after school clubs - spring 2020
The Ballast Point PTA is proud to launch after school clubs in the spring of 2020! Clubs will run for 9 Mondays, starting January 27 through April 6 (skipping no school days and spring break). Space will be limited and will be filled on a first come, first serve basis. Registration information coming soon. Four clubs will be offered for the first session:
EARLY ENGINEERING
Early Engineering utilizes science and math concepts to solve engineering challenges. During our Spring session we will learn about the mechanics of structures in the world around us. Students will design and create their own skyscrapers, domes, truss and suspension bridges. They will bring their prototypes home and then model their understanding of the models to their family and friends.
Grade Levels: k-2, 3-5
Cost: $180
MY LIL' YOGI
Join My Lil’ Yogi for story-based yoga classes on Monday afternoons! Children will practice dozens of poses in a storytelling format. Through fun and engaging classes, children build strength and confidence while learning to calm and refresh the mind.
Grades: k-2
Cost: $135
FITKIDS TAMPA
FitKids is a physical fitness program designed to introduce students to a lifetime of exercise and provide a foundation for all sports in a fun and inclusive environment. Students will progress from basic to advanced physical awareness through activities incorporating bootcamp training and track and field that develop and enhance agility, strength, endurance and flexibility. Our coaches are all fitness professionals with backgrounds that include certified personal training, US military training, collegiate athletics and fitness focused college degrees.
Grades: k-2, 3-5
Cost: $130
TOTALLY ART - THE PREP OF SOUTH TAMPA
Join us for a drawing class that exposes children to many types of mediums and helps them understand that there are no mistakes in art! Your fridge will be full of beautiful masterpieces.

Dismissal
Dismissal is at 2:15p.m. Vendors will drop after school care students at READ and HOST. Students being picked up via walk-up/carline are brought to the front of the school and a PTA volunteer will assist with getting the children into the cars. Vendors check the students names off as they are sent with their parents.
Code of Conduct
Strict adherence to after school club policies is a MUST. Infractions may result in your child’s dismissal from the program. The safety of the children is the main concern. Children are expected to attend clubs each week unless an absence is noted. PTA volunteers are NOT responsible to look for children if they do not want to attend class. Clubs are not a substitute for aftercare.
Please note that Ballast Point's code of conduct applies to each club. Classes are held on school property and children are expected to behave in an appropriate manner whether class is taught by an outside vendor.
First offense/disruption: warning- vendor sends notice home to family and records in log.
Second offense/disruption: phone call to the parents.
Third disruption: a suspension from one or more clubs with no fees refunded.
PTA clubs are led by outside vendors who are approved by the district to offer clubs on our campus. All of our vendors have to adhere to Hillsborough County class size regulations based off of the number of their available staff conducting clubs on the Ballast Point campus.
