Important Club Information

New Pinecrest Clubs for the Spring are here. Please read through all of the information below as it entails everything you need to successfully enroll your child if you are interested.

• Spots are limited and enrollment is on a first come, first served basis.
• Registration opens Monday, December 12, 2022, and concludes on Wednesday, January 11, 2023.
• Club fees MUST be paid for in the Parent Portal in an app called FOCUS. Focus is NOT available in the Student Portal.

Enrolling your child in a club is a wonderful way to create community and have your child feel connected to others with a similar interest. However, the only way to successfully enroll is with an MDCPS Parent Account. This is accomplished with the instructions below. Please know this is an ESSENTIAL step in being able to enroll your child in a club.

Please see links below for how to register for a parent account.

Instructions for Enrolling in a Club

Step 1 - Create a Parent Portal Account and link your students to your account using a PIN provided by the Main Office. You will need a pin for each of your students.

Step 2 - 24 hours after successfully linking your student(s) to your Parent Portal account, you may pay for a club in Focus using the directions available on our school’s website https://pinecrestelem.net/clubs/
