Clubs at Lyseth

We’re delighted to announce our club offerings for Trimester 2 of our enrichment programming. Clubs are slated to start the week of January 20 and end the week of March 9. 

You can access the interest form here. You will have until Wednesday, January 7 to complete the form and indicate which clubs your student is interested in joining. If there are enough seats, all students interested in a given club will get in. If more students indicate interest than there are seats, we will go to a lottery. You will be notified within 48 hours after the interest forms close about the clubs your student has been invited to join. If your student did not receive a seat in a club, you will be notified via email and placed on a waitlist. Please check your spam or junk folder as our messages sometimes end up there.

Don’t see a club you would want for your student? Have a great idea or talent you want to share? We are always looking for more club leaders! Reach out to enrichment@lysethpta.org with ideas or to volunteer your expertise in leading a club!
