The Steuart Weller PTO is pleased to offer our students enriching, fun, and exciting After School Activities! The following is some key information about the program and registration. Please make sure to read the following information CAREFULLY. General Information: Classes begin the week of February 5th and will run 8-12 weeks on the days specified in the online catalog, from 2:45 p.m. to 3:45 p.m. or as specified in the class description. Flyers for classes can be viewed in the online catalog, to cut down on paper use. We will make every effort to schedule make up classes if a class is cancelled. If a makeup session cannot be scheduled, there will be no refunds for the missed class. Holidays in this session are Monday Feb 12th, March 26th – March 29th, Monday Apr 2nd, and Monday Apr 9th.

Registration Information:

● All class information and Registration links are now on the school website under the PTO (After School Activities) tab. Registrations must be completed by Sunday January 21st. Please review class selections and grade levels carefully.

● Registration confirmations will be sent via Email ONLY. If you don’t receive email notification by Tuesday January 30th, please contact the ASAP Committee at swes.asap@gmail.com to inquire status. DO NOT call the school for class placement confirmation. We have many confirmations to send out, so it may take several days for you to receive confirmation notices for multiple classes.

How to Register:

Class descriptions follow in the Course Catalog, and registration links can be found at: https://fs20.formsite.com/swespto/Spring2018/index.html or through the school’s website under the PTO tab (After School Activities). You may also view the course catalog and flyers for each activity on the PTO website.

● Payment is due at time of registration via PayPal (a PayPal account is not required). ● Make sure to give a clear and accurate spelling for your email address; it’s the only way of

getting confirmation that your child has been successfully registered! Rules and Responsibilities:

● Students MUST be picked up at time of dismissal! TWO or more late pickups, defined as 5 minutes past class end time, will result in your child being withdrawn from the class.

● NO REFUNDS WILL BE ISSUED. ● Early school closings due to weather will result in ASAP cancellations and students will go home

as usual. ● **If your child cannot attend a class, you must call the school by 1:00pm or send a note with

your child’s name, ASAP class and the date that the child will be absent. Your child’s teacher must be told of a dismissal change! This is extremely important so that we can account for your child’s whereabouts!**

Please take note of holiday schedules and class length. Classes vary from 8-14 weeks. Class meeting dates are posted in the catalog.

● The ASAP Committee reserves the right to withdraw any student who does not uphold the same behavioral conduct required in school.

● Unauthorized preregistration will result in cancellation of your registration

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

My child normally participates in CASA or YMCA. Can they participate in an after school class? Yes! Children who typically go to CASA or YMCA will be dismissed to the ASAP class attendance site on the day of their ASAP activity and will be accompanied to CASA/YMCA by the ASAP instructors upon dismissal of their ASAP class. I registered for multiple classes but haven’t received confirmation for all of them. We have many confirmations to send out upon registration completion. Occasionally we have adjustments that need to be made to class rosters that delay confirmations being sent out for specific classes. If you have not received confirmation for all the classes you registered for by January 30th, please email us at swes.asap@gmail.com. How do I arrange for a different person to pick up my child from ASAP? Please send us an email at swes.asap@gmail.com with the new information. Also, please send a note in with your student and have them give it to their ASAP instructor if there is to be a change in their dismissal plan. Where does my child go for ASAP? Students for all ASAP classes (except Scooter Hockey and Math Olympiad) will meet in the music room for attendance and will then proceed to their class site with their ASAP instructors. How are prices for classes determined? Our vendors determine their own prices based on their assessment of current market values, factoring in a 15% donation of proceeds to our PTO. Vendors attempt to bring outside opportunities directly to our students at the lowest price possible. Additionally, class prices often reflect costs for insurance, maintenance of equipment, professional organization fees, materials fees, etc. My child goes to day care. Can I have their day care pick them up after ASAP? Day care transport can be authorized to pick up your student from ASAP. Please be sure to inform any pick up designee of our very strict NO LATE PICK UP policy. Vendors are required to remain with students until they are picked up from ASAP. Keeping our vendors waiting on transportation for students is not only discourteous, but harms our relationships with outside vendors.
