• DUE TO COVID RESTRICTIONS,THE SPRING 2021 SESSION OF CLUBS/CLASSES IS LIMITED TO ORCHARD STUDENTS ONLY.

• IMPORTANT PARENT INFORMATION REGARDING SPRING 2021 CLUBS/CLASSES SESSION

  Dear Orchard Parents,
  
  We are so excited to be able to offer a small/short session of Clubs and Classes this Spring!  With all things COVID, we are tiptoeing back into our after-school offerings.  Things will look a bit different this go around.  We have restrictions and protocols that are in place to offer as safely as possible our students a fun and exciting extended program.  Please take note of the following:
  
  1.  ALL offerings will take place outdoors.  Classes have been assigned to a specific area for meeting and for parent pick up.  
  
  2.  We will not be mixing divisions.  This means that classes have been geared for 1st-4th or 5th-8th grade students.  This session our kindergarten students will not be able to participate since they fall under the EC division (multiage-KG).
  
  3.  Class times have changed a bit. Classes will run 3:45-4:45 p.m.  After School Musical will end at 5:00 p.m.  In order to safely move students to their designated area for their class, they will remain in their classrooms until pick up is over.  They will then be called to move to their meeting area.  Students will be encouraged to use the restroom during their wait time in the classroom (3:20-3:45) as all classes will be outside.  No changing of clothes will be allowed for clubs/classes (i.e. Karate, etc.).
  
  4.  We will be limiting the number of offerings this session to safely manage how many students will be in our outdoor areas.  We will also limit the maximum number of students per offering to 10 to help with social distancing.
  
  5.  Masks must be worn at all times.  We will not be having any snack breaks during the clubs/class time.  Students may take their water bottles with them (this will be encouraged, as students will not be coming back into the building). Students and teachers must remain socially distance during class time and during pick up time.  Hand sanitizer, extra masks and sanitizing wipes will be provided for each class daily to use as needed.
  
  6.  We have built two weeks of rain dates into the schedule.  This session will run April 5-May 7, 2021.  May 10-14 and May 17-21 have been assigned as rain dates/weeks, if needed.  Since we have built in rain dates for inclement weather, teachers/vendors will not be offering refunds for missed classes.  Hopefully we will not need the rain dates and/or hopefully two weeks' worth will accommodate any and all classes this session.  No refunds will be given for students needing to miss for illness, this includes Covid.  Unfortunately, it is just too difficult to manage and we cannot extend into the rain dates for these students as it may only be for one or two students.
  
  7.  Pickup of students will occur at the class assigned area (noted on the Classes by Day Schedule).  Parents need to park their car IN THE PARKING LOT(S) and walk to their child's class area and sign them out with the class teacher.  [The front of the school is reserved for Kids Connect parents for pick up.]  Only students pre-registered for Kids Connect may transition from their club/class to Kids Connect.  All other students MUST be picked up at their scheduled time.  Please plan accordingly as there is not care available for students not picked up on time.  Students not picked up by 4:55 will be brought to the Center where we will promptly make phone calls for pick up.  Noncompliance/habitual lateness of not adhering to the proper pick up time may result in the student not being able to complete the club/class session.
  
  8.  The registration deadline is Friday, March 19, 2021.  Late registrations will not be accepted due to the Spring Break schedule.
  
  Thank you for supporting Clubs/Classes and our Extended Programs.  We love providing fun activities for our students and we cannot wait to be back having a blast together!  Feel free to reach out with any questions.  
  
  Take care and be well,
  Cindy Larsen

  INSTRUCTOR:  My name is Deb Matatall. I'm in my 18th year of teaching Spanish at The Orchard School. I have now taught all of the grades in the school except for 5th grade. My teaching career began in 1988 as a 2nd grade classroom teacher in Arizona. From there, I moved back to Indiana and began teaching 6th grade as a classroom teacher in Greenfield. I actually named my middle son after the school in which I taught ("Weston" Elementary)! I have three sons and was fortunate to be a stay-at-home mom for six years. After that time away from teaching, I thankfully came to Orchard to begin my career as the 7th and 8th grade Spanish teacher. All three of my sons are graduates of Orchard, and I wouldn't trade that blessing for the world. 
  
  Currently, I am teaching preschool through first grade Spanish. It is a blast, and I love working with this age group of kiddos. What joy they bring me each day! Which brings me to the interest I have in my after school classes! Both of the classes I am offering this session are mixed with ideas of what brings me peace and serenity. During these current days of such uncertainty, I am hoping that your child will find that kind of peace during my classes too.

Players will also be introduced to tactical elements and concepts of game play through weekly scrimmages.  We also use the platform that soccer provides us as a tool for teaching character development lessons each week.  Thus, players not only learn new skills and participate in fun games each week, but also learn teamwork, cooperation, leadership and confidence, etc.
