SEE Time and Before School

All students in 2nd-5th grade participate in Schoolwide Enrichment and Extensions (SEE) time every day except Tuesdays from 2:40-3:10pm. SEE Time clubs are run by Lafayette staff members at no cost to families. Classroom teachers help students sign up for the clubs they are interested.

Lafayette staff members also offer clubs before school begins for 3rd-5th graders. These are free, but families must sign students up to participate.

Enrichments After School

Active Play offers on-site enrichment activities for students to participate in after school hours. Classes are offered every day of the week and run for a term. These opportunities are at a cost to families, although scholarships are available.

Please note that these classes are run by a private vendor, not the school team, so questions are best directed to lafayetteenrichment@activeplayllc.com. More information can be found here.

DCIAA Sports

District of Columbia Interscholastic Athletic Association (DCIAA) oversees our competitive athletics. At Lafayette, we offer girls and boys cross country in the fall, basketball in the winter, and track and field in the spring. Only 4th and 5th graders are eligible to participate after the required paperwork is submitted.

You can find all of the participation forms here. Please know it takes 10-20 business days for the forms to go through the approval process.
