The mission of all programs that Timberline Middle PTSA offers and supports is to openly welcome every student and have all programs offer equitable participation across all grade levels.
Any TMS student may participate in enrichment programs on a first-come, first-served basis.
PTSA Programs are open to middle school students in the Timberline community. Student participants/their families do not need to be PTSA members.
All registration is on the TMS PTSA website. Each program has its own registration link.
Families should email our VP of Programs sufficiently in advance to discuss any access requirements or accommodations needed for their child: [email protected]
A limited amount of need-based financial assistance is available. Families should contact the school counselor assigned to their student to make a request and specify if full or partial funding is needed. In the event that there are more requests than we are able to fund, a lottery to choose the recipients may be held.
No refunds will be granted. In addition, no transfer of fees will be allowed to any other program or student. Exceptions for extenuating circumstances will be at the discretion of the PTSA Board.
There are no refunds for student absences.
If a program is canceled by the PTSA, all fees, including transaction fees, will be refunded to the payer. If a refund is initiated by the payer, transaction fees (e.g. PayPal fees) will not be refunded.
A program may be canceled in its entirety due to lack of enrollment, lack of volunteer support, or other unforeseen circumstances. If the cancellation takes place due to unforeseen circumstances after a program starts, a prorated refund will be granted to all participants.
An individual class may be cancelled due to weather or unforeseen circumstances. Cancellations will be brought to the attention of all participants as soon as possible and a make-up class will be arranged if possible. There are no make-up classes for students who are absent from class.
The class schedule will be posted on the program webpage and sent to parents/guardians by email.
Students are required to sign in on the daily attendance sheet.
Parents/guardians are responsible for notifying the Program Chair if their student will be absent from an enrichment class or needs to leave early. If a student does not sign in on the enrichment class attendance sheet, and the Program Chair was NOT notified of the absence, then the parent/guardian and/or emergency contact will need to be contacted.
Students are expected to stay for the entire class/event unless previous arrangements have been made with the Program Chair, or a parent/guardian signs them out.
For after school programs, students are responsible for getting themselves to the enrichment class.
For enrichment classes/events occurring in the evening, parents/guardians should have a plan in place for how their student will get to the event. The PTSA is not responsible for the student until the student signs in for the class.
Families should have a plan in place for how the student will get home once the meeting is over (parent pick-up, walking, biking, etc.) All students will be released to walk home or wait in the pickup area after class is over. Direct supervision by PTSA volunteers or class instructor will not be provided once students are released from the building.
Building rules are still in effect after hours (e.g., no running in the halls, cellphone use, etc.). Appropriate classroom behaviors are expected even after school. Students will take
responsibility for their own learning. Students will respond to instructors in a respectful manner. Students will behave in a safe manner in relation to themselves, others, and property.
If a behavior issue cannot be satisfactorily resolved, the parent/guardian may be required to attend the class with their student or to withdraw their student from the program without refund.
Students are responsible for their personal belongings. The PTSA is not responsible if students’ personal belongings are lost, stolen, or damaged.
We are legally required to have at least one volunteer chaperone in every class. The chaperone must be at least 18 years old, a PTSA member, and a district-approved volunteer. Some classes will require more than 1 chaperone to run more efficiently.
If there is no chaperone available, class must be cancelled.
