After School Programs (grades K-5)
After School Programs are held Monday through Friday at each of the five K-8 schools in Malden. The programs are open to all students residing in Malden. The programs run from school dismissal time until 5:30 pm. Each program provides daily homework time, enrichment, recreation, and healthy snacks.
A to Z University is our after school program for students in grades K-5. We will have three university sessions in the school year.
A to Z University runs from 2:15 to 5:30 pm at the Beebe, Forestdale, and Linden Schools; and 3:15 to 6:00 pm at the Salemwood School. Children may be picked up at 4:15 pm or 5:30 pm at the Beebe, Ferryway, Forestdale, and Linden, while children may be picked up between 5:30 and 6:00 pm at the Salemwood School.
A to Z University provides a safe and nurturing environment where students academic skills are enhanced. Homework help, tutoring, and classes on study skills and organization help students overcome barriers to learning and achieve their highest academic potential. In addition, students are given opportunities to delve more deeply into topics touched upon during the school day through activities that enrich and reinforce classroom learning, and help overcome gaps between school day and after school experiences.
A to Z University creates a "college campus" at each site in which students are grouped by grade level as "freshmen," "sophomores," "juniors" and "seniors." Courses are themed around the letters of the alphabet. Session 1 courses use letters A through I, Session 2 focuses on letters J through R, and Session 3 encompasses letters S through Z.
All of our University courses and activities focus on Reading, Written Communication, and Math Problem Solving. The Malden Public School district has determined that our students need the most help in these academic areas, and given our intent to support the school day, we have selected these as our focus.
Important Dates Mandatory parent orientations will be held at the start of each University session. As a requirement of our funding, all families must attend this orientation during the first session their child attends.
Session PCSM Staff Meetings An important part of providing a quality program for your child is making sure our staff are properly training. As such, we will have staff meetings throughout the year. On the days listed below sites will close at 5:00 pm. All children must be picked up by 5:00 pm on these days. Late fees will be applied from 5:00 pm for children not picked up on time.

Financial aid is available to families that request it and meet qualifications. Financial aid is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Families requesting financial aid are required to submit a copy of their most recent tax return for qualification.
