Flipside Afterschool
Flipside is coming to Farnsworth Lower in Fall 2026!
Flipside is an out-of-school-time program that has served students in St. Paul Public Schools middle schools for over 20 years. Flipside is intentionally designed to have a positive impact on student achievement, skills and social development. Beginning this Fall, we are creating a new Flipside program pathway with out-of-school-time programming at Farnsworth Lower, Farnsworth Upper, and Johnson.
Flipside will combine academic and enrichment programming for students in grades 1-4 beginning October 19, 2026. The program will be led by district staff with instructors from Farnsworth and community partner organizations. Students will move directly from the school day, have snack, go to their classes, and be transported home via SPPS busses.
More information about the program, program coordinator, and how to register will be available by September 18, 2026.
