2022-2023 Beyond the Bell
Registration is Currently Open
Kindergarten - 5th Grade
Weekly registration must be completed by Wednesday, the week prior to your child's start date.
Huntley Park District offers the Beyond the Bell Before and After School program (formerly Extended Time Program) at School District 158 school locations. Beyond the Bell (BtB) is a quality supervised recreation program offered at the elementary schools to children who are enrolled in Kindergarten through 5th grade and currently attending D158 schools in person. Activities include homework time, gym games, outdoor play, sports, arts and crafts, and more. An afternoon snack and drink are provided daily. This program is not licensed or regulated by DCFS, and is recognized as a license-exempt program. Beyond the Bell is available for the days specifically listed and changing days of the week regularly is not an option. Spaces may be limited.
Fall 2022 registration will begin on Wednesday, May 11. Registrations will be accepted until Wednesday, August 10 at which point a temporary freeze on registrations will occur so Park District staff can communicate details of attendees to the school to coordinate the transfer of care before and after school. Once school begins, and pending any remaining available spots, registration will open back up. Once school begins and registration reopens, each week, any registrations that are done by Noon on Wednesday, will be reviewed and you will be able to join the program on Monday of the following week.
The Beyond the Bell Program will take place at five school locations in School District 158 including Leggee, Chesak, Martin, Mackeben, and Conley elementary schools. Please register for the AM and/or PM times at the school your child attends in person.
The program does not meet on regular school holidays. Please see our school days out information for child care options on days when children are not in school. In addition, if school is cancelled for snow, Beyond the Bell is also cancelled and the day will be included as a make-up at the end of the school year. Should there be a late start called for any school, morning BtB will be cancelled.

Fee and Registration Information
Weekly registration must be completed by Wednesday, the week prior to your child's start date.
At the time of registration, you will be charged for the first month of the program and subsequent charges will be made on the 15th of each month starting September of 2022 and ending in April 2023. There is no longer a separate registration fee as those fees have been rolled into your regular monthly fees; however, $50 of your initial payment is non-refundable.
All registrants will be charged monthly for their participation for the upcoming month. Fees are monthly and based on 174 days of school, divided into 9 convenient payments. All registrations REQUIRE an automatic payment method on file such as Debit Card, Credit Card, or ACH. If you wish to pay in person, a monthly payment method is still needed to complete your initial registration, but if you choose to pre-pay this each month, you may do so by the 10th of the month in person, and we will not charge your payment method on file that month. (Please indicate this to the staff person that is processing each month). You MUST still have a valid automatic payment method on file.
