FEES and FAQ'S

FAQ's 

When is tuition due? 

Payment must be made in advance of extended day program care. Extended Day Programs (EDP) are required to be self-sustaining. No program will be allowed to operate in the red, therefore, PAYMENTS ARE DUE EVERY MONDAY FOR THE FOLLOWING WEEK. 

**We will ONLY ACCEPT PAYMENTS ON MONDAY or TUESDAY, due to staffing and the inability to hold student money over night.** 

Any money brought in any other days will be returned to the student or parent. We will not accept cash or check payments on other days. Payments made online can be made any time. 

How do I pay tuition? 

Payments can be made by cash or check and sent in through:

1. The child’s communication folder (M/T)

2. Handed in at the front office in an envelope with the students NAME and EDP TUITION written on the envelope. NO loose cash or check will be accepted. (M/T)

3. You may pay online through the My School Bucks App. Please note there is a fee charged by the app for making payments this way. (M-F)

Are there late pick up fees for student’s not picked up by 6pm? 

YES. Late pick-up fees will be assessed at $2.00 per minute, per family, with a $20 a day cap. The director will monitor and document pick-up times of students. The late fee will be applied to the next week’s fees. Non-payment will result in removal from the program.

What happens if my tuition is not paid on MONDAY or TUESDAY for the following week?

A late fee of $10 will be added to the balance and the child/children will not be able to return to EDP until tuition is paid in full. 

The director will call and notify the parent to make plans for pick up the following week. 

If the parent brings in the tuition, plus the late fee on the following Monday, the student may stay, however, if this happens a second time or if the tuition is NOT paid by the following week, the student will loose their spot. It is important to never allow parents to become indebted to the program per district bylaws. 

If a child is removed, they may reapply to the program, but will be added to the waitlist in the order of their application and must pay the registration fee. 

Can I change the days my child attends? 

Please contact Ms. Cobb to discuss any changes. All changes must be submitted in writing. If staffing is available, we are happy to work with you to accommodate your needs, however, we do not guarantee needs can be accommodated. 

Do I pay even if my child does not attend? 

Parents will pay for what they register for when they enroll their child in the program: full week, half week or a specific day. No reductions for sick leave, including illnesses such as COVID, or other absences are to be made. You pay weekly, regardless of whether or not your child attends. 

Should I keep my receipts? 

YES. Parents should be reminded at registration to keep all payment receipts for tax purposes. The Greenville County Schools’ Tax ID #57-6000234. 

All payments made by cash or check will be given a receipt by the school sent home via the EDP Director. It will be a printed copy from the bookkeeper. 

Payments made through My School Bucks will need to have their receipts printed through the app as the school staff does not have access to that program.
