Registration for the after-school programs will be made through www.6crickets.com.
This registration tool will save time by allowing you to enter your information once and then quickly search and register your child(ren). It will also give you instant confirmation of your registration. 6crickets accepts most major credit cards.
Previous students: Parents are required to update children’s information each year. This includes grade, teacher, return to home plan, etc. This ensures children get to the correct classes they are registered for!
New students: We recommend going into 6crickets.com prior to registration opening and registering your child(ren) as classes will often fill up fast once registration opens.
When you are ready to register, go to www.6crickets.com.

Students who are staying on campus for after-school classes will need to be picked up by a designated parent or guardian at the time class is over. We DO NOT have school bus transportation home. Please come in through the main school doors and sign your student out with the PTA chaperone before leaving.
PTA wants to ensure that all students are able to attend after-school programs. To receive a scholarship for our Spring Session, please complete the Request for Financial Aid Form. Please have all requests submitted by (Fall '25 Due Date Coming Soon) for first access to classes. Please contact scholarships@roosevelt-pta.org with any questions.
In order to have these after-school enrichment classes onsite at Roosevelt, we need a volunteer chaperone to be present during the time of the class. They are there to help ensure the safety of our students. Chaperones are welcome to participate in the class but are NOT required to. Do you have a little one at home? Bring them with you! They can be your co-chaperone!
Who Can Be a Chaperone?
Parents
Grandparents
Community Member
Anyone who is a PTA member! Memberships can be purchased here. If the cost of membership is a barrier, please email president@roosevelt-pta.org to request a scholarship.
The Volunteer Chaperone should arrive 10 minutes prior to course start time and remain on Roosevelt’s campus until all students are released to designated pick-up persons from the roster.
Take attendance at the beginning of each class.
If a student is unaccounted for, the PTA Chaperone must report the absence immediately to the front office. In the event the absence was not excused or reported to the front office, the PTA Chaperone must immediately call, then email, the parent/guardian from the roster, then call the Enrichment Coordinator.
Release students to their approved pick-up person at the end of class.
** Please note that the PTA Chaperone is NOT expected to help the Instructor facilitate the class, supervise or discipline students, or execute any of the Instructor’s duties. The Instructor is responsible for ensuring that they are properly staffed to run the class without any assistance from the PTA Chaperone.
Priority enrollment to ensure your child gets a spot in the class(es) they want.
A free class for your student!
Complete the volunteer application through the Bellingham School District. Your volunteer status is valid for 2 years.
Please email our Volunteer Enrichment Coordinator if you would like to become a chaperone. We're always looking for back-up chaperones, too. There is no class discount or priority registration for back-ups, but lots of gratitude from the Roosevelt community!
