JAAM After-School Program
JAAM After-School Program
JAAM (Jammin After-School Adventures for Me) is an after-school program sponsored by the City of Seguin, Parks and Recreation Department and the Seguin Independent School District (SISD). JAAM is offered at all SISD elementary schools, grades Kindergarten through 5th grade.
Each campus strives to maintain a ratio of 12 students to one instructor. Each campus includes one Lead Instructor and Instructors based on the number of participants. There must be a minimum of ten children registered in order to have a program.
There will not be a JAAM afterschool program available at McQueeney or Rodriguez Elementary for the '23-'24 school year due to low enrollment.
Program Goal
To provide a fun, safe, supervised, stimulating environment for children to spend their "free time" after school before they are in a parent or guardian's care. Activities will encourage children to expend positive energy through organized and individual games and activities that promote self-discipline, and develop a healthy self-esteem and personal growth.
JAAM Activities Include:
- Daily Snack
- Homework Time
- Group Activities
- Arts and Crafts
- Movies
- Parties
- …and fun!
