Seattle Parks and Recreation Community Learning Center (CLC)
The Seattle Parks and Recreation Community Learning Center (CLC) at Washington Middle School aims to bridge the gap between communities and school, by creating programs that are culturally relevant and reflective of the community we serve.
The WMS CLC offers the following seasonal programs:
- Huskies Out of School Time
- Parks Academy of Learning Summer Program
Huskies Out of School Time, or HOST, is the WMS afterschool program managed by the Seattle Parks and Recreation CLC. HOST operates Mon, Tues, and Thurs from 3:45-5:30pm and Weds from 2:30-4:30pm. Semester 1 will run October 8-January 24. HOST offers a range of academic, recreation, and enrichment programming. Academic clubs are available 4 days a week in a variety of homework help, mentoring, and math clubs. Enrichment classes include crafts, cooking, robotics, basketball, music and more! Snack and school bus transportation home are provided.
Registration for HOST classes begins September 17. Download HOST Registration forms online or pick one up from WMS main office and the CLC office, Room 141.
