We open Monday through Friday at 10 a.m. We close at 4 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. On Wednesdays, we remain open until 8 p.m. We close on Saturday and Sunday, except for special events.
Given our shoestring staffing model, we sometimes need to close unexpectedly for various reasons. When we do, we post a sign on the door and make a blog post.
- Our beloved office administrator, Cade, is on chemo until mid-July. As such, we will open on Tuesdays after chemo concludes. We cannot control the oncologist's schedule; we try to open by 11:30, but could open as late as 1 p.m. We apologize for the inconvenience.
- From July 8 to August 26, we will open at 11 a.m. on Mondays. We have agreed to a delayed opening to accommodate a special weekly karate class for students with special developmental or emotional needs. This is a pilot program through Fourth Form Martial Arts Center, and we're happy to cede the hour to help a vulnerable population to thrive.
We close for the weather when Wyoming Public Schools closes.
Scheduled non-holiday closure dates for Summer 2024 include:
