Procedures and Guidelines
The following procedures and guidelines have been established for the After-
School Enrichment programs sponsored by the Sharon Public Schools for the
2021-2022 school year:
We now offer the ability to register and pay online through our website at
www.sharoncommunityeducation.com. There is no fee for this payment service.
All families, if you haven’t already done so, must create an account for your child
to be registered for enrichment, as this is the method for taking attendance.
Payment is required at time of registration.
If you have questions regarding any of these programs, please contact the
Community Education Office, 77 Pond Street, Sharon, 781-784-1574, between
the hours of 9:15 AM and 4:30 PM.
Acceptance will be on a first-come/first-serve basis. Should a class sell out a
waiting list will be created.
Each program has been scheduled according to the instructor’s availability, as
well as the facility in which the class will be held.
Activities are run only if the school is in session with the exception of classes
such as Ice Skating, Skiing, Tennis, as they are held at outside venues. Classes
are usually not scheduled on Early Release Days. In the event of postponement,
due to weather conditions or instructor unavailability, class may be extended at
the end of the scheduled session.
Snack is not provided. Students attending an enrichment session should bring a
snack from home.
The Sharon Public Schools reserves the right to terminate or limit a child’s
attendance in a program when, in the judgment of the staff, the child’s behavior is
inappropriate.
All programs are covered under the Town of Sharon’s liability insurance policy
while the programs are in session and are held on Town property. Outside
venues are covered by their own policies.
All After-School Enrichment Programs must be pre-paid in full and all waivers
MUST be completed and submitted. Waivers are found online at the time of
registration. They can be completed online and emailed to us or may be printed
out and mailed to our office.

If a child misses the Community Education Van for any reason, parents, then
emergency contacts will be notified, and they are responsible for driving the child
to the program.
It is the responsibility of the parents or guardians to notify the Community
Education office at 781-784-1574 prior to 2:00 PM, if their child will be absent
from the class. Communication with the child’s school does not reach us.
Children are expected to ride on the Community Education Van to all the
Enrichment Programs. If you choose to drive your child, stay with them, and
drive them home, you must notify our office of this alternate transportation for
each occurrence.
If a student has an outstanding tuition balance in any Community Education
Program, he/she will not be eligible to participate in additional Community
Education Programs, until the balance is paid.
Failure to pick up your child by the time indicated in the program description will
result in a penalty fee of $5.00 for each five-minute interval.
Refunds of registration fees are processed when classes are canceled dependent on
status of class. Refunds for withdrawals after the start of programs will require
approval from Community Education Office and the Instructor.
COVID-19 Update: Community Education will be beginning to provide
transportation to our Enrichment Programs. Masks will be required at all times by
staff and students during transportation. Please check off-site COVID-19
procedure plans under course descriptions.
