Winter 2026 Afterschool Clubs
  • TLC K-5th Winter 2026 Afterschool Club Application

  • Thank you for taking the time to complete this application and carefully read the updates within it.

    Kinder-5th grade clubs will take place at CES, JES and MMES. With the exception of students from outlying schools, we will not mix students from different schools at any site. Therefore, students will remain at their school for all TLC afterschool clubs. Students from outlying schools are welcome to apply to clubs taking place at JES.

    To promote equitable and accessible educational opportunities, program enrollment is based upon a lottery system. *Applying for clubs on one or more days does not guarantee enrollment.*

    We are working with TCSD to continue providing an Evening Activity Bus from MMES to CES after clubs on Wednesdays and Thursdays. We will accommodate as many students as possible. Activity Bus spaces will be limited and will be filled according to lottery status. If a space is available for your student(s), we will reach out to invite you to take the space(s) and provide the next steps needed to do so. If your child is granted a space on the Activity Bus, you must notify instructors by 2:00pm day-of with any pickup related changes.

     

    Important Updates for the Winter 2026 Club Session 

    1. The application will close on November 30th. Any families who apply after November 30th will be automatically waitlisted. 

    2. We will notify families of enrollment or waitlist status on December 11th. All notifications will be sent via email. If your student is offered a space in club, it is required for you to email or call confirming your students space no later than August 12th. If TLC does not receive confirmation by August 12th, your student will be placed on the waitlist and we will reach out to you again if a space becomes available.

    3. Club will run from Monday, January 12th until Thursday, March 19th. If your student is likely to miss two or more clubs due to scheduling conflicts, for example, other clubs, sports, etc., we ask that you do NOT apply for the winter session. This is in an effort to prioritize students who can attend the full duration of club. 

    4. Completing this application does not guarantee a space in our clubs on one or more days. 

    5. This Winter, select students will be invited to take part in literacy small groups held across schools. These groups will provide enjoyable and focused reading and writing activities, designed to strengthen literacy skills in a fun and supportive setting.

  • TLC Student & Family Expectations

    Teton Literacy Center's Afterschool Enrichment Clubs and Tutoring Programs are free programs for students that promote school success and student wellbeing in a safe environment. In all of our Programs, we aim to guide student behavior in a positive way through providing examples and modeling desired behaviors as well as offering clear directions, reasoning and consequences. To accomplish the goals of our Programs, we have set out TLC’s expectations for our students and their families. Please take some time to review these expectations with your student before he or she starts our Programs.
  • Students must be respectful to the staff, volunteers and other students.  Students must respect other's physical space, physical safety and feelings. Staff and volunteers must also be respectful of students. 

    Students and families understand that TLC Programs may include students from different schools and diverse cultures, religions, races, languages and ages. Students must be kind to all and accepting of each other. 

    The use of culturally, racially or religiously insensitive remarks, mimicry, foul language or profanity is not acceptable at any time and will not be tolerated. 

    All students and families are expected to know and follow the rules of both Teton Literacy Center and Teton County School District. All Teton County School District rules apply when students and families are in Teton Literacy Center Programs. These rules include playground protocol, wearing shoes at all times, sitting while eating snacks, using “inside voices” and walking in the hallways. These policies are put in place to keep all students safe. 

    Parents or guardians are responsible for picking up their child on time at the end of the program.  Parents or guardians are also entirely responsible for arranging the student’s transportation to and from Programs.   

    Students must remain at their assigned locations for program activities until a parent or guardian signs them out or gives written permission for them to leave. If there is a change in pick-up plans – such as a student needs to leave early, will be picked up by someone else, or needs to walk home – their parent or guardian must notify instructors prior to 2:00 pm.  

    Students and families understand that there will be consequences for disruptive or dangerous behaviors, or for repeated violations of the rules set out here.  The consequences, which are entirely at TLC’s discretion, will depend on the severity and persistence of the student’s behavior.

    If there is a discipline problem, the TLC teacher will fill out a “Refocus Form” or “Incident Report,” depending on the severity of the problem. Parents or guardians will be notified in writing of the problem. TLC may schedule a family meeting. If the student persists in misbehaving after the family meeting, TLC may enforce a break in services while the student and family work to build more appropriate behaviors. 

    Acknowledgement of My Responsibilities as Parent or Guardian

    I have read and understood the policies and procedures listed above and agree to comply with them. I have also reviewed these policies and procedures with my child.  I understand that if my child or I fail to comply with these policies and procedures my child may lose his or her funded space within this program.

  • Club Registration K-5 Students ONLY

    Students will participate in clubs at the school they attend and will meet their TLC teachers in the cafeteria immediately afterschool. Students from outlying schools may sign up for clubs at JES. A reminder: Clubs will run from Monday, January 12 until Thursday, March 19. If your student is likely to miss two or more clubs due to scheduling conflicts, for example, other clubs, sports, etc., we ask that you do NOT apply for clubs on that day for the winter session.
  • MMES Students ONLY

    This winter, TCSD and TLC will continue to provide an evening activity bus to bring students from MMES to CES. We are working to be more intentional and equitable with our bus sign-up process to ensure highest need families are served first. Thank you for reading this page carefully.
  • Important to know:

    • All MMES families interested in the activity bus must answer the questions below to apply.
    • Families will be notified of their bus invitation/waitlist status December 15th, once TCSD confirms transportation. All invited families will be required to complete a form in order to accept their space on the bus.
    • These students will be automatically placed on the bus at the end of club every single week. If you need to pick up at MMES, you must contact the club teacher prior to 2pm.
    • If your student has received a space on the bus and is picked up from MMES more than three times, your space on the bus is subject to be removed. Thank you for understanding we have a lengthy waitlist for the bus! 
  • Notification emails will be sent on Thursday, December 11th. IMPORTANT: it is required that you email or call to confirm your student’s space. If you do not confirm your student’s space by December 17th, your student will automatically be dropped from the club, and will be placed on the waitlist. If a space becomes available a TLC staff member will contact you.
