Enrichment FAQs

  • The Columbia Parent Association coordinates after-school classes with local businesses for Columbia students. Enrichment classes are meant to give students an opportunity to experience different activities such as music, art, dance, chess, and more! These classes are not meant to substitute for childcare. All classes are either held at the school or include transportation.

  • You can register for classes by using 6crickets.com. Start by selecting the blue button labeled. ‘Parents’ > ‘Programs at your school’ > then type ‘Columbia Elementary’ to see a list of classes available.

  • The Columbia Parent Association budgets each year for scholarships. If you are in need of financial assistance, please reach out to Alisson Bonner at Alisson.Bonner@bellinghamschools.org.

  • After registration, the instructor will communicate with you directly throughout the program via email. If a provider is late or needs to cancel class, they will provide as much notice as possible for any changes. However, caregivers are responsible for their own arrangements for children in the event of changes.

  • All enrichment programs are coordinated with the school. Caregivers do not need to be present after school to ensure students make it to the beginning of class. Caregiver pick up is always at the blacktop near the play shed unless specified otherwise.

  • We welcome parents to teach enrichment classes! Classes can be as simple as gathering kids to trade pokemon cards, building legos, or supervising play outside! Contact the enrichment coordinator at columbiaenrichment@gmail.com.
