covid-19 enrollment and summer camp update

Registration for the 2020-2021 school year will open Thursday, May 14, at 2:00 pm. An online application form will go live on our registration page as well as a downloadable pdf. Due to the uncertainty of the Covid-19 pandemic, and the possible extension of shelter-in-place orders, this application will serve as a "letter of interest" to attend the in-school program when it resumes. Deposit fees will not be taken at this time. Applications will be reviewed, and priority placement is given to children with a parent working in an essential services profession (health care workers, first responders, teachers, etc.).
The safety of our students and staff has always been our highest priority. We will continue to monitor changes throughout the summer and are prepared to adapt, while still providing a fun, engaging, interactive program for our students. It is our intent to provide the following for the 2020-2021 school year: 

• A daily, on-site after school program at Maya Lin School 
• Small group enrichment for grades K-5, following safety protocols mandated by the California Department of Education, Center for Disease Control, and Alameda Unified School District 
• Continued support for families through our scholarship program 
• In the event that distance learning is still in place by August, we will continue to provide programming through AMP Virtual for all enrolled families. This will include both individual and group music instruction through online video and Google Classroom platforms.

Although we have temporarily suspended all in-person after school programming, BAMP staff has continued to serve the musical and social-emotional needs of our community by providing enriching, healing online learning experiences for our students. We look forward to providing the same high standards of care for your children this fall.

• Your child must be enrolled at our current service site (Maya Lin School) for the 2020-2021 school year.

Once all open spots are filled, additional submissions will be added to our waiting list. Families will be notified about their enrollment no later than July 15. 
• FINANCIAL AID: Bay Area Music Project seeks to ensure that all children have the opportunity to participate in music education regardless of circumstances. We offer scholarships for children from households qualifying for the federal free or reduced lunch program as well as anyone experiencing financial hardship but whose households have an annual income greater than the amount required to qualify for the free or reduced lunch program. To be considered, families must complete the financial aid application and provide supporting documents, including a tax return. If awarded a full tuition scholarship, your required enrollment fee (1 month tuition) will then be your total contribution for the year. Please be as clear and thorough on the application as possible. All information you provide is confidential and reviewed only by our board’s Scholarship Committee.​
• If you are applying for financial aid, please use the downloadable applications and submit with required documents.
• The 2020-2021 program year is August 17 through June 9th.
