Club offerings and registrations are sent out approximately 2 weeks before the session begins in your child's backpack. The guidelines for club registration are:

Registrations must be received by the registration deadline

Cash/check payment registrations must be received in the "After School Clubs" folder in the school office by the registration deadline

Registrations must be accompanied by payment in full

Do not register siblings on the same form

Notification of clubs registration will be done via email only - please add the email afterschoolclubs@beaumonthsa.org to your address book to ensure delivery of this email

We want all children interested in a club to be able to participate. Spaces are not filled on a first-come, first-served basis. If demand is greater than space available, a lottery will be held. The lottery will be held only with registrations that are:

fully completed

accompanied with payment in full

received by the registration due date

We are not responsible for lost or otherwise delayed registrations. If you miss the registration deadline for any reason, contact the After School Clubs Coordinator directly. Please do not contact the club leader as this places them in an awkward position! If space is available in the club, a placement will likely be made if the club leader agrees. If the club is full, we regret that placement cannot be made.

Full refunds will be issued for children who are not selected in a lottery situation. There is no pro-rating or refunds for absences or leaving the club. Refunds are made only if requested prior to the first meeting of the club and a replacement can be found for the space. Clubs that do not reach minimum enrollment numbers will be cancelled and your payment will be refunded in full.
