Class Numbering
Classes numbered in the "100's" are targeted toward 4th - 6th graders, "200's" toward 7th - 9th graders, and "300's" toward 9th - 12th graders. However, these are only guidelines. Parents should feel free to use their judgment as to class levels for their children. The class number sequence (example: 201, 202, 203..) usually does NOT indicate a required sequence or that "203" is a higher level class than "201" . Where there are prerequisites, it's indicated.
Class Sections

section 1; Thursdays at 10 am
section 2: Mondays at 2 pm
