After-School Activities will run Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday each week. To participate in clubs, students must purchase a school activity card. The activity card cost is $50 per student. Please note that this fee has been reduced from previous years. Students will be able to participate in multiple activities for a single fee. Students can sign up at any time.
To purchase an activity card, please send cash or check (preferred) payable to Chelmsford Public Schools to school with your child. The money will be collected by the homeroom teacher and turned into the office. Students who are learning remotely can drop off or mail in their payment. All students must also complete the "Non-School Hours Health Directive" and return it with their payment: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eqh5fXyMLPyusFThLhi-UKGKg0HUwn-m/view?usp=sharing
*Activity cards will be distributed in homeroom. Students who register/pay will be able to start attending clubs even if an activity card has not been formally issued. Google Meet codes will also be sent out once your student signs up.
Should you have any questions about participation in the after-school program, please contact me or your child’s counselor at the school, Ms. Dolan, grades 5/6 and Ms. MacIsaac, grades 7/8. Please see the brochure below with details and club descriptions.
