AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM INTEREST SURVEY

2025 - 2026 SCHOOL YEAR

Since 2023; the Merrimack Parks & Recreation Department has offered an After School Program at Wasserman Park for students from Thornton's Ferry and Mastricola Elementary Schools. As we plan ahead for the 2025-2026 school year, we are looking to expand the program to include Reeds Ferry Elementary School, as well as the Mastricola Upper Elementary School in response to the ongoing need for after-school childcare expressed by families.

We are reaching out to gauge your interest in this expanded After School Program opportunity. Your response to this survey does not require a commitment at this time; it simply helps us assess the demand for services.

We will collect responses through April 30th and then determine if there is enough interest to expand to the other schools in Town so that we can open registration for next Fall in early May. 

Complete details about our program can be found on our website at: Naticook After School Program Website.
