Dear Stingray Parents and Students,


We are excited to offer the following clubs to SST students for the 2021-2022 school year. Please choose the clubs you want to sign up for. Please make your selections in a way so that you do not have any scheduling conflicts. Selecting a club does not guarantee that you will be able to join that club since each club/organization has limited spots available. Once all spots are filled, no one else will be allowed to join that club.

  • Clubs fees are due on September 20, 2021. (You will receive a ParentSquare payment request after the club roster is finalized)
