Fall 2026
After-School Clubs
We are happy to offer both teacher-led and community-based clubs. Teacher-led club registration will open at 7 PM on Tuesday, September 22 and close at 10 PM on Friday, September 25. Selection will be on a first come, first served basis until spots are filled. Community-based club registration is run via each business’s website. Go directly to their sites to sign up!
Clubs run for eight sessions starting the week of October 5 and are held from 3:30-4:30 PM on days school is in session. Clubs will not meet on early release days. Parents are responsible for picking up their children at 4:30 PM on club days unless they are reporting to SACC or have been given permission to walk home. Please note that for students who are walking home, there is no crossing guard available at that time.
Financial aid for teacher-led programs is available on a limited basis. You must reach out to Elizabeth Romeo at emromeo@fcps.edu to determine eligibility and receive a code to use during registration. In order for the staff to process fall financial aid requests in a timely manner, they must be received by no later than September 21. After this deadline has passed, we won’t be able to accommodate additional requests.
Registration for Fall clubs will open September 22 at 7pm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Thank you for your interest in our after-school programs! We encourage all families to please read and review the following FAQs before enrolling. Can’t find an answer to your question? Feel free to email us at afterschool@bonniebraepto.org.
#1: Will clubs meet on early release Wednesdays?
No, clubs will not meet on early release Wednesdays. Even if your child is staying at school until 3:15 p.m. for aftercare, there will be no club sessions held.
#2: A club I’m interested in is full. Can you add my student to a waitlist or ask the instructor to add another spot?
While we certainly understand the disappointment of not getting a spot in a desired club, our software system doesn’t allow for a waitlist, and the maximum number of students per club is set by each instructor prior to the start of enrollment. We do speak with our instructors about potentially adding additional sessions or a second teacher in order to increase capacity the next time we offer clubs. In the rare event that a student has to disenroll from a club, a spot will reopen on Zeffy. Due to the volume of emails we receive, we likely won’t be able to respond to individual waitlist requests or requests to increase the size of clubs. Thanks for understanding!
#3: Can I fill out one registration form for more than one student?
No, you will need to fill out separate forms in Zeffy for each student you wish to enroll. You can, however, enroll the same student in multiple clubs on the same form.
#4: I accidentally enrolled my student in the wrong club. Can you manually transfer him or her into a different club?
Our software system does not allow us to do this. Any student enrolled in a club that is not of the right grade level will be unenrolled, and the registration fee refunded. You are then welcome to enroll in a different club that still has openings.
#5: Can I request financial aid once enrollment opens?
We kindly ask that all financial aid requests be sent to Elizabeth Romeo at emromeo@fcps.edu. In order for the staff to process fall financial aid requests in a timely manner, they must be received by no later than September 21. After this deadline has passed, we won’t be able to accommodate additional requests.
#6: I missed the enrollment period. Can you add my student to a club or switch him/her to a different club after the deadline?
After enrollment closes, we will be finalizing the rosters for the school administration and will be unable to make any further additions or swaps to other clubs. Due to the volume of emails we receive, we likely won’t be able to respond to individual messages requesting club additions after registration has closed. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding!
