Activity Fees
If a parent elects to enroll a child in an extra enrichment activity (field trip, on-site activity, etc.), the parent will be responsible for any cost incurred by the After School Program for the extra activity. Advance notice of the date and cost of the activity will be given. All activity fees are non-refundable.
Workday Fees
An additional fee of $20 per child is charged for a teacher workday. The fee is non-refundable. No refunds, credits or account adjustments will be given if your child does not attend a teacher workday once you have registered your child to attend.
Late Payment of Tuition Fee
A fee of $10 per family will be added automatically when tuition payments are made after Friday (or the last day of the week that the child regularly attends) for the upcoming week unless the child is absent due to illness on that day. A parent who arranges for alternate pickup on a Friday is still responsible for ensuring that payment is made according to ASP payment policy to avoid being charged this fee.
Late Pickup Fee
A late pickup fee of $5 per child, per every five minutes ($1 per minute) will be charged to parents picking up children after 6 p.m. We reserve the right to dismiss a child after the third instance of late pickup. In the event a parent experiences a true emergency, the program coordinator should be notified by 6 p.m. If no contact has been received, attempts will be made to contact persons on the child’s emergency list. If child is not picked up by 6:45 p.m. local authorities may be called.
Late Registration Fee (TWD and Breaks)
Failure to enroll by the posted deadline for teacher workdays, intersession, or winter and spring breaks (or any time a child is required to attend a site other than the home site) will result in a $10 per child late registration fee. Late enrollment will be permitted based on available space and number of staff scheduled to work.
Payment Procedures
The program is financially self-supporting through fees collected from parents of each child enrolled. The After School Program receives no Federal or State money, therefore:
- Weekly tuition from all parents, including those receiving tuition assistance, is due in advance on Friday (or the last day of the week that the child regularly attends) for the next week.
- Weekly tuition payments are considered late and an account will be assessed a Late Payment of Tuition Fee of $10 if payment is made after Friday. In the event of a school closing or child’s absence due to illness on Friday (or the last day of the week that the child regularly attends), tuition is due the first business day of the next week.
- An account is considered past due if not paid on Friday if there is a balance due. The total balance due must be paid by Monday by 6 p.m. or the child may not return to the program on Tuesday afternoon. It is the parent's responsibility to make alternative pick-up arrangements for the child and communicate that with the school office as per the school procedures.
- Payments should not be sent with the child or left in the school office. Payment should be made to the program coordinator or the coordinator’s designated charge person. A parent who arranges for alternate pickup on a Friday is still responsible for ensuring that payment is made according to these policies.
- If paying in cash, parents are requested to have correct change—cash is not kept on site.
- Credit will be given for inclement weather when the program is closed.
- The After School Program is unable to accept postdated checks for payment on account. If special circumstances or situations occur, consideration for approval of payment arrangements must be made through the After School Program’s Central Services (704) 290-1516.
- The full weekly fee is due regardless of a child’s attendance, holidays during the week, workdays, remote learning days in a week or child’s start date.
