FAQ

What if I have 2 or more children? Can we be assured that they can all participate?

Yes! If the lottery selects one of your children, we will automatically select your other children.

What is this "lottery" about anyway?

This is a new plan we are trying this year to increase accessibility and equity for all families. Some families are not able to sign up right away and we still want their children to participate. We will randomly select participants when we close the lottery, and then families will be notified via email or text.

You mentioned scholarships?

Yes! The PTA would love to give out scholarships to cover part of the tuition for the parent-paid activities. Please reach out to enrichment@broadviewthomsonpta.com.

What if my child doesn't get selected for an activity?

If your child does not receive a spot during this round of after-school activities, we will make every effort to select them in the next round. i.e., if they do not get to participate in fall drama club, we will try our best to include them in winter drama club.

My child didn't get selected for an activity last time - how do I ensure they get in this time?

Please send a reminder email to enrichment@broadviewthomsonpta.com.

Are the activities the same each trimester?

Many of the activities will be offered several times per year, and some will change slightly. For example, 4th-8th-grade drama club may turn into preparation for the school musical production in the spring.

I have more questions, who can I contact?
