Contact Information
The After-School Clubs are led by teachers and partner organizations and are overseen by our Student Activities Coordinator, Alexandra Gamboa. Please reach out to her directly at gamboaforerod@skokie69.net, if your child will be absent, leave early, or if you have any questions about clubs.

Registration
After-School Clubs is done through the parent portal in Infinite Campus. Please be sure to follow the ASC step-by-step instructions to register for clubs. Registration for Spring After-School Clubs will open on Wednesday, March 12 and close on Friday, March 14.

Fees are due by Friday, April 4 and clubs will begin on Monday, April 7.

Please note:

If you register your children for After School Exploration (ASE), further actions are not required. Your children will have access to a club every day.
For After School Club (ASC) registration, please be sure you register only for a club you want. There is no “delete” option once your child is registered, which makes your child ineligible to register in a different club option.
Currently, only one club per student is allowed. If you attempt to register a child for multiple clubs, the registration will be voided. Please, contact our Student Activities Coordinator to see if there are spots available for registering in more than one club.
If you have multiple children, only register one child at a time (do not do multiple registrations in one session). After registering one child, then log out and re-log in to complete the registration for another child.
Please be sure to complete all the registration steps, and save the receipt for your records.
If the club is full, you may sign up for the waitlist. We will contact you if a space in the club becomes available, or if there is an alternative club that has spaces.
To view your club registrations, click on “My Activities” in the Infinite Campus portal. You will also receive an email confirmation with club information during the week prior to the session start date.
If a child withdraws from the club prior to the session beginning, a refund will be issued (or fees removed). After the first club session, there are no refunds.
Reach out to the Student Activities Coordinator if you registered your child for a club but would like to make a change (after the registration window closes). We will try to accommodate your request but there is no guarantee we will be able to do so
