General guidelines
- Clubs meet regularly in the fall and/or spring semesters, directly after school
(2:30 pm) so that students go to the club from classroom.
- Parents pick up students at a designated time and place after 30 minutes, 45
minutes or an hour, depending on length of club.
- The club usually meets for 4-8 weeks, a session each week, though flexible
around sponsor’s availability.
- A club can have more than one sponsor to split availability.
- Typically a flyer goes home to applicable grades in backpack and sign up opens
the day after the flyer goes out, usually at 5:30 pm CT on Sign Up Genius (PTO
representative can arrange both.)
- Spaces are limited. Please be sure your student is available for all or most of the
dates before enrolling. And let sponsor/contact know if need to drop as we will
keep a waitlist.
- Often siblings can sign up for the same day/level regardless of age, see sponsor.
