Fall After-School Classes
23 September through 13 December
Welcome to the Fall session of our After School Program. Our program provides students with opportunities to grow through classes in STEM, arts, fitness, and many other interests. The aim of these classes is to extend the students’ learning experience after the school day ends. There are three sessions of after school classes through the year- Fall, Winter, and Spring. The Fall session has different scheduled weeks depending on the grades attending the class:
Grades P3-K: 23 September through 5 December
Grades 1-3 Only: 23 September through 5 December
Grades 1-5: 30 September through 13 December
Grades 1-8: 3 October through 13 December
We are excited to offer new classes this Fall, such as Floorball, Rhythmic Gymnastics, Clay Art, and Digipen’s Open World. Also, popular classes like International Dance, Karate, Chess, and Machine Sewing are back.
For Grades 1-8, registration opens on Monday, 9 September 2024, at 7:00 a.m. on a first-come, first-served basis and requires payment to secure a spot. Registration closes on Friday, 20 September 2024. When a class fills, the option to join a waitlist is provided and this list is used if a place opens.
For Pre-Elementary (P3 to K), registration is on a lottery basis. Our class lottery system is as follows:
- Registration for placement in a class lottery opens on Monday, 9 September 2024, at 7:00 a.m. and closes on Wednesday, 11 September 2024, at 7:00 a.m.
- The person registering the student(s) receives a confirmation email of entry into the lottery for the chosen class. Please check the junk/spam/other mail folders if it is not in the inbox.
- Each class registration receives a number, which is used in the lottery drawing through a random sequence generator on Wednesday, 11 September 2024. The person registering receives an email notification of the student’s placement either in the class or on the waitlist for the class.
- For those placed in a class, the email contains a link to an invoice for online payment using a credit card. A payment confirmation email is sent upon completion of paying the online invoice. We must receive the invoice payment by 12:00 p.m. on Monday, 16 September 2024, to secure placement, or else the unsecured placement is offered to a student on the waitlist.
- Offers of placement to students on a waitlist are completed via an email with a link to an invoice for online payment. A payment confirmation email is sent upon completion of paying the online invoice. Payment must be received by 12:00 p.m. on Thursday, 19 September 2024, to secure placement, or else the unsecured placement is offered to the next student on the waitlist.
All classes have a minimum number of students required, and failure to reach the minimum results in the cancellation of the class. We notify the person who registered of any cancellations, and automatically process a refund. For any other reasons, requests for refunds will only be considered if made by Friday, 27 September 2024.
If you have any questions, or if you have a class suggestion for our program, please contact our Auxiliary Program Coordinator, Sharon Gonzalez at (425) 881.4230 ext. 133 or SGonzalez@etonschool.org.
Registration access for After-School Classes is provided via the Parent/Guardian Portal (in Veracrross).
Here are the steps:
- Log in to your Portal (link in top right header). If you have not already logged in at least once, we suggest you do so before the day of registration so you are familiar with the process and layout of your Portal page.
- On your Portal page, click the registration link for your child's grade (below the brown "Browse" button). Note: Anyone with a child in Pre-elementary and another in a higher grade level will see and use two separate registration links.
- In the new window, click "Launch Signup" next to your child's name.
- In the new window, follow the directions on the screen to register your child.
- At any point, except after hitting submit payment, you can go back to change and edit your choices.
Once posted, classes can be viewed using the "Browse" button on your Portal (just below the calendar).
