Registration for Elementary Art Club
Program Overview
Blue Mouse Art Club generally follows the calendar for Cambridge Public Schools. Art Club starts on or after the first full school day for the corresponding grades.

On no-school days, we do not offer Art Club unless indicated otherwise. Once the CPS calendar is finalized, we will list specific dates here.
In case of inclement weather, we cancel Art Club if Cambridge Public Schools are closed for the day or close early for the afternoon. We will send notifications as early as possible to the email contacts on file.
If we have to cancel the program for reasons beyond our control, we will inform parents as early as possible via email.

Registration Process
Step 1: Application
Use the link below to fill out our online application form.
Step 2: Confirmation
Once we receive your application, we will send you an email response confirming that we have a spot for your child available. Expect to hear from us within 24-48 hours (excluding weekends).
Please hold your payment until you hear from us!
Step 3: Payment
After you receive a positive response from us, we will hold your child’s spot for 3 full business days (72 hours) until we receive or arrange your payment.
Please choose a payment option below.
We do not take payments for pickups at King Open School at this point ($50 per program day for the half-year term). We will collect these payments later, when transportation schedules have been finalized and confirmed.
If you would like to apply for a scholarship to pay a reduced program fee (we are unable to offer free participation at this point), please send us an email with detailed responses to the following questions:
1) Describe your family’s financial situation. How much would you be able to pay monthly for your child’s participation in Art Club?
2) Describe your child. Why do you think they would be a great fit for our program and deserve a scholarship for Art Club?
