The Wappingers Board of Education recognizes the need for community support of its programs. As a way to ensure consistency of booster organizations throughout the District, a registration form must be on file each year.
The booster club must be registered in order to begin any fundraising activities or request approval for overnight field trips. All clubs must fill out an Annual Booster Club Registration Form, which requests contact information for the booster club officers, along with proof of a federal tax ID number, by-laws, a letter from a bank confirming an open account in the name of the booster organization, and an estimated budget. Once submitted, an email confirming the registration will be sent to the Club President.
