After School Enrichment Classes - Fall 2023
Here is the Fall 2023 class schedule. Prices are listed in 6crickets, an online registration tool.
Fall Enrichment registration will open Sunday, 9/17 at 7pm and close Sunday, 9/24 at 7pm.
Fall classes will begin on Monday 10/2 and run until winter break (with no classes: 10/13, 11/10, Thanksgiving week, and 12/15)
For these programs to run, we need volunteers! Volunteers ensure students get to the correct classrooms and are all picked up after classes end. Use this form to sign-up to volunteer and get a free class.
The PTA coordinates with after-school enrichment providers to offer various after school programs during three sessions: fall, winter, and spring. Sign-up for these programs is through 6crickets and begins a few weeks before each session. Classes tend to fill up quickly. You should create an account and pre-register your student to be ready when registration opens.

After School Enrichment Programs Registration
To Register: We use an online registration tool called 6Crickets. You will be able to register and book all of your classes through this website. Follow the steps below:
Once you are logged in, under My Account, click on Edit Students. Fill in all of the required information for every child you are registering. [NOTE: It is very helpful for us if you can enter your child's AFTERNOON teacher. Also, some of the fields are required by 6Crickets and not by us (for example: "Please set a password to use for picking up your child" and "Insurance Information"). You cannot leave them blank, but you can fill them with anything.]
It will show up as "Complete" when you are finished. You are set up to register for classes!
NOTE: Please note that your payment for your class will not go through until seven days prior to the start of class. Any credit card fees or other administrative fees that are charged by 6Crickets are NON-REFUNDABLE, under all circumstances. Class providers will tell us 10 days prior to the start of class if a class needs to cancel due to low enrollment. So to avoid an issue with fees, credit card orders will not process until seven days prior to the start of class.
Use the Parent’s Guide if you need help registering for 6Crickets. Under My Account, click on Edit Profile. Here you can enter your credit card information and opt out of email subscriptions if you wish (otherwise you will start receiving 6Crickets emails and newsletters).
If you are not seeing the classes specific to McDonald: From the 6Crickets.com homepage after logging in, click the Parents blue button, then "Programs at your School". In the drop down menu, select our School Portals by finding McDonald International School (Seattle, WA), then click [Register].
There are no classes held during school holidays. Actual scheduling may vary by class provider.

Creative Coding - Virtual After School Enrichment
Creative Coding has been a part of McDonald PTA’s After School Enrichment Program and continues to offer their classes as virtual after school coding classes.
Class Description - Creative Coding online uses your child’s own creativity to make learning coding fun, as they write their own, unique computer game. Your child’s own ideas are more interesting and motivating to them than any “class assignment”. Our caring, supportive teachers use positive reinforcement and proven, project-based learning to help your child succeed at their own pace. Social interaction between kids is half the fun, as they share and play each other’s games in a supportive, welcoming environment. Registration link - https://creativecoding.com/onlineclass/
