CREATIVE SUMMER WORKSHOPS 2023
Welcome to the 39th year of the Creative
Summer Workshops of the Scotch Plains-Fanwood Public Schools! We are delighted
to provide another five-week program including the SPF Summer Instrumental
Music School.
Developed and conducted by the Scotch
Plains-Fanwood Board of Education, the Creative Summer Workshops have been
designed to offer a variety of enrichment for students. An experienced and
talented professional staff will once again lead progressive, challenging, and
exciting courses in a fun and engaging atmosphere. The program is open for
students who reside in Scotch Plains and Fanwood, as well as surrounding areas.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Creative Summer Workshops will be held
between Monday, June 26 - Friday, July 28, 2023, except for the Instrumental
Music Program which will conclude the evening of July 27th. There will be no
workshops on Monday, July 3rd and Tuesday, July 4th in observance of
Independence Day.
All workshops will operate DAILY between
9AM and 1PM. Workshops will be located at Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School.
Offerings are geared to the age and ability
of our students. Workshop titles bear grade references to those as of September
2023. These grade references should be viewed as guidelines and are not
intended to discriminate against students of other ages who may wish to
participate.
Registration is on a “first come, first
served” basis. Many workshops have limited enrollment and if they are filled
your child will be placed on a waiting list. The Creative Summer Workshop is
open to students from Scotch Plains and Fanwood, as well as all surrounding
communities. Registration is ongoing until classes are filled.
PLEASE
NOTE THAT REGISTRATION IS ONLY AVAILABLE ONLINE. PAYMENTS CAN BE MADE ONLINE
VIA CREDIT CARD OR PAID BY CHECK IF MAILED-IN OR DROPPED OFF TO THE SCOTCH
PLAINS-FANWOOD BOARD OF EDUCATION OFFICE WITHIN 4 DAYS OF REGISTERING YOUR
CHILD.
See individual workshops for tuition and
material fees. Tuition is all-inclusive unless fees for materials and/or
supplies are otherwise indicated in the course description. Students
should report at the appropriate time period and place on the first day of
class. Students will be notified in the event of schedule changes.
Many of the workshops will feature a “Show
and Share” session at the high school for families and friends on Thursday,
July 27th. Invitations will be sent home in July for this occasion. Our Music
School will have an evening performance Thursday, July 27 at 6PM in the high
school auditorium. All families of our musicians and all students enrolled in
the CSW are permitted to attend with their families.
Refund requests must be made in writing via
email and submitted by Friday, June 23, 2023. Unfortunately no refunds will be
granted once the Workshops have begun. If a student cancels prior to the first
scheduled class, the tuition fee minus a $10.00 administrative fee will be
returned.
The Coordinator reserves the right to limit class size and to withdraw or add courses and activities in the interest of all concerned. No participant may switch from one workshop to another once the Creative Summer Workshops have begun unless the Coordinator deems that a participant’s health condition warrants such a change.
