Preliminary plans for Beyond the Bell, Club B starting in September
Following through on our commitment to after-school programs, Tacoma Public Schools and our partner organizations have developed a preliminary plan for Beyond the Bell and Club B in the 2026-27 school year.
Both Beyond the Bell and Club B will continue to run at all elementary and middle schools. Both programs will continue to offer four eight-week sessions, starting in September.

After-school programming update from Superintendent Garcia
For more than a decade, TPS, community, and partners have worked to build robust after-school programming. Families, students and staff have come to rely on Beyond the Bell and Club B. News that some program funding is in jeopardy has created stress and worry in our community, and this is not lost on me.
