Club Day Information


Paine Intermediate students are excited about Club Day again this year!  Club Day is a special day for our students that occurs six times each semester.  Instead of going to their normal specials classes on Club Day, students attend a Club of their choice for 90 minutes.  Club Day dates for the first semester are as follows:  9/19, 10/3, 10/17, 11/7, 11/21, and 12/12.  Below I have outlined some helpful information about Club Day in a Q&A format in hopes that I can answer your questions about Club Day and the Club selection process.

 When will information about Club Day be sent home?

Mrs. Walls & Mrs. Waites' class Club Day forms went home on Friday 8/23.

How do I know what Clubs are offered?

Your child should bring home a handout entitled “Club Choices”.  This handout provides a description of each club that is offered in your child’s grade level.  You may also click on this link to take you to the Club Choices handout.  Please make sure you are looking at the club choices for your child’s grade level since they are different for each grade level.

How does my child sign up for a club?

Students should write down their top 4 club choices on the Club Day Selection Sheet with #1 being their first choice, #2 their second choice, etc.  Parents must sign this form acknowledging their child’s club choices.  Club Day Selection Sheets for 4th and 5th grade students are due by Wednesday, 8/28.  Third grade forms are due on Thursday, 9/5.

When will my child know his or her club placement?

Students will be notified of their club placement on or before Wednesday, September 18.

Will my child change clubs?

Students will participate in a total of two clubs this school year.  They will have one club placement for the first semester and one club placement for the second semester.

What if my child does not get placed in their first club choice?

We use Microsoft Excel to randomly sort students into clubs.  Students may not get their first choice, but they will be placed in one of their four choices.

If you have any questions about Club Day, please e-mail Mrs. Blake, 4th and 5th grade counselor, at lauren.blake@trussvillecityschools.com.

 Thank you,

Lauren Blake
