Westgate Elementary School

Class Placement

Class placement is on a first come first serve basis.
Class emails with additional information will be emailed to families at the end of the registration period. Payment is required online via credit card during registration
If a program has hit maximum enrollment, you may register to join the waitlist. You will receive an email if a spot opens up and will receive an online manual form to complete. You will have 24 hours to complete the form.

Class Withdrawals & Refunds

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 last day of the regular registration period, Baroody Camps cannot guarantee a full refund for any class(es). All refunds will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis & must be discussed with Baroody Camps directly. The Westgate PTA is NOT responsible for issuing credits/cancellations for any of the classes.

Arrivals to Programs

Teachers will receive an electronic and paper copy list of their students participating in Enrichment programs. At school dismissal, students taking classes are to report to the appropriate classroom. You will be notified which room your child should report to prior to the start of class. Children 1st-6th grades will not be escorted to the classroom by teachers. Parents must make sure children know which days to attend their class and to go to the appropriate room. Kindergarten parents - please confirm with the teachers when your child has an after-school class.

Please also feel free to remind SACC staff that your child will be attending class.

Dismissal from Programs

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.

Parent Pick-Up (Kiss and Ride): All children will be dismissed out Door #2 (The SACC Door). This door is the first door you see when you enter the Kiss and Ride loop. **As a reminder - please do not park directly in front of door #2 as this causes a backup to Magarity Road. Our On-Site Coordinator will be monitoring pick up to ensure children get into the appropriate car safely.
School Aged Child Care (SACC): Students attending SACC after school will be escorted to the appropriate location (SACC Door #2) following class.
Approved Walkers: Students will be released to leave on their own following class.

Changes to dismissal: Baroody Camps will provide each Westgate teacher and each enrichment programs instructor with a list of children participating in the various enrichment programs along with their dismissal instructions. You are responsible for notifying Baroody Camps ([email protected]) of any changes to your child’s regular dismissal process from his/her after-school program.

PLEASE NOTE: children are responsible for knowing when their classes are and for going there immediately after school dismissal on those days. Baroody Camps, the Westgate staff nor the PTA is responsible for a child who goes home instead of to class. It is the parent responsibility to have a plan in place for that situation. In addition, parents must make arrangements for their child's care immediately following the end of the after-school class.

Snacks & Allergies

Snacks will NOT be permitted at any time during programs. Program providers will be given an allergy list of students participating in their class. If your child has a medical condition and/or allergy, serious or not, please indicate this at the time of registration. If your child requires medication, please click HERE to complete our medication form.

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.

Standards of Behavior

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 Westgate 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.
