Fernwood PTSA would like to begin After School Enrichment Program Spring Session in April after Spring Break. We would like to find out information on the type of classes students would be interested in, and if you are willing to be a volunteer in a class. Please note this is an interest-only form for capacity estimation. Filling out the form does NOT guarantee the spot for the class. If interest exceeds maximum capacity, a computer generated lottery randomly determines the acceptance and wait list order of those who sign up the interest-only form. Class that does not receive enough interest to meet minimum requirement will be canceled.
Note: Please keep in mind that we require a PTSA parent/guardian volunteer to be a member of PTSA and be present during each enrichment session. This person can also help coordinate the class. The PTSA parent volunteers must complete the Northshore Volunteer Application Process in advance. If you are interested, please specify in the form below. Without a volunteer, the classes would be canceled.
Due to the recent challenges of finding parent chaperones, we decided to give priority (waive lottery) to parents who step up to be parent chaperones for the whole session. Please indicate your intention to be parent chaperone for the whole session in the interest form. Parents can only take advantage of this priority once. We will determine the parent chaperones of each class on first come first serve basis. To maximize access across the community, our standard policy for priority spots is one spot per family, except under certain circumstances. If there is no parent chaperone for the whole session, the class will be canceled even before lottery.
Classes are slated to begin after Spring Break in April. If you are interested, please sign up by filling out
the form linked here by March 8th at 11:59pm. Please include a parent/guardian email address and fill out a separate form for each child. Once lottery occurs, parents/guardian will receive an email no later than March 14th about the lottery status (accepted/waitlisted). Lottery winners will have 72 hours priority to register. After that, registration will open to waitlists.
Limited scholarship available for eligible students.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us fernwoodptsaafterschool@gmail.com. Thank you!

North Creek High School SPARK STEM Club:
We are a group of students from North Creek High School who are interested in STEM and want to impact our community. We decided to start this program last year, where we go to local elementary schools and volunteer to teach the children there about STEM topics. We are a fully student ran program, where everything from club coordination, lesson planning, and teaching is all done by students. We have already done club seasons at Canyon Creek Elementary, with great feedback from the kids and parents alike. We hope to allow more kids to discover new interests that they otherwise might not know they would like.
