Registration
All registration is first-come-first-serve, meaning we cannot guarantee a spot for your student(s). The registration dates listed below are to help ensure that returning families have the ability to get a spot again in the program.

Returning Registration For 2020/21 School Year
Returning Registration is for families who participated in BACpack program for the 2019/20 school year. Parents will need to turn in their forms on the scheduled registration dates listed below, to hold their spot for the 2020/21 school year.

If families have a student(s) who participated in the 2019/20 program and have a new student(s) starting school, that new student(s) may be registered as a Returning Registration.

If you miss the scheduled dates to turn in your student(s) registration, you are still able to submit it before they participate. This does not guarantee your student(s) will have a spot for the 2020/21 school year.

Montrose
Tuesday, April 7 at 4:30 pm - 6:30 pm in the Cafeteria
Wednesday, April 8 at 4:30 pm - 6:30 pm in the Cafeteria

Maryland

New Registration
New registration is for student(s) who have not participated in the 2019/20 BACpack program. Registration will be online, using the recreation's registration page with ActiveNet. New registration will not be guaranteed a spot in the 2020/21 program since the program is dependent on availability of space to the number of students. If you miss a registration date we will still take your registration, but again this does not guarantee your student(s) a spot for the 2020/21 school year.
