After School Enrichment

At Montlake, learning doesn't stop when the bell rings. Our PTA-supported after-school enrichment program sparks curiosity, builds friendships across grade levels, and creates meaningful learning experiences beyond the classroom. Our focus is on providing programs that are safe, inclusive, and respectful of school spaces.

Your support makes these programs possible! Below you’ll find what to know before class, how pickup works, and how we can all help things run smoothly.

Registration

All enrichment registrations are managed through 6crickets. Once you register, you'll receive a confirmation email directly from 6crickets. Before registering, please:

Create or update your student's profile.
Confirm your student's grade level, dismissal plans.
Update allergies, homeroom teacher, and any other relevant notes.
Review class descriptions and schedules.

Costs: The cost of each class varies by number of days, provider, and curriculum. Each transaction also includes management fees that help the PTA cover the onsite coordinator, provide financial aid, and support other costs involved in running the enrichment program.

Financial Assistance Available: We want every student to have access to enrichment. If cost is a concern, please reach out to the school counselor, Mr. Max, at meguerreroto@seattleschools.org. Scholarships are available, and we're committed to making enrichment accessible to all students.

Before the First Class: Checklist

Remind students which class they're attending each day.
Review where your student should go at dismissal.
Discuss behavioral expectations.
Pack an extra snack! Students will have a short snack break before class.

Student Behavior

Students participating in enrichment classes should demonstrate respect for themselves, others, and the learning environment. They are expected to follow the same behavior standards as during the school day.

Please review the Positive Behavior Support Plan (PDF) with your student before their first class.

Parent & Caregiver Responsibilities

We're partners in helping enrichment run smoothly. We appreciate your help with the following:

Know your student's class schedule and pickup location.
Pick up on time or arrange alternate plans if needed.
Communicate absences or schedule changes.
Help your student arrive ready to participate.

Student Absences

Please email the Enrichment Coordinator if your student will miss class, even if they are absent from school that day. Students may not skip enrichment class unless permission is received from a parent or caregiver.

Class Cancellations

Occasionally classes may be cancelled due to instructor absence. We recommend having a backup pickup plan in case a class is cancelled. If this happens, the Enrichment Coordinator will work with the front office to promptly notify families so they can adjust their pickup plans.

Dismissal & Pickup

Pickup times will vary by class and day. Please consult your student’s schedule and plan accordingly.

Parent/Caregiver Pickup: Students will be dismissed from the SE garden gate. Refer to the aerial map (PDF) of the school campus for the pickup location. Be prepared to present identification until instructors recognize you.
Independent Walkers: Email written permission in advance. Walkers must leave campus immediately after enrichment.
Launch Students: Will be escorted directly to Launch's aftercare program after enrichment classes end.
Let Grow Play Club: Students will transition directly to LGP following enrichment.

Late or Early Pickup?

Please do not contact the school office.

Email the Enrichment Coordinator in advance or call / text during enrichment hours.
Students not picked up within 10 minutes will join the Let Grow Play Club, and the standard drop-in fee may apply.
All students must be picked up by 6:00 PM. Late pickups may incur a fee that increases the longer a student remains on site.

Getting to Enrichment

Teachers and the Enrichment Coordinator help guide transitions, but a morning reminder from you makes a big difference in helping your student feel prepared.

After school, students will:

Go to the Commons area and line up behind the sign for their enrichment class.
Check in with their instructor who will take attendance.
Be escorted to their class by their instructor.
