What is LSA?
Lawrence Special Activities (LSA) is a non-profit that offers after school enrichment classes for Lawrence students.

LSA classes run seasonally – there are 3 sessions of classes during each school year: Fall, Winter and Spring.

Classes are held after school and most are one hour long. Your child can sign up for one or two classes each day.

Registration is online through this website.

LSA will communicate with Lawrence families via Membership Toolkit for Sneak Peek, Registration and general announcements. Please make sure to sign-up for Membership Toolkit to receive LSA and Lawrence PTO emails. If you do not have an account you can create one here: https://lawrenceschoolpto.membershiptoolkit.com/

More questions about our program?

ABOUT: Lawrence Special Activities (LSA) is a non-profit program, offering after school enrichment classes for Lawrence students. Our goal is to provide a fresh and fun selection of courses every season, with enriching and enjoyable classes to suit the interests of every child.

Any proceeds from LSA go back into the program to directly benefit Lawrence School students.

REGISTRATION: Registration is online at https://lawrence.schooltwist.org. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. Popular classes fill quickly.

Please use common sense when selecting classes. You know your child best. If your child does not listen well and likes to run away or hide, please think carefully before registering them for a class that goes outside. If you have information about your child it would be helpful for the instructor or LSA staff to know. Please be aware that if your child receives additional support from aides in the classroom, they are not present during LSA classes.

Scholarship Tuition:  Tuition support may be available for those who need it. Tuition assistance is based on financial need and requests will be confirmed by the administration for consideration. Class tuition may require some financial participation from the family. Tuition assistance for eligible students is limited to one class per session. Decisions will be made by the last day of open registration. Please note that financial aid pricing will only be applied to classes that do not have a Wait List. A Scholarship Tuition request is made during the Registration process.  Scholarship Tuition may vary from session to session and is not guaranteed from one session to the next. Any questions please contact LSA co-Directors at: LSAdirector@lawrenceschoolbrookline.org. Please note that if Scholarship Tuition is approved, it is expected that the student will attend a majority of the classes. If there is significant absence from the class, the student/family may not be considered for Scholarship Tuition in the future.

DISMISSAL:  Parents should indicate during registration whether their child will go back to LEDP, be picked up after class by arrangement or walk home /go outside alone. After class, children in K-2 will be walked out to an assigned door of the building for dismissal to be picked up by a parent/responsible person.  Please do not be late for pick up.  Students 3rd grade and older can leave the class and building on their own.  LSA is not responsible for children after dismissal.

ATTENDANCE: LSA takes attendance during classes for internal purposes. LSA may contact parents to make sure they are aware if a child is missing from class.

Children in Kindergarten will be brought to their LSA class from their home room by an on-site monitor or 8th grade helper.  Children in other grades are expected to get to and from their LSA classes by themselves.  Their home room teachers will tell them where to go.

CHILDREN IN LEDP: Children in LEDP must report to that program before going to an LSA class. Please note during registration if your child is in LEDP on the same day as their LSA class. LEDP will give parents a consent form authorizing them to release children to LSA classes.

BEHAVIOR: LSA seeks to enrich our children through extra activities done in a fun and cooperative setting. In order to preserve a productive learning atmosphere for all students, LSA reserves the right to remove any child disrupting a class. When a child misbehaves in class we will contact the parent / guardian. If a child persists in behavior that negatively impacts the group, he or she will be withdrawn from the class. No refunds will be given.

REFUNDS: If a class is cancelled due to under-enrollment, tuition will be refunded. NO REFUND IS AVAILABLE TO STUDENTS ONCE CLASSES BEGIN. We do not refund tuition for individual missed classes. If you request a refund that is not due to under-enrollment or the request is before the session starts and that request is granted, an Admin Fee/Convenience Fee will be deducted from your refund.

INSURANCE: All children must be covered by health insurance in order to participate in the program.

SCHOOL HOLIDAYS, VACATIONS, SNOW DAYS AND EARLY RELEASE DAYS: Classes will not be held on these days. If an indoor class is canceled due to weather or teacher’s absence we will make every effort to have a make-up class on the same day of the class, one week after the last regularly scheduled class. If an outdoor class is canceled due to weather or teacher’s absence we will make every effort to have a make-up class when possible.

DISCLAIMER: By registering for LSA classes, each parent, guardian, spouse and child, and on behalf of all heirs, assigns, personal representatives and next of kin, agrees to INDEMNIFY, RELEASE AND HOLD HARMLESS Lawrence Special Activities and its directors, board members, coordinator, treasurer, instructors, contractors, employees, volunteers, other participants, sponsoring agencies, and if applicable, owners and lessors of premises used to conduct the classes (“Releasees”), WITH RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL INJURY, DISABILITY, DEATH, or loss or damage to person or property incident to their child’s involvement or participation in these programs, WHETHER ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASEES OR OTHERWISE, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
