Welcome to the Dorsett Shoals Panther Clubhouse! We plan to provide a fun and safe environment for your child in the program. To ensure success, we would like for you to carefully read the following guidelines before signing.

I understand that Panther Clubhouse is an after school tutoring/enrichment program that is Grant funded and is offered free of charge to my child and to my family. I understand that daily attendance is required and our records are reviewed in order to receive continuous funding. Therefore, it is necessary that students enrolled in the 21st Century Program be required to stay and participate in the tutoring/enrichment activities offered during the hours of the program.
