• A lottery system will be used if there is more demand for a class than there is space available.
• Special Consideration: Students who were placed on a waitlist for a class last session will have priority placement for that particular class. *A registration form for each student is still required.*
• An acceptance letter will be emailed to you (or placed in your child's green folder if no email address is given) approximately one eek after the regular registration period ends and only if your child has ben accepted to a program.
• If a program goes to a lottery and your child does not secure a spot in a class, we will email you a wait-list letter notifying you that your child is on the waitlist for that program in case a spot opens up.
• Every effort will be made to place students in their preferred class, but please be aware that we cannot always accommodate every request. We work hard to provide every child with a placement in at least one program.
• Please do not register your child for a program unless you are fully committed to take a place.

Limited financial aid opportunities are available for those who qualify.  Please indicate your request at the time of registration.  Kindly note: if approved and accepted into a class, financial aid is available for one class per child per session.

• During the registration period you may withdraw your registration request for any reason. To request a withdrawal and/or a refund (if applicable), you must contact Baroody Camps at [email protected]. After the registration period has closed, Baroody Camps cannot guarantee a full refund for any class(es).  If your child does not enjoy their program for any reason, a request to cancel may be made to [email protected] NO LATER than 48 hours after the second class date.  No refunds or credits will be issued after this deadline.  Some programs may require a return of equipment or supplies before a refund can be processed.
• All refunds will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis & must be discussed with Baroody Camps directly. The Charles Barrett PTA is NOT responsible for issuing credits/cancellations for any of the classes.
• Late registrations may be permitted at the discretion of the vendor and school. There will be no late registrations after the second class of any program. Late registrations will no longer be offered at a prorated rate. Exceptions may apply for extenuating circumstances, please email us at [email protected]. 

• Teachers will receive an electronic and paper copy list of their students participating in Enrichment programs. They are asked but NOT required to remind students attend their programs. Students should arrive to the Auditorium after school to meet their instructor and our On-Site Coordinator. We also ask parents to remind their children each morning.

• Please also feel free to remind teachers and/or REC Center staff that your child will be attending class.

It is imperative that you indicate the dismissal arrangements for your child on the registration form. Please note that it is not permissible to be late for pick-up. If you are late more than two times, your child will no longer be able to participate in the program. Please be aware that school personnel will not be available at this time to supervise your child. This policy has been endorsed by Charles Barrett’s Principal, Mr. Kennard.

• Parent Pick-Up: Parents/caregivers must pick up children promptly at 3:45pm. Your pick-up location will be provided to you when your registration is confirmed with the Acceptance Letter.
• Walking home from the school: Students who are already approved by the school to walk home must have parents/guardians indicate this option on their registration form. Crossing guards will not be available.
• Recreation Center: Students attending the recreation center for after school extended care will be escorted to the center by the program instructors following the class.
• Activities bus: There will no longer be an ACPS activities bus or Baroody van following after school enrichment programs at Barrett. If your child needs transportation in order to participate in programs, please email us at [email protected] to discuss.

Changes to Dismissal: You are responsible for notifying the school office by noon of that day and to Baroody Camps ([email protected]) of any changes to your child’s regular dismissal process from his/her after-school program. The On-Site Programs Coordinator will provide each Barrett teacher and each after-school programs Instructor with a list of children participating in the various afterschool programs along with their dismissal instructions.

• ACPS-provided snacks are available to all After-School Enrichment Programs participants. We encourage families to take advantage of these snacks both for the convenience they offer & for the low risk they pose to children with allergies. If you prefer to send your own snack with your child, you may do so, but must inform Baroody Camps. Please do not send anything that contains nuts or was processed in a facility that processes other products containing nuts.
• If your child has a medical condition and/or allergy, serious or not, please indicate this at the time of registration. Program providers will be given an allergy list of students participating in their class. Snacks will be monitored by the On-Site Coordinator and the Program instructors in their classrooms with serious allergy students monitored closely.

• Note: We do not have access to the health office during Enrichment programs, however, our On-Site Coordinators are trained to store and administer medication safely.

• We want to ensure that all students participating in the before and after-school enrichment programs enjoy the experience. In order for this to happen, it is expected that all students will conform to regular Charles Barrett ES classroom and school rules and regulations while attending a program. The providers are all experienced Instructors and will use accepted classroom management techniques to allow misbehaving children to adjust. If a child continues to have difficulties, he or she will be removed from the class and be placed with the On-Site Programs Coordinator who will decide if and when to return the child to class that day. The On-Site Programs Coordinator will also inform the parents about the situation.
• If a child is removed from a class a second time, that child will be withdrawn from that class for the remainder of the session. The School will be informed of this decision. No partial refunds will be given in these situations. We look to all parents to support our class providers so that all children can enjoy the after-school classes. 

• Certain behaviors will not be tolerated.  These behaviors may include, but are not limited to: consistent disruption in class; any inappropriate physical contact (i.e. hitting, kicking); blatant disrespect toward the Instructor or other students; a refusal to listen to Instructions; the use of inappropriate language; and/or destruction of property.
• Here at Baroody Camps, we want to foster a learning environment where all students feel safe and secure. With this being said, any incidents of bullying including, but not limited to: name calling, assault of any kind, verbal and nonverbal threats, throwing objects, cornering other students and/or intimidating behaviors, taunting, discriminatory statements or behavior, or exclusion from activities will result in the first and only warning. After the first warning, any future behavioral issues will result in immediate removal from the class for the remainder of the session. Baroody Camps will not offer any partial refunds in these situations. Enforcement of this policy is at the discretion of Baroody Camps and their partners.
