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.
