Finalized lists of participants will be displayed on the Junior School bulletin board. Payment info: If a club requires payment, the amount due must be paid before the first class. Any student who has not yet paid will have to miss the session until the outstanding balance has been paid.
INFO FAQ’s What if the student will be absent? If you were not reported as absent for the school day and are going to miss a session, please speak directly with the facilitator of the club to let him/her know that you will not be attending the class that day. What happens if the facilitator is absent? If the usual facilitator is not available, the session will be cancelled and parents of the participating students will be called. After School Care will be provided free of charge for those students who cannot be picked up right away. How do I sign up for Choir and Band? Co-curricular music classes are handled separately. Please see the teaching instructor to register and note all cocurricular music classes require a full year commitment. What if parents are late picking up after club has ended? Children should be picked up promptly after the end of the co-curricular session. Any children who remain 10 minutes past the end of the class will be sent to After School Care.
