After School Care and Student Enrichment

After Care

These three on-campus after-school care options at MWE are available from the dismissal bell until 6 pm on school days.  

• STAR Galaxy is a monthly tuition-based program open to UTK and up. It is a structured program, with students broken out by grades. Register here by selecting Mt. Washington Elementary and Galaxy. Contact MWE site director Ms. Gil at lucitag@starinc.org for more information.

• Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELOP), a free, structured program with mixed-grade classes, and is open to UTK and up. Contact Ms. Denise at denisev@starinc.org for more information.

• Beyond the Bell, a free program with less structure, is only open to students in Grades 2–6. 

A popular off-site aftercare program is the After School Club, operated by The LA Department of Parks and Recreation at the Carlin G. Smith Recreation Center. A paid program, Carlin G. staff picks students up from MWE at dismissal, and parents must pick up by 5:30pm. Please check their website for additional information.

Enrichment Classes: Offerings for Winter 2025

Our Mt. Washington Elementary students can enjoy a robust offering of after school classes that enrich their educational experience. MWPTA brings an assortment of class offerings to our students. Our After School Enrichment classes are meant to help support the varied interests of your children and are not an after school care program.

Once you enroll your child in a class make sure that the teacher has confirmed receipt of your payment and enrollment.
