The goal of the After-School Programs is to provide a high-quality and substantive supplement to our children’s curriculum in order to facilitate a well-balanced education. The enrichment program allows them to pursue current interests or explore something new while having fun at the same time.
Winter 2012 Session
The Chabot PTA After-School Programs Committee has organized a lineup of approximately 25 providers offering over 30 enrichment classes. Please carefully review the catalog, and note the registration specifics for each class.

After-School Programs and Child Care
After-School Programs are taught by independent program providers. They are not affiliated with Adventure Time*, Chabot, or other child care services.
There are many classes that do not start immediately after the school day, and many have different end times! It is the responsibility of the parent to ensure that the student is either enrolled in Adventure Time, or is supervised by an adult while on school premises, if an after-school class begins more than 10 minutes after the end of the school day. Neither the school nor the AT staff is responsible for the child’s whereabouts once the school day has ended. Parents or guardians are required to pick up their children promptly at the end of the after-school class, or have arrangements already in place with Adventure Time. Program providers may charge a fee for late pickups. Ultimately, it is the parent’s responsibility to ensure your child is picked up, not that of the Chabot office, teachers, or AT.
Scholarships
The purpose of the After-School Programs scholarships is to enable all Chabot children to have access to After-School Program classes regardless of economic circumstances. All program providers offer one scholarship per session. Because there are a limited number of spots, scholarships will be awarded on a need-based honor system. Need is defined as children who would otherwise not be able to afford After-School Program classes, but for scholarships. Families who qualify for free or reduced lunch will have priority.
The Chabot office will manage eligibility for and enrollment in scholarship slots. Scholarships will be limited to one per family unless there is excess capacity. Please only list classes on the Scholarship Request Form that your child is willing to take. Please submit the Scholarship Request Form and the Enrollment Form, without class name, to the Chabot office by Monday, December 5. Do not submit the Enrollment Form to the providers. Parents will be notified of scholarship awards by December 12..

Ensuring Success
To ensure the success and continuation of the After-School Programs, please observe the following:
- Providers are responsible for contacting parents if a class is canceled due to teacher illness or weather. Please be sure the providers have accurate emergency contact information to reach you the day of class in the event of a last minute class cancellation. If your child is already enrolled in Adventure Time, your child will be directed to AT. If your child is not enrolled in AT, ultimately it is the parent’s responsibility to ensure your child is picked up, not that of the Chabot office or AT.
- Please ensure your child knows the time and place of their after-school class. If your child is not in class or Adventure Time before an after-school class, please be sure to provide proper supervision to your child/ children as needed.
- Kindergartners will only be released to a responsible party. All upper grade students will be released from class after its completion, unless otherwise indicated on your enrollment form.
- Adventure Time will receive a roster of students and will escort enrolled AT students to and from After-School Programs classes.
- It is very important that students be on their best behavior on the way to, during, and from classes. Be sure your child knows when and where he/she will be picked up after classes.
- Please be prompt when picking your child up from classes. Parents who are late may be charged a late fee by the Provider.
- Classes with low enrollment may be cancelled and your money returned by the instructor.
