The deadline for scholarship requests is October 7th. All information will be kept confidential.

ARRIVAL AT CLUBS: Kindergarteners and 1st graders will be escorted to clubs by our After School Club aide, Elsa Brewer. The 2nd –5th graders are responsible for getting themselves to clubs. Attendance will be taken in clubs. If your child has attended school but will not be attending a club on that day, please contact the main office or your child’s teacher. Neither the PTA nor the teacher can be responsible for a child who does not report to an after school club.

DISMISSAL FROM CLUBS: Clubs end at 4:05 p.m. Children in grades K-3 must be signed out by a parent, caregiver or older sibling (grades 4-5). Children in grades 4-5 are instructed to exit through the new building, where the After School Clubs aide, Elsa Brewer, will dismiss them to a parent or caregiver, unless they have permission to walk home (please check registration form).

WEATHER CANCELLATIONS/EMERGENCY PLANS: Clubs take place after school hours and are not part of the school district’s curriculum. If school is closed due to inclement weather or other emergency, or if there is an early dismissal for any reason, clubs will be cancelled for that day. If school is in session, but clubs are cancelled due to weather or other reasons, you will be contacted. We will attempt to make up any cancelled classes after the last session.

BEHAVIOR IN CLUBS: Please remind your child that participating in After School Clubs is a privilege and should be fun for everyone. Any child who compromises the safety or enjoyment of the experience for others may be removed from the club with no refund.
