PTSA Enrichment Policies

  • Each PTSA led after-school enrichment class requires a volunteer chaperone to attend EACH class. The volunteer chaperone’s child is offered priority registration and a full discount on the class price (or 50% discount if there are two chaperones). If you are interested in committing to be the volunteer chaperone please email enrichment@wilderptsa.net ASAP. If a volunteer chaperone is not found for a class, that class will be cancelled.
  • There are no refunds for before and after school classes. The only exception is if a program does not enroll the minimum number of students, a full refund will be given. Refunds will not be offered for classes within a session that must be canceled due to LWSD closure (weather, etc.), building issues or lack of a chaperone. A teacher or vendor may offer a makeup class if a class is cancelled due to illness or a schedule conflict, however, a makeup class is not guaranteed.
  • We don't want anyone missing out on enrichment classes. Wilder PTSA offers scholarships based on financial need. If you need a scholarship, please email the school councilor Lexi Kimbell at akimball@lwsd.org
