When do the clubs start?
Track & Field and Chess Club both start on Monday, March 13th. Gardening Club starts on Thursday, March 16th.
Chess Club
Sola Fide will have a student-led chess club for the first time ever! Chess club will meet on Mondays from 3:50 to 4:30 pm. Students do not need to know how to play chess to join the club. Space is limited to 20 students unless we secure an additional adult volunteer. First grade and older are eligible to join Chess Club.
Can I sign up for multiple clubs?
Yes, but…
We want to open as many opportunities to as many students as possible. If a student wants to participate in two clubs, but one of them fills up, we may ask that student to choose one club or the other to maximize opportunities for after-school engagement.
What does it cost?
Chess and Gardening Club are each $10 per student. Track and Field is $15. If a student ends up purchasing a uniform to participate in meets, the fee will be an additional $25. Fees will be billed in TADS unless other arrangements are made.
What about After-School Care and siblings?
We want to create opportunity. We want to accomodate your family’s needs. We also want to respect the time of the people who volunteer to supervise, coach, and organize. The pick-up window for clubs at Sola Fide is five minutes after the listed end-time of the club. If a driver does not pick up a student during that time frame, the student will be checked into after care and the family will be billed the after school care fee.
If a prospective club member has a younger sibling and you’re not sure what to do about after care for that child, please contact Mr. Schmiege so that everyone can get on the same page about expectations and plans.
