After-School Activities/Athletics Registration Guidelines 2022-2023

Registration for After School Activities and Athletics is first come, first served. Fall registration closes Thursday, August 18, or as soon as the registration maximum has been reached. Waiting lists will be generated for families who express interest after offerings hit their registration maximum. If we have fewer than the minimum number of registrants, we may need to cancel a class and will inform families a week in advance. Full payment for each class is required upon registration. If your student is in need of care following their after-school activity or athletic programming, you may register for HaBonim Bet (4:50-6). There will be no after-school programming on early dismissal or no school dates.
