After School Clubs are managed by the Wilmette Park District, but conveniently located right at Harper School. A wide variety of classes is offered during the winter, ranging from sports to science to music and much more!
The Harper Garden Club is offered in the Fall and Spring (this program is not run via Wilmette Park District).
Our popular Harper Chess Club is offered by the Wilmette Park District throughout the school year.
The Fall session of Chess Club runs Monday, September 9 –December 20. All participants can register through the Wilmette Park District starting on Wednesday, August 28 at 9:00 am. If you do not currently have a household account with the Park District, please set one up prior to this date. Please note that this information is only on the Wilmette Park District website and not in our Explore Guide.
Students will be dismissed from their classroom and checked in at the cafeteria by the Chess Ed instructor immediately after 3:15 pm dismissal. The children will be dismissed from the front entrance of school at the end of class.
**Please note: After School Clubs are not guaranteed to run unless they meet their minimum registration requirement. Minimum requirements vary for each club. Clubs are not meant to substitute for childcare. In compliance with the school snack policy, children may only bring a fruit or vegetable snack to have prior to class starting. The Park District will not be providing any snacks.
