NMUSD Early Dismissal Workshops

Early Dismissal Workshops

Kids Only | Ages 5–12*
Wednesdays after school + Conference Weeks
1.5-hour workshop

Our Early Dismissal Workshops are 1.5-hour, hands-on culinary and hospitality workshops designed to support families on early release days and conference weeks—when school ends early but the afternoon still needs structure.

Children will work collaboratively in a relaxed, social setting blending cooking, baking, creativity, and hospitality projects in a shortened format that’s perfect for after school.

Workshops are staffed with a 6:1 adult child ratio and led by CPR & First Aid trained adults with professional expertise and talent in areas of cooking, baking, crafting and gardening.

For safety, children do not use knives or ovens allowing kids to focus on the production process, creativity, team work and broader understanding of hospitality.

Schedule

• Every Wednesday after school on early dismissal days (except March 18th). 

• Additional dates during conference week
  Exact times vary by school schedule and are shared in advance.
