Athletic Club Volunteers Wanted

We are excited to being our Athletic Club in April! Before we open our Athletic Club registration, we must first secure volunteers. The amount of volunteers we secure determines the number of students we can have in Athletic Club. This is the highest attended club at the school so we are in need of multiple volunteers. If you are available to volunteer on Wednesdays, please sign up using the link below. You do not have to commit to every week, but please see what you can do to help this club run successfully.

Do you have a child that is coming to Kindergarten next school year?

If so, please register your child as soon as possible, if you haven't already. We are getting full for next year and once we fill up, your child is not guaranteed to come here. You must register by the end of February to guarantee he/she will get in to Harris Creek Elementary since we are a capped school. Complete the online registration here: https://www.wcpss.net/domain/56 

 

Thank you for choosing to be a part of our school family. 

 

Sincerely,

 

Tracie Sanchez
