For safety reasons students must be enrolled for one set schedule for the entire school year. The fee for the month will only vary based on the number of school days in each month. Monthly invoices are based on the contracted days signed up for at registration and are expected to be paid in full each month. SWITCHING DAYS IS NOT AN OPTION. Missed days, regardless of the reason, cannot be made up, nor will they be refunded from your tuition amount. If circumstances arise where you need to change your contracted days you must submit a Contract Change Form by mail, fax or email to Lisa Varrasso, PreK-6 Student Activities Director. Only this form will be accepted for changes. These changes must be for the remainder of the school year. Forms should not be handed to staff members or transferred through children. If you fail to give the proper notice you will be obligated to pay your contracted amount even if your child did not attend the program.

Contract Change forms must be received by the 14^th of the month and will become effective as of the 1^st of the following month.

The Contract Change form can be found on the Forms & Documents page.

Children may not be picked up by anyone other than a parent, legal guardian, emergency contact or person listed on their authorized pick up page. Anyone picking up a child must have a photo ID. Written permission is required with any change to your child’s pick up. Each parent must complete an authorized pick up page that will be kept on file throughout the entire school year. Please notify the Before and After School Care staff of any time changes that need to be made.

LATE PICK UP POLICY -The Before and After School Care Program closes at 6:00PM. If you are unexpectedly unable to pick up your child by 6:00PM you will be assessed a late fee of $5.00 PER CHILD for every 15 minute block of time that you are late. For example: pick-ups between 6:01-6:15PM will be charged $5.00/child; pick-ups between 6:16—6:30PM will be charged $10.oo/child; pick-ups between 6:31-6:45 will be charged $15.00/child, etc. The late pick up fee will be due at the end of the week in which the lateness occurred. We do understand that occasionally traffic will cause a delay in your pick up time. However, please try to be considerate of our staff members because they may have appointments and family members to tend to also.
