classes without payment – payment will be made once participation in the class is
confirmed . Sometimes, classes are cancelled due to insufficient registration. We
are allowing MORE registrants than a class can necessarily accommodate in order to
have a “waiting list”. Registrants will be advised on Monday, September 28th if they
have been included in a class. (It will be registered in the order that they are
registered – so don’t delay registration.) If you are interested in volunteering during
a class – please contact [email protected] – volunteers will be given priority to a
class. Payment will be due immediately upon notification of registration acceptance.
 Most clubs have size limitations and will fill quickly, so register early to avoid any
disappointment!
 Clubs will begin Monday, October 5, 2015,
 Please Note: No clubs will run November 5th or 6th.
 TBD After-care students go to the after-care program, and the after-staff will take
them to their club. (Make sure to advise after-care of club details.) The club
instructor will return the child to after-care once club is over.
 PLEASE SEND A NOTE TO SCHOOL WITH YOUR CHILD TO ADVISE YOUR CHILD’S
TEACHER THAT THE STUDENT WILL BE ATTENDING AN AFTER-SCHOOL CLUB.
