See below for an example of what an enrichment schedule *could* look like.
We use Givebacks for registration.
You will NOT pay for classes at the time of registration. You will pay the instructor directly on or before the first day of class. Look for a welcome email from the Enrichment Team or from the instructor letting you know how they wish to receive funds (check, cash, Venmo, etc.).
NOTE: When you add classes to your cart in Givebacks, it will NOT hold your spot. Your spot is not held until you complete the checkout process in Givebacks. If you are concerned a class will fill up, we recommend registering for that class first by clicking "Buy Now," and completing registration for that class. Then, go back and complete registration again for the other classes you are interested in.

The mission of the after-school enrichment program is to give students access to affordable and fun activities that conveniently meet at school after dismissal.
Teachers range from Fairfax staff, parents, and community members. The instructors are community members that would like to share a special skill or talent with the students of Fairfax. All instructors have had a background check.
Equitable: To ensure as many students as possible can participate, our instructors generously set lower enrollment fees and PTA provides needs-based scholarships.
Inclusive: PTA promotes inclusivity by providing a wide range of activities that should appeal to a variety of students including Dance, Chess, Art, Drama, Legos and several sports such as Lacrosse, Pickleball, Basketball, and Flag Football.
Accessible: Activities meet at Fairfax directly after dismissal from 3:25 - 4:30 pm. This makes the program convenient and easy to access, and allows parents to extend the school day.
PTA provides needs-based scholarships for enrichment. Students can receive one scholarship for one class per session. If you are interested in a scholarship, email PTA at fairfax.enrichment@gmail.com with your student's name, grade and the activity they are interested in taking.
Q: How do I know if I should request a scholarship?
A: Scholarships are needs-based. If you feel like your student(s) would not be able to participate in enrichment without a scholarship you should request one. We want to include as many students as possible with our limited amount of funds.
Q: What if I can’t pay the difference after the scholarship has been applied?
A: If you are having financial difficulties and cannot pay the difference you will have the option to request a larger scholarship amount or a full scholarship amount when you apply for the scholarship. We strive to make sure all students can have access to the enrichment program.
Q: Can I donate to the scholarship fund?
A: Yes when you enroll for enrichment there will be an option to donate to our scholarship fund.
