Club Policies and Expectations
THIS REGISTRATION IS FOR SPRING SEMESTER 2026:
Unless otherwise marked in the club details, ORLA PTA clubs run for the length of the semester.
PLEASE CONFIRM YOUR CHILD’S INTEREST:
Our clubs are run entirely by volunteers who generously give their time and energy to create a positive experience for students. Because of this, we kindly ask that you only sign up your child if they are genuinely interested and motivated to participate.
When students attend without wanting to be there, it can cause disruptions that make it harder for others to enjoy and learn. To keep the club experience fun and meaningful for everyone, please have a conversation with your child before registering to make sure this is something they truly want to do.
Thank you for your understanding and for helping us keep our clubs a positive, supportive space!
NOTIFY THE ORLA OFFICE:
Also, please note that just like any other change in your child's afternoon transportation, you must notify the ORLA office and your child's teacher when they begin a club and if they will not attend a club on a given day or days.
PTA CLUB FEES DIRECTLY SUPPORT THE CLUBS:
Your contributions will be used to cover basic snacks provided for the kids during club activities. Any additional funds will go towards buying club supplies and bringing enrichment programs to ORLA. Your support helps us enhance the club experience and offer valuable opportunities for our students.
We understand that families have different financial situations, so we’ve got options for you. If the standard fee works for your family, please consider paying the full amount. If you need to pay less, consider becoming a PTA member for a discount code for clubs. Or, if any fee at all is a hardship, please email clubs@orlapta.org to request a club scholarship.
Club Sign-Up Instructions
Please use the form below to register for student clubs.
Please Note:
Each transaction must be for one student at a time.
During checkout, you may select multiple clubs for that individual student in a single transaction.
If you are registering more than one child, you’ll need to complete a separate transaction by starting over at the beginning of the form for each child. This is so we can collect the correct information for each student attending clubs.
Thank you for your patience as we work within the limits of our sign-up system to make sure we have the information we need to keep clubs running smoothly.
