Get ready for TM Enrichment!
The FTME-coordinated Enrichment Program offers after-school classes at Thurgood Marshall. The three sessions are Fall, Winter and Spring – usually 10-week sessions. Breaks normally occur only during vacation periods and other days when school is closed. Classes are offered by independent vendors, nonprofit organizations and volunteers.
FTME charges a registration fee to provide logistical support and fund scholarships. We want to be able to continue to run our Enrichment program in a fiscally responsible matter and to do so we will need to keep registration fees at $60 per class.
There may be some minor changes to the schedule between now and when registration opens for each session due to instructor availability. Please check back for updates.

How to get a scholarship
Limited scholarships available, please choose the scholarship option on Homeroom if interested. You will receive an email confirming or denying your request
We do recommend a $60 donation per scholarship class if your family is able to. This helps cover registration fees and the costs of hiring SPS teachers to stay after school to help run the program.
The FTME’s ability to grant aid is based on scholarship donations received and by the generosity of enrichment providers who offer scholarships in their classes. We reserve the right to grant or deny all requests for financial aid. For questions, contact enrichment@tmlink.org

Getting to and from class
- Students are expected to transfer independently to an Enrichment class, although we will have volunteers help transfer kindergarten students for the first few weeks.
- Homeroom teachers are given a class list at the beginning of each session, but they are not responsible for delivering students to their Enrichment classes. If you think this may be a challenge for your child, please contact enrichment@tmlink.org
- Parents are responsible for collecting their children promptly from classes. There will be no supervision for children after their class ends. If prompt pickup becomes an issue, your student may be removed from the class without refund for remaining classes.
- No bus transportation can be offered for Enrichment Program classes.
Behavior at Thurgood Marshall
We have the expectation of respect for teachers/instructors and good behavior during classes. Students are expected to maintain the same behavioral standards that they have during the regular school day. If there are behavior conflicts, we will do our best to work with the parents/guardian(s), the student, and the class instructor to come up with an acceptable solution.
Accommodations
Our students have a diverse range of needs, please let us know if your student needs additional support or accommodation. If your child requires extra support or 1:1 care during the school day – for example, students that have medical needs, behavior concerns, wandering tendencies, as well as assistance with toileting – please reach out to enrichment@tmlink.org to discuss how we can help them successfully participate in the enrichment programming.
Snack and Clothing
Each child should bring a small, easy-to-eat nut-free snack on class days. Please send your children with clothing appropriate for their classes. Athletics and dance classes require loose-fitting clothes and closed toe rubber-soled shoes. Art can be messy! Please bring an old shirt or a smock.
General Information
Enrichment Programs at Thurgood Marshall do not generate a profit for the FTME (Friends of Thurgood Marshall Elementary). A fee of $60 is collected to cover the direct costs of managing the program (registration portal fees, SPS teacher liaisons, etc.)
