Cancellation Policy

Any requests to cancel a registration during the registration period will be subject to a $50 cancellation fee. Once the clubs have started, no refunds or credits will be issued for any reason. As soon as a club has sufficient enrollment, we confirm with the vendor that it will run and pay the vendor’s fee for the session based on the number enrolled. Vendors do not refund us when a student drops out of a club so we cannot allow a registered child to withdraw from a running club for any reason without penalty. Please make your choices with care. We appreciate your cooperation and hope your children enjoy their chosen clubs.

For more information regarding registration, please contact Lorraine Judge, Christine Howard or Song Yu (SP) or Rachel Glotzer or Elise Houpt (GV) at [email protected].

PROGRAM GUIDELINES AND POLICIES

The After School Club policies have been updated. Please read and note that these policies will all be in effect for all sessions.

1. At each school, Teacher’s Aides will supervise children participating in the clubs between the close of school at

3:00 and the start of clubs at 3:15. Please note that our Aides will depart at 3:15 after students have gone to their clubs. Parents of children enrolled in clubs starting at 4:20 will therefore need to make separate arrangements for those children to have adult supervision between 3:15 and 4:20 if they are not also enrolled in a club that starts earlier.

- At Greenville, students in 3:15 clubs will gather in the Lunch Room after school is dismissed and will be escorted to their clubs’ rooms shortly before 3:15. 1st-6th grade students participating in a club that starts at 3:05 will report directly to that club’s assigned location. Kindergarteners participating in clubs will be directed to the Lunch Room gathering place by their teachers and collected by their club’s instructor.

- At Seely Place, all 1st-6th grade students in 3:15 clubs will report to the APR after school is dismissed. Students with a 3:05 clubs start will report directly to that club’s assigned location. Kindergarteners will be collected from their classrooms by an Aide, who will escort them to the APR. Club instructors will collect their students shortly before 3:15 from the APR and escort them to their club’s assigned location.

2. Please remember that students from both schools are eligible for classes regardless of location. Parents are responsible for transportation.

3. Enrollment, room location, time and dates of all After School Clubs will be posted on the PTA Bulletin Boards at Greenville and Seely Place. Please check those boards carefully. No phone calls will be made to let you know if your child has been admitted to a club and there will be no reminders of start and end dates.

4. Please make sure to pick up your child promptly after each class. Instructors are not responsible for your child after class is over.

5. The behavior of children enrolled in the After School Clubs must be consistent with the proper behavior expected in the classroom during normal school hours. If a student’s behavior is repeatedly disruptive and affects the functioning of the club, the student’s parents/guardians will be put on notice. If the disruption continues, the student may be removed from all future sessions of the club and no refund will be given.

6. Instructors are not obligated to make up classes - indoors or out - that are cancelled for weather-related reasons. Parents or caregivers of students enrolled in After School Clubs must check their emails and the After School Clubs bulletin boards daily while clubs are in session for important updates.

− If schools are closed due to inclement weather, there will be no After School Clubs.

7. If a minimum enrollment is not met for a given club, it may be necessary to cancel that club. If this happens, you will be notified by the After School Clubs coordinators, refunded the club fee and given the option to enroll your child in a different club.

8. Registration is on a first come, first served basis. Once the maximum class size has been reached, Eventbrite.com will not allow anyone else to register for that club. If you would like to be added to the waitlist, please email your request to [email protected].
