Hours

Open 3 to 7, every school day.

Closed when the school district closes, and on school holidays. Open today, 3 to 7. The hours on this page come from today’s notice, so they are never out of date.
The van

The van

Kestrel High · the Bridge Street doors2:45
Millrace Middle · the bus loop3:05
Home runs6:00 and 7:00
Two trips, every school day, a staff member and a driver on board. Seatbelts, a roster at each stop, and a text to the list if it is more than ten minutes late. Home runs drop at the door for under-14s.

Dinner

Dinner

Every night at 5:30, free, for anyone in the building. Cooked here by the kitchen crew and the kitchen lead. Tell us about allergies once and it is on the kitchen board. Nobody is asked why they are hungry.
The dining room before dinner: two long tables set with mismatched plates, a steel counter with two large pots and a stack of traysSet for dinner at 5:30. Twenty places, and more chairs in the cupboard.

The door

What to bring, what we never ask

Bring: nothing. Homework if you have it. We never ask: for a fee, for a reason to be here, for a Social Security number, or for an immigration status. We ask for a parent’s phone number so we can reach you, an emergency contact, and any allergy. That is the whole form, and it is on paper at the door.
