WISE is an after school program managed by the Whittier PTO. Our goal is to bring a wide variety of classes, for kids of all interests to support their growth.  We focus on bringing local programs to accomplish the PTO's mission to engage our community. Classes include Yoga, STEAM: Robotics, Sports, Breakdancing, Art & Science, Drawing & Painting, Ceramics, Cooking, and much more. Be sure to check homeroom for the latest programs.

We are seeking attendance volunteers to check in WISE students and distribute a snack. Attendance volunteers receive $50 off their student’s session, and will receive a coupon code to use when registering. Attendance volunteers are needed for about 20 minutes after school in the auditorium. It’s a fun and easy way to learn students’ names and be involved! If you are interested, email wise@whittierpto.org for more information.

We offer three sessions per school year Fall, Winter, and Spring, lasting about 10 weeks each session. Registration opens typically 2 weeks before each session begins.

Registration for fall will begin at the start of the school year with classes beginning in September. Sign up for the Rundown to get the latest updates.

LOGISTICS

• After the dismissal bell, your child will report to the auditorium, where attendance will be taken by a parent volunteer and children will receive a nut-free snack.
• Programs are offered from dismissal to 4:15 Monday to Friday.
• Instructors will escort your child to the front office of the school at the end of WISE. Parents/guardians should pick up their children PROMPTLY at 4:15 pm.
• If your child will be absent, please mention WISE when you call the school office, so that we are alerted. We take your children's safety very seriously, and we must account for every child.

A limited number of need-based scholarships are available for WISE. Families can apply for one scholarship per child, per session. Once the scholarship is approved, you will receive a code to enter in when you register. To request a scholarship:

• Please submit a request to scholarships@whittierpto.org with the student's name and the class they would like to take.
• An invitation will be provided via email with a discount applied at checkout for 50% off the class or up to $100 off
• Please note we are unable to reimburse so requests must be made before you register.
