Hello CP Families:

Welcome back from Winter Break!

The Winter After School Clubs are up coming soon, beginning on Tuesday,  January 24th and running for 6 sessions. Registration begins on Monday, January 9th at 8 PM on Homeroom.com.  Registration remains on a first-come, first-served basis.  Some of the clubs can sell out quickly, so if you don't already have an account on Homeroom.com, please click here to register before Monday  https://www.homeroom.com/register.  You can search for "Community Park Elementary School" and then you will be walked through the registration steps.  If you have any questions about the registration process please email  pattyjoseffer@yahoo.com. 

COST: The cost of a 6-week session is $100 ($94 for the club + $6 Homeroom service fee). NOTE: The enrollment fee for some clubs may be higher due to material expenses or cost of the vendor.  Clubs are non-refundable after the clubs have started and will be considered a donation to the CP PTO.

SCHOLARSHIPS ARE AVAILABLE! To request a scholarship, please email anitacatarrivas@gmail.com.

VOLUNTEERS ARE STILL NEEDED!  We CANNOT run clubs without parent volunteers! If you wish to be a CP PTO parent volunteer for all 6 weeks of a club, your child will attend at no cost to you, and you can register before the general enrollment. If you are interested, please email Rob Freudenberg  at robfreud23@gmail.com ASAP.

Disciplinary Protocol:
To participate in clubs, students are expected to be respectful to the instructor(s) and to the other kids in the club. Disruptive or inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated. For a first offense, a note and follow up phone call will occur (from a member of the Clubs Committee on behalf of the instructor)). Given that there are only 6 sessions, if the behavior continues without improvement, the student will then be asked to leave the club with no refund to the parent.  The decision to have the student leave would be made by the instructor and communicated by the clubs team via a phone call to the parents.  By registering for a club, you are in agreement with this protocol. 

Specific club dates are as follows:
Tuesday: January 24, 31, February 7, 14, 21, 28 (Make up: March 7)
Wednesday: January 25, February 1, 8,15, 22, March 15 (Make up: March 22)
Thursday: January 26, February 2, 9,16, 23, March 16 (Make up: March 23)    
Friday:  January 27, February 3, 10, 24, March 3, 10(Make up: March 17) 

POTENTIAL CLUB SCHEDULE CHANGES:

• Please be aware that the club you want may be cancelled due to low enrollment. Clubs that need a CP parent volunteer and don’t have one will also be cancelled. Clubs that are under-enrolled may be cancelled, and there may be other issues that arise that cause us to cancel a club as well. If a club your child would like to take is cancelled, your payment will be refunded.
• We will attempt to reschedule club sessions that are cancelled due to illness of the instructor, but might not be able to, depending on the circumstance. Please note the makeup date that has been reserved for each club.
• NO REFUNDS will be issued for any reason once clubs have started, other than a club that has been cancelled. Your payment is a contribution to the CP PTO, not a “fee for service.”

LOGISTICS AND THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND:

• Clubs will begin at CP as soon as the school day ends, and pickup for most clubs is at 4 PM SHARP! Please note that a few clubs start a 3:15 and end at 4:15 PM specifically the clubs taught by aides.  If your child is in K-2 they will remain in the library until the instructor picks them up. 
• We reserve the right to terminate the participation of a student in a club if a student is repeatedly picked up late, determined at our sole discretion. If you know that you are unable to pick your child up on time, please don’t register your child for a CP PTO club. Many CP students go to the YWCA aftercare program at CP after clubs end, and you will be able to indicate that preference on your registration.
• Please note that we reserve the right to terminate the participation of a student in a club if the student is unable to constructively participate in the club, determined at our sole discretion.
• Please note: the school nurse is not present at CP after school during club sessions.
• Many of our children have allergies or eating restrictions. Therefore, no food or drink is allowed in clubs (except water).

Thanks and we look forward to another fun season of clubs!
