OASIS Afterschool Program

What is OASIS?

OASIS stands for Opportunities and Supports in School. OASIS offers programming after school and over the summer.

This programming includes a variety of engaging activities aimed to provide a safe place for students to get help with their schoolwork, participate in engaging activities with their peers, and have an opportunity to try new experiences. Most of our programs are led by our school-day teachers or other professionals in their respective industry.

OASIS is free and open to all students in the Boquet Valley Central School District. To participate, caregivers must register their students. You can that do by finding the form on this page to register for the appropriate location’s programs.

If you have any questions about the registration process or need a printed form mailed to you, contact Marcail Miller at mmiller@boquetvalleycsd.org or 518-873-6371 ext. 2405.

Mondays: Run/Walk/Floor Hockey Club
*Grades 3-5 only.*
Get ready to move, play, and have a blast! This after-school Walking/Running/Floor Hockey Club for grades 3–5 mixes energetic games, friendly challenges, and exciting floor hockey action so kids stay active while having tons of fun with friends. It’s a great way to burn off energy, build skills, and leave OASIS smiling every day!

Tuesdays: Pottery
*This is for grades 3-5 only.*
Join Mr. Caldwell to work on learning more about pottery or to continue developing your potter skills. Max of 8 students.

Tuesdays: Gardening Club
*This is for grades 3-5 only.*
Our after-school Gardening Club for students in grades 3–5 offers a fun, hands-on way to explore nature while learning how to plant, grow, and care for a variety of flowers and vegetables. Students will build teamwork and responsibility as they nurture their own garden projects and discover the science behind how plants thrive. This engaging program encourages curiosity, outdoor activity, and a lasting appreciation for the environment.

Tuesdays: En Español: Art and Culture in Spanish
*This is for grades 3-5 only.*
“En Español: Art and Culture in Spanish” will explore art forms from Mexico. Students will learn about various traditional arts and crafts of Mexico and then create art in that style. Students will be exposed to Spanish language, culture and art.

Wednesdays: Strings
*This is for grades 4-5 only.*
This class is intended for students who are already enrolled in the 4th/5th Grade Strings program at Lake View and who currently receive small-group string lessons during the school day. This course is a continuation of the Large Group Strings class previously held on Wednesdays, now offered through OASIS. Students will continue developing foundational bow-to-strings (“hands together”) technique, ensemble skills, and musical fluency appropriate for students beyond the beginner level. Students not currently enrolled in the Lake View Strings program may register for a separate beginner strings class which may be offered in future OASIS sessions 6 and or 7 on a different day of the week. These students will be introduced to bow hold and beginner string skills, working parallel to, but not replacing, the instruction of more experienced string students. Instrument availability is limited. BYOC or BYOV (Bring Your Own Cello or Violin) is strongly encouraged. They can be rented (per month) through Rawson Violins at Champlain Centre. I recommend a 1/4 size instrument.

Thursdays: Drama 101
*This is for grades 3-5 only.*
We are offering a Drama 101 experience for students interested in trying this program out. Come learn all the fun and exciting ways to  grow your confidence on the stage. 

Thursdays: Lego Stop Motion
*Grades 3-5 only.*
This program will cover an intro into stop motion and brainstorming, creating a storyboard, creation of setting a background, film production and editing. This group is welcoming of all levels.
