After School Clubs (ASC)

Registration has begun for Third Quarter clubs. The registration deadline is Thursday, January 12th. Clubs start the week of January 16th.  Download the registration form.

After School Clubs (ASCs) provide families the convenience of extracurricular activities at CPSC after 3:15 p.m., with lessons in various areas including art, music, crafts, and more; offerings vary from quarter to quarter. ASCs are open to all CPSC students, not just those enrolled in After School.

ASCs and After School are different programs. Club fees are in addition to afterschool fees. If your child is participating in a club only (and not the After School Program), you will need to pick up your child immediately following the club. If your child needs care after 4:30, the fee for the club and the After School Program for that day both apply.

Clubs are offered each quarter; information is sent home with Weekly Updates. Full payment is due one week prior to start date of club.

ASC Offerings for Third Quarter 2011-2012

Clubs may be canceled if enrollment is low — enroll early!

Clubs meet from 3:15-4:30 p.m. No clubs on early dismissal days and school holidays. 

*New Club Descriptions:

Choir Club: This group focuses on group and solo vocal performance of classic and contemporary pop, folk, jazz, rock, soul, and rhythm and blues. Singing in a group is a team effort that will teach members to work together as they learn to use their vocal instruments to express themselves in harmony with others.  

Cooking Club: After experiencing cooking club, your child's favorite ingredients will be garlic, onions, and cumin! Children will have the opportunity to measure, chop, stir, sauté, and taste a variety of cuisines. It is truly amazing what foods children will try when they make it themselves!

Knitting Club: Do you know how to knit a little or not at all? Would you like to learn how to purl or fix a dropped stitch? We will introduce you to yarn, gauge, casting on, knitting, and purling while making a super cool scarf! We will also use double pointed needles to make a pair of fingerless mitts. Don’t just sit there, knit something!
