Spring 2012/13 Program Schedule and Registration Forms

Welcome to the Spring 2012/13 session of the After-School Enrichment Classes! We are excited to be offering a wide range of classes this semester, including martial arts, creative writing, drama, art, science, hip hop, toyology and guitar. Each class is offered by an independent provider who establishes the curriculum and fee.

To learn more about and register for any particular class, please consult the information and enrollment forms posted below the schedule.  Please note these are in the process of being finalized and not all forms/flyers may be posted at the current time.

ADVENTURE TIME

In addition to the after-school classes, Adventure Time after-care is regularly offered on the Crocker campus.  More details at: http://www.adventure-time.com/

SCHEDULE & CLASS TIMES

Each after school class has its own schedule. Please make careful note of the dates of each session and the meeting times and rooms for your child’s class. Classes will not be held on school holidays. The class schedule is subject to change.

Class Flyers/Details for Spring 2012/13 (Added as available)

Click here for the individual registration flyers for each class. This page is in process and the flyers are added when they become available.

REGISTRATION & FEES

Class registration is directly arranged with the provider. The information sheets (class flyers) have instructions about how to enroll and make payments.

DROP-OFF AND PICK-UP

Please make sure that solid arrangements are in place for your child to get safely to their after school class and to be picked up once class is over. Parents of children who attend after school classes and are also enrolled in after school care (Adventure Time, Lakeshore Children’s Center, JCC) should make arrangements with the after-school care provider to make sure that the transition to and from class is supervised. Please let the after school teachers know who is responsible for picking up your child after class.

PTA CONTACTS

The chair of the After School Enrichment Program is Simon Becerra. He can be reached by email at afterschool@crockerschool.org

LIABILITY

It is very important that you fill out and sign a PTA Parents’ Approval and Student

Waiver form, which was distributed in the take home packets the first week of school, and which can also be downloaded here. This form indicates that you have given permission for your child to participate in a PTA-sponsored activity, and that you release the PTA of liability.

GUIDELINES

The After School Classes are NOT school sponsored programs. The Crocker PTA coordinates the classes that are provided by sponsoring organizations and instructors.

Please follow these guidelines to ensure a positive experience with the classes:

1. Questions: To discuss issues related to a specific class or for more information , speak directly to the instructor or sponsoring organization.

2. Class Cancellations: It is the responsibility of the instructor to notify families of a cancelled class, whenever possible. Occasionally there are last minute cancellations due to traffic/car problems, sudden illness or personal emergencies. It is very important to teach your child what to do if the instructor does not arrive as scheduled. For example, kids enrolled in Adventure Time might go to A.T. for drop-in, while other kids may go to the school office to call a parent for pick up. Please note there will be no adult to supervise children in the event an instructor does not show up.

3. Getting to and from classes: Your child should know how to find the class and know what the arrangements are for after-class pick up. For safety reasons and out of respect for the teacher’s time, it is imperative that your child is picked up on time. A fee may be assessed for late pick up.

4. Class Behavior: These classes are a special privilege designed for the enjoyment of the Crocker Children. To benefit fully from the classes, all children must cooperate to ensure that the class runs smoothly. Recommendations to the teachers for behavior difficulties are as follows: a) one written warning if a child seriously misbehaves in class b) a request to drop the class if the child has persistent behavior problems. No refunds will be provided in this instance.

We hope that you and your children enjoy the after school offerings at Crocker!
