The Mistral PTA arranges for a variety of after-school classes and clubs for students at Castro and Mistral, with a goal of having no student turned away for lack of funds. Classes run in three sessions, September-November, December-February and March-May. Information about registration is posted in the school newsletters, online and on posters around campus a few weeks before a session starts.
Want to see a new class offered? Talk with the PTA's Afterschool Program Chair and find out how you can help bring it to Castro and Mistral.
Registration for the Fall session opens Aug 21
Register online or turn in your white form in the office before Aug 24 3:00pm
