Rules

  • We will follow a first-come, first-served registration principle. Please only sign up for one program as space is limited.

  • Please note the grade limitations for each program.

  • Please note we are using Google Forms this year to sign up (vs ParentSquare).

  • PTSA members will have Early Bird Sign up, and Parent volunteers will receive priority sign up.

Registration Steps

  • Please go to the Google Form link and sign up for your SINGLE desired class. 

  • Sign ups are time stamped. Registration will be on a first come first serve. We will save additional sign-ups for our waitlist. 

  • Those who also agree to be a volunteer are guaranteed a spot and will jump to the head of the registration list. Max of two volunteers per class.  

  • Early Bird will be offered to all PTSA members. To qualify, please join the PTSA by Sunday 9/21 to qualify for Early Bird sign up. 

    • Sign up here: Join the PTSA Now!

    • PTSA membership will be cross-referenced using your email address. Use the same email address to sign up for both the PTSA and Afterschool Program. 

    • Late enrollment into the PTSA will not be re-visited for Early Bird registration.

  • Please note: Google Forms does not allow us to cap registration spots, so signing up on the Google Form does not necessarily mean you are registered. We will be collating the sign ups and will notify you via email no later than Thursday, Oct 2nd confirming your child’s spot in class. If you do not receive a confirmation email, that means your child did not get a spot in the class. 

Chaperone (Parent Volunteer)

As BSD requirement, we need up to two parent volunteers to participate in each of our after-school classes. This is important because:

  • BSD regulations require that each after-school class must have at least one parent volunteer for the entire session. If there are no volunteers, the class will be canceled. 

  • Volunteers will have a GUARANTEED spot for their children. A 50% discount will be awarded to each volunteer spot, up to two volunteers maximum.

  • If a parent volunteer is not present for a single class and there is no coordinated backup, that day's class will have to be canceled - without refund for all students that day. 

  • Parent Volunteers are required to submit a Level 3 Background check. Please use the same email for all registration (PTSA, Afterschool Sign up, and Background Check)  BSD Volunteer Background Check

  • Please find volunteer expectations here.
