Beyond the Bell

Session 2 (by day of week) Monday

Welcome!

Cannon School strives to provide quality after-school Beyond the Bell (BTB) programming: classes for our JrK through 8th grade students and private music lessons for our K through 12th grade students. We are excited about the upcoming 2024-25 school year and hope your student(s) will join us for another exciting year of enrichment offerings!

Programs FAQS Q: When and how can I sign up for BTB classes?

A: You can sign up anytime during the sign-up period (November 11th – November 29th). Additionally, we accept late registrations before week 2 of a session, if the class has open spots. Please note that class fees will NOT be prorated. We encourage online registration as this will have a date and time stamp, which is useful for popular classes. Registration Link: www.cannonschool.org/cannon-life/beyond-the-bell-enrichmentprogram or complete the registration form at the back of this booklet and return to the Enrichment Programs Office.

Q: What if I want to cancel or change a class in the middle of a session?

A: If your child is unhappy with his/her choice or their schedule has changed, you may cancel a class after the first week. Once the student has attended the second class, we are unable to cancel billing and full payment is required. Please note that you will be billed for the one class attended at the per-class cost.

Q: What are my payment options?

A: You can pay by check, cash, money order, or have the full amount billed to your student account. Payments are due with your registration.

Q. How many students are accepted in each BTB class?

A. Each class has its own minimum and maximum number of students.

Classes that do not reach the minimum number required will be canceled and no charges will be applied. Classes will close once the maximum number has been reached, so early registration is recommended.
