ASC WINTER/SPRING 2024 POLICIES

 

CANCELLATION POLICY:

  • Any request to cancel a club through January 26th will be subject to a $50 cancellation fee.
  • No refunds or credits will be issued for any reason after January 26th.

When a club has sufficient enrollment, we confirm the numbers with our vendors, enter into a contract and pay the vendor’s session fee based on that enrollment number. We do not get refunded when a student drops out of a club, so we cannot issue a refund after January 26th. Please make your choices with care.

 

BEHAVIOR POLICY:

  • The behavior of children enrolled in After School Clubs must be consistent with the proper behavior expected in the classroom during normal school hours. 
  • If you question if a club is the right fit for your child in terms of structure or environment, please reach out to us and we are happy to discuss it with you.
  • If a child is disruptive (1st offense), the instructor will create an incident report. The instructor will notify the ASC chaperones and parents will be subsequently notified to discuss the nature of the problem and the child will be placed on notice.  
  • If a child continues to be disruptive beyond the 1st offense and affects the functioning of the club, the child will be removed from all future sessions and no refunds will be given.

DISMISSAL PROCEDURES:

  • ASC dismissal is at 4:05pm. Please note that ASC dismisses students differently than school hours. Parents and caregivers must check in with the club chaperone stationed at the doors.  ASC will send a dismissal schedule with the designated exits for each club before the beginning of each session.  
  • School Dismissal Manager (SDM) is used for the 3pm dismissal from school. It is important that SDM is updated with your children’s ASC schedule, in order for the school and teachers to know your child will not be dismissed at 3pm. Please set each club as a “recurring dismissal”. The PTA does not have access to this information.
  • For the 4:05 dismissal: please email us with any general dismissal information we should know (e.g. if your child can walk home by themselves) or by 12 pm with any specific dismissal information for that given day (e.g. another parent or caregiver is picking your child up). Please remember that we are parent volunteers, and the ASC email account may not be monitored after 12 pm.
  • Please note that families are expected to pick up their children promptly at 4:05pm. Repeated late pick ups may result in your child’s removal from all future sessions and no refunds will be given.
  •  If you need to get your child early from a club, you must arrive no later than 3:50pm.
  • Please remember to take note of the parking rules on Sage Terrace. Parents/caregivers should take care to park only on the LEFT side of the street. There is NO parking allowed on the right side of Sage Terrace after 3:30 pm.

HEALTH AND COVID CONTINGENCIES:

  • A child may only attend ASC if they would otherwise be permitted to attend school.     
  • Should any clubs be disrupted, suspended or canceled due to COVID or related operational reasons, the Greenacres PTA may not be in a position to seek refunds from vendors.  
  • It is also understood that the PTA is not in a position to monitor or verify the health or vaccination status of vendors, instructors, participants or any other person associated with or attending ASC or the premises. Participation in after-school clubs will be at each family’s risk.  

INCLEMENT WEATHER EARLY DISMISSAL:

  • ASC will not run if school is closed early due to inclement weather.  All notifications to close school will come directly from the District.  Please note that families are expected to pick up their child promptly at indicated early dismissal time.  When schools are closed early, childcare and supervision are not available at school.    

EMERGENCY CONTACT:

  • During registration, please provide the NAME and PHONE NUMBER of the person who should be notified in the case of an emergency during After School Clubs.

ALLERGY INFORMATION:

  • The usual school medical protocols are not in place during After School Clubs, and there is no nurse on duty.  Please list any allergies you would like us to be aware of during the ASC registration process. We share that information with our chaperones, who may be trained, but are not required, to administer the emergency Epi-pens throughout the building. 
  • In the case of especially severe allergies, we strongly encourage parents to reach out to us directly so we can properly communicate with our chaperones. 
  • As a reminder, NO food is permitted in clubs with the exception of cooking classes. NO food is to be consumed in any club, including cooking classes.
