Frequently Asked Questions 

Are scholarships available in cases of financial need? Yes! Please contact our school counselor if you are interested in a scholarship for a club. We offer one scholarship per child per session, either through Baroody Camps or a BES PTA sponsored club. Please submit your request ideally the week before Clubs Registration opens with your top three choices in preferential order. Also, these scholarships are to help with the cost of participation in PTA clubs listed on our site. They do not cover other activities provided by other outside vendors, even if those other activities take place at BES.

If I need to withdraw my student from a club, can I get a refund? Generally, for Baroody Camps, you can get a refund if you withdraw before the club’s first meeting.

The policy for other (i.e. non-Baroody) clubs is as follows. If you withdraw before the first meeting, the PTA will refund you for the registration fee, minus any charges imposed on the PTA the club operator. Refunds will not be available after the first meeting.

Will students have time for a snack between school and after-school clubs? Yes! School finishes at 3:50, and clubs start at 4:00. By all means pack a snack for your student to eat in the intervening 10 minutes.

Where do I meet my student after an after-school club? Baroody camps have a teacher liaison at the front door to direct pickups.

What about dropping off my student for a before-school club? Before-school clubs begin at 8:10.  The front doors of the school will be unlocked at 8:05, at which time students may enter the building and walk to the room where their club meets.  Ms. McCawley will be in the lobby helping direct students the first few weeks of classes.  Parents must remain outside with students until the doors open at 8:05.  Please do NOT drop your students off outside the school and leave before the doors open.

Do clubs meet on snow days/MCPS holidays, etc.? During our winter session, weather sometimes interferes with our club schedule. In general, here are guidelines for weather events/holidays and clubs.

  • MCPS holiday (such as MLK, President’s Day, etc.)- No clubs- morning or afternoon
    MCPS early release day – No afternoon clubs; morning clubs will meet
  • School cancelled for weather (snow day)- No clubs- morning or afternoon
  • School released early for weather- No afternoon clubs- morning clubs will meet
  • School opened late due to weather- No morning clubs- afternoon clubs will meet

In the case of inclement weather, we will send an email informing/reminding you of this policy and letting you know if there are any changes. If weather interferes with club meetings, we will attempt to schedule makeup classes at the end of the club session.

I have a clubs question. Who can I talk to? Contact the VP for Before and Afterschool Activities (link), the before & after school club coordinators.
