After-school Enrichment
The Bells Mill PTA helps coordinate after-school enrichment opportunities so students can try activities like chess, sports, STEM, art, writing, and more. Programs are run by outside providers, so families should use the official registration link and contact vendors directly with class-specific questions. The PTA does not endorse any outside vendors.
Important dismissal reminder: Students are dismissed directly from their classrooms to their after-school activity. Please email your child's teacher with the activity name and the day of the week your child attends. If your child will be absent, notify the enrichment provider that day.
How enrichment works
Start here to understand registration, parent next steps, and the kinds of classes families may see each season.Kiddo.us is the online platform families use to view available enrichment classes and complete registration.
Continue to check back as more classes come online. If registration is closed on Kiddo, this means that the class is full.Enrollment
Before the first class, please confirm directly with the program provider that the class will be held. Some classes may be canceled if they do not receive enough registrations.
Registration does not guarantee that a class will run.Next steps for parents
Please email your child's classroom teacher with the enrichment activity name and tell the vendor if your child is sick or absent.
