    ACTIVITIES

    CMA Latchkey is a safe place for students to go before and after school! In the mornings we have a quiet activity time. Students then have the option to go to breakfast (paid through the office by parents) or remain in latchkey until the first bell. In the afternoons, latchkey provides a nutritional snack. After snack, we go outside for some fresh air and activity then have reading, homework, and free play time. We strive for our latchkey students to learn social skills and responsibility all while having a FUN time!
