You will need to create your family's account prior to registration.

You can view the class schedule now, but classes will not be open for signup until August 29 at 9am.

PayPal is the only method of payment. PayPal accounts can be linked to bank accounts and credit cards.
Grant Request: To request a grant, email the EDGE team at edge@holmespto.org by Aug 26. Please provide your child’s name and grade. Grants are available to children who qualify for free or reduced lunch. We have 50 grants available. The grant allows a student to take any EDGE course for a fee of $20. The $20 fee is paid by the parent/guardian. Grants are limited to one class per child per EDGE session. Grant requests will be honored in the order received until 50 grants have been provided and/or the deadline of Aug. 26 has been reached. Grants may not be issued after Aug. 26.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ’s):

When can I register for classes?
You can go online anytime to setup your family account, but classes will not be open for registration until August 29 at 9am. Class registration will close on September 4 at 5pm. Remember your password if you set up your account early!

What if I miss the registration period? Can I register late?
Unfortunately, no. Each registration requires multiple steps and our small team of volunteers is not able to keep processing registrations after the registration period.

How do I know if my child got into our first choice class?
You will know immediately if your child got into the class you choose. If it is full, there is a wait list available for the first 5 children, otherwise, no further registrations will be allowed.

If I register online, do I have to pay by credit card?
No. You must pay by PayPal, but PayPal accounts can be linked to bank accounts and credit cards.

When is my payment due?
Payments are due immediately upon registering for a class. If payment is not made within 48 hours, ClassTrack will automatically cancel the registration. This is to allow other families the opportunity to sign up.

How are EDGE registration fees used?
We pay the majority of fees collected to EDGE instructors. We also pay the EDGE assistant, fees for PayPal, and fees for the ClassTrack software. Any remaining fees support grants and PTO programming.
