Roland Park Clubs are optional after-school programs that our PTSA is proud to offer to our school community. Our program is fully managed by PTSA volunteers who work diligently to organize these extracurricular activities. We strive to provide low-cost, supplemental enrichment opportunities to give students additional exposure in the areas of arts, technology, health, sports, and more.
The After School Clubs program is a privilege that PTSA enjoys offering to our Roland Park families. We kindly ask for your cooperation and patience in remembering this is a volunteer-managed program.
Club Policies – Please Read
Registration
All students participating in our club program must register through Homeroom. Once the registration period has ended, the rosters are final, and no further changes will be permitted. However, during the registration period, you may make any necessary adjustments. This means there will be no additions, switches, cancelations, or refunds after registration closes. When registering, please include any adults you authorize 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.
Payment
All fees must be paid through the Homeroom website. There will be no checks or cash accepted. Vendors are not able to receive payments directly.
Pickup
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, you will be subject to forced withdrawal without a refund. When picking up your child, please park and walk up to the gate to check out your child with the club provider- this is for your child's safety. If your child is enrolled in HOST, the club provider will take them to HOST after dismissal.
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 notify you promptly so that you may 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. We kindly ask that you stay attentive to your email during registration should either of these situations arise.
Behavioral Policy
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.
