool Committee offers afterschool activities in the form of clubs which meet once a week for the entire semester. The program operates on the premises of PS87; a few classes, such as City Adventures, travel off-site but leave and return from PS87. Our program is fully insured and professionally managed. Club size is usually 12 students per club, except for sports and performance classes.
Who May Register?
Although first preference is given to PS87 students, subject to availability, our Afterschool classes are open to children outside PS87. Registration for students outside PS87 is by late registration ONLY.
Schedule
The Afterschool Program follows the NYC public school schedule. Spring semester clubs start on Monday, February 8 and ends Friday, June 25. The Afterschool Program is closed on days when NYC public schools are closed or on half-days when all grades are dismissed early for parent conferences or clerical purposes. Please note that we are unable to offer refunds for clubs canceled due to school closures. Program hours are from school dismissal until 6:00 PM. Clubs are in session 3:30-5:00; children may be picked up from the Auditorium anytime from 5:00-6:00 PM. (From 6:00 PM until 6:30 PM coverage is available for $5 for each 5 minutes.)
After-Club and Homework Help
There is no extra charge for after-club activities (5:00 PM-6:00 PM), which for grades 1-5 include quiet play, art activities and videos in the Auditorium; supervised free play in the Gym; a Library study hall and one-on-one homework help provided by PS 87 teachers; and teacher-supervised play with Legos, math games, and chess in the Cafeteria five days a week from 5:00 - 6:00 PM.
Kindergarten children are dismissed separately to a classroom, where they are offered supervised games and art activities.
Registration
Beginning with the Spring 2010 session, registration options include online, drop-off, and in-person late registration only.
If you are applying for scholarship subsidy, you will need to confirm eligibility in advance of registration. Managing Director Alberto Cruz (acruz@87afterschool.org, cell 917-861-8776) will be happy to answer any questions about scholarship verification, payment arrangements, or registration.
The Afterschool Program reserves the right to modify clubs and change instructors, or to cancel clubs not meeting minimum enrollments.
Online Registration
Online registration opens January 20 at 9:00 AM and closes January 27 at 6:00 PM. To register, you will create an account to input your information and save it for future semesters. If you have trouble with the online process or do not have access to a computer, you may call the Afterschool Office (212 873 0940) to make an appointment to come to school for help. Appointments will be available January 20 - January 27 and during late registration.
Drop-off Registration
You may leave your completed registration form and payment in a special Afterschool registration box that will be placed in the Lobby on Tuesday and Wednesday, January 26 - 27. Drop-off registration forms will be entered AFTER online registration closes. Please make alternate selections in case your first choice is unavailable.
Late Registration
Late registration can be done in the Afterschool Office (Room 118) January 28 - February 4, from 9:00 - 2:30 PM. If you wish to enroll your child or add a club after the term begins, contact Alberto Cruz (acruz@87afterschool.org).

Transfers may be made at any point in the semester, subject to availability and approval by the Director. Transfer requests must be made in writing. There is no extra charge for making a transfer.
