Evergreen School District Schools Offer a Variety of Enrichment Programs
Enrichment classes are programs that support learning and individualized strengths. Core subjects such as math and reading are important to build a strong base for every child’s education, but enrichment activities and extracurricular classes may be where your child shines. ESD offers these enrichment programs for our students.
