KP After-School Clubs Program

After School Clubs Program at

Kensington Parkwood Elementary School

ENRICHMENT ACADEMIES – NEW FAMILIES 

Enrichment Academies, Inc (EAI) welcomes all new families to Kensington Parkwood! EAI has been managing the after school club program at KP for 8 years. It is EAI’s mission to provide a rich, rewarding and diverse after school experience to students, parents and educators with a variety of price points, session times and days offered. Most clubs are offered directly after the school day, right at KP’s campus and provide students opportunities to explore new activities, develop skills, exercise and connect socially with a greater cross section of their school peers outside the classroom. 

News for 2023-24 School Year 

On Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays EAI will offer clubs in classrooms, the gym and/or field at KP.  EAI will offer gym basketball again on Friday.  In addition to Mondays and Fridays, EAI has also secured the gym on Tuesdays so soccer can now run on inclement weather days.  Popular morning clubs at KP will also be available.

EAI Club Experience 

Enrichment Academies will offer three sessions of clubs: fall, winter and spring. Parents can view all club opportunities, at a glance, before registering. 

Club Schedule Overview 

EAI will provide an overview of the upcoming fall schedule by late August and an overview of the winter & spring clubs by late fall. This enables parents to start planning their child’s schedule with other activities. These overviews will detail which clubs (with appropriate grade levels) will be running on each day of the week. Notifications will be sent via EagleNet once the schedules are posted. Please keep in mind this is a draft schedule for the year and some revisions to the club schedules may occur. 

Club Catalog 

EAI provides a club catalog to all students a week prior to the start of registration. In our experience the catalog generates anticipation, excitement and interest among the students about upcoming club opportunities. EAI encourages students to be part of the club selection process and collaborate with their friends in exploring club opportunities. The catalog provides details on the online registration process, club descriptions, club dates, pricing and additional club policies for parents. 

Registration 

EAI provides a simple, easy-to- use registration system. This system provides parents a weekly calendar view of the clubs along with specific club meeting dates and times (in case their club catalog is not in arms reach!) Website address and more details will be provided closer to the start of fall registration. 

Open/Early Bird Enrollment 

EAI offers open enrollment, with a specific registration start date. Club fees for the first four days of each registration period will feature discounted Early Bird pricing. We urge all parents to take advantage of early bird enrollment so minimum enrollment numbers can be met and accurate rosters can be distributed to instructors prior to club start dates. After the four-day Early Bird window, online club registration will be available at an additional $10 per club. 

Club Communication 

In an effort to provide proactive feedback on club activities, EAI requests that each club instructor send weekly emails (or eight week club overview) to parents of enrolled students to inform them of events in their children’s club experience. In addition, EAI provides an email (or phone call if needed) to parents of absent students. This helps parents and students adapt to the weekly after school clubs routine. EAI requests that parents email the student’s club instructor ahead of time if they know that their child will not attend club on any given day. This improves the efficiency of attendance-taking to maximize club enjoyment time.

Annual Registration Fee 

A registration fee of $25 is required during each student's first club registration of the school year.  This is an annual fee per student per school year.  Once paid, subsequent club registrations for that student during that school year will not incur this fee. This revenue from this fee helps offset the cost of providing a quality after school club program. EAI does exempt Scholarship students from the annual registration fee. 

Parent Feedback 

EAI welcomes and encourages feedback from parents. Your input helps to build a stronger program as clubs can be added or improved in subsequent sessions. All correspondence should be directed to Gabrielle@Enrichment-Academies.com.

Please note: Fall clubs will start the week of October 2nd. Specific dates for all clubs will be included in the KP ASC Catalog and within the online registration system.
