About McKinley-Thatcher
Enrichment programs are a fantastic way for students to explore their interests and develop new skills through focused, single-subject activities. Offered by trusted DPS Community Partners, these programs provide exciting elective options at over 32 schools across the District. Enrichment activities run during the first hour after school, seamlessly complementing Discovery Link programming. Students can participate in both Enrichment and Discovery Link on the same day by registering for both programs!
If your student qualifies for Free and/or Reduced Lunch and are interested in Enrichment programs please complete the scholarship interest form. Do NOT register for a program you have submitted the interest form for. Scholarship Interest Form linked here.
Please note if a program does not meet the minimum number of students as stated by the community partner offering the program, the class will be canceled.
**Enrichment offerings are not a DPS program, activity or service. All are run by businesses**
The deadline to withdraw from the winter session is Monday, November 25th by emailing us at enrichment_extendedlearning@dpsk12.org.
