Burbank Workshops

 

BASEC @ Burbank Workshops Spring 2023

 

BASEC Workshops are enrichment classes that promote deep exploration into topics of interest for BASEC students. When space is available, BASEC Workshops are opened to the greater Burbank community. Children who don’t usually attend after school are encouraged to take BASEC Workshops.

THERE WILL BE TWO SESSIONS OF WORKSHOPS DURING THE 2022 – 2023 SCHOOL YEAR. LOOK FOR ENROLLMENT FORMS IN SEPTEMBER AND EARLY MARCH.

  • Fall/Winter Session: October 17, 2022 – January 20, 2023
  • Spring Session: March 27, 2023 – June 9, 2022

PLEASE NOTE:

BASEC Spring Workshops will open first to current before and after school students on Wednesday, March 1, 2023.

On Tuesday, March 7, 2023 Workshop registration will then open to the great Burbank community (i.e. Burbank students not already registered and enrolled in BASEC @ Burbank Before or After School Programs) and remaining spots in Workshops will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

Per our licensing regulations, all students participating in BASEC Workshops must register and complete our enrollment information form for BASEC and pay a one-time registration fee of $95. We will email you the online link to these forms. This process then qualifies your child to participate in BASEC programs for the 2022-2023 school year, including workshop sessions, added or scheduled before and after school days and vacation camps.

If your child is currently enrolled in before or after school, you do not need to register for BASEC – you are already fully enrolled! You may just register for the Workshops that you would like below. If your child is not currently registered for BASEC for the 2022 – 2023 school year, you may register for the Workshops below, pay the one-time registration fee and then we will email you our enrollment form that will need to be completed and returned before Tuesday, March 21, 2023.
