Early Engineers is an after school program. Each week students are challenged to build something while surrounded by LEGOs, K'Nex and solar-powered motors. The students build, test and rebuild their projects in order to learn the skills of engineering. This hands-on activity is great fun, and engages students in spatial reasoning, learning structural integrity and practical geometry. This is a pay program and occurs multiple times during the school year on Thursdays. For more information, click here.

Del Paso Manor Elementary’s Elementary’s Chess Academy Classes

At Chess Academy, we don’t just play chess, we teach chess! Our comprehensive program offers multiple levels and all of our classes are led by an instructor with new lessons each week. A typical class consists of an extensive lecture following game-play, where students practice what they've learned that day. Chess is a wonderful educational opportunity to help build a child’s ability to focus and understand the art of strategy at an early age.

Fridays: 2:45pm-3:45pm

Session A: 9/14, 9/21, 9/28, 10/12, 10/19, 10/26, 11/2

Science Olympiad is a science competition and Del Paso Manor has a team! Students in grades 3-6 are invited to apply to be on the Science Olympiad team. Students are coached on various science topics, and they work each week in a collaborative setting in order to prepare for the day of competition. Science Olympiad's ever-changing line-up of events in all STEM disciplines exposes students to practicing scientists and career choices. Science Olympiad is a fun way to learn science with friends and compete against other elementary schools. The Del Paso Manor team is in its fourth year. The team placed third in its first year and has won the Sacramento Region Elementary Science Olympiad for the past two years. We look forward to adding on to that this year!
