Elementary After School Activities
Overview
The Elementary After School Activity Program offers a multitude of activities that meet the varied interests of our students. Activities are school specific and run during one or multiple session. This brochure provides an overview of the Fall Session for clubs that begin on Monday, October 7th, and continue through Friday, December 13th.
Parents will also notice that some activities are designed to be developmentally appropriate and may specify a particular grade of student participants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can my child register for more than one activity?
Yes. Students may register for more than one activity as long as the dates and times don’t conflict.
Can my child register for activities at another elementary school?
No. Unfortunately, since the activities start immediately after the school day, it is not possible for students to leave their school and get to another school in time to participate.
If an activity is run during the fall, winter, and spring sessions, may I just sign up my child for the year?
No. Parents will only be able to enroll one session at a time. The district will communicate registration dates and deadlines prior to each session.
What happens if a meeting day has to be cancelled due to weather or absence of a teacher?
In the event a teacher is absent, a substitute will run the activity or the session will be rescheduled. In the event an activity is cancelled because of weather or other unforeseen circumstances, the teacher will make every effort to reschedule.
Why do I have to pay tuition?
The tuition covers the cost of all expenses and is calculated by factoring the teacher’s salary, material costs, and other outlays of operating the activity. It is important to note that these activities are cost and revenue neutral to the district.
Is the district continuing to run any funded activities at the elementary level? In other words, are there extracurricular activities for which elementary families do not have to pay?
Yes, the district will continue to offer programs in Band, Chorus, Orchestra, Drama, Reading Olympics, and Student Council. There is no tuition charge for these activities.
