Before-and-After School Enrichment Clubs

ASE Chair, Celeste Grupman, ase@rolandparkptsa.org

Important Dates: 

Roland Park Before-and-After School Enrichment is an optional program. We strive to provide low-cost, supplemental enrichment opportunities to give students additional exposure to arts, technology, health, sports, and more.

The Before-and-After School Enrichment program is a privilege that PTSA enjoys offering our Roland Park families.  This program is fully managed by PTSA volunteers who work diligently to organize providers and registration for these activities. A $10 fee is charged along with each registration. This is the main source of PTSA funding, and it pays for initiatives, including teacher appreciation. We kindly ask for your cooperation and patience in remembering this is a volunteer-managed program.


Policies – Please Read

Registration and Refunds

All students participating in our club program must register through Homeroom. Please make any necessary adjustments during the registration period. Once the registration period has ended, the rosters are final, and no further changes will be permitted. No refunds, additions, switches, or cancelations will be given after registration closes.

Payment

All fees must be paid through the Homeroom website. There will be no checks or cash accepted. Vendors are paid directly from the Homeroom App and cannot receive payments directly.

Pickup

When registering, please include all authorized to pick up your child, as our providers cannot access the school district emergency cards. Your child will not be released to any adults, not in the Homeroom registration form, so please be sure to document those individuals.

When picking up your child, please park in the lot and walk up to the gate to check out your child with the club provider. Please do not enter through the circle - this is for your child's safety. If your child is enrolled in HOST, the club provider will take them to HOST after dismissal.

Please be on time to pick up your child. Clubs are released at 3:45 (Mondays) and 4:45 (Tuesday-Friday). If you are late more than three times, your student's registration will be withdrawn without a refund.

Capacity

Each club vendor has a minimum number of students required to hold that club open. If this number is not met and the provider decides to cancel the club, we will let you know as soon as possible so that you can make other arrangements.

Alternatively, once a club reaches maximum capacity, you will be put on a waiting list, and if a spot becomes available, you will be notified. Please stay attentive to your email during registration should these situations arise.

Behavior

Clubs are a privilege that we enjoy offering to our Roland Park families. Your child is expected to behave respectfully, with kindness (no bullying), and without disrupting the class. Repeated behavioral incidents may result in forced withdrawal from the club without a refund.
