At Lawrence
Two programs serve Lawrence students right here at school.
Lawrence Extended Day Program
LEDP · After-school care for grades K–6
LEDP provides on-site after-school care at Lawrence. Families looking for regular coverage after the school day should explore enrollment early, as space is limited.
If the program is full, families may join the waitlist to be contacted if space becomes available.
Lawrence Special Activities
LSA · Seasonal enrichment classes
LSA is an independent nonprofit offering after-school enrichment classes for Lawrence students during Fall, Winter, and Spring sessions.
