After School Program Rules
Dear Parent/Guardian,
Welcome to our After School Program! The After
School Program (ASP) provides a safe, fun, and nurturing environment
for the care of elementary students from after school until 6:00PM
on each school day. ASP is a self supporting program. Participation
should be considered a privelege.
- Every student attending the After School Program
(ASP) must have a current ASP Registration Form on file at our
school. It is your responsibility to inform the school of any
changes of the information, particularly phone numbers and emergency
contacts, on the ASP Registration Form.
TUITION, ATTENDANCE, OPERATING
HOURS and PAYMENTS
- You are enrolling your student in the PREPAID
After School Program. You agree to pay a non-refundable annual
registration fee of $10 per student. (The registration fee is
transferable between Cobb County elementary schools.) You agree
to prepay $7 per day per student.
If your students account becomes past due, your student may
not attend the program, and you must make other arrangements
for after school care.
- Payment must be made prior to attendance.
Enclose all ASP payments, cash or checks, in the ASP
payment envelopes and drop the payment in the school's safe
or drop box. ASP checks must be made payable to the school.
Do not include other school money, such as lunch, PTA or field
trips. Change will not be given. All money
will be credited to the student's ASP account.
- If your check is returned unpaid, the
check will be forwarded to the District's collection agency.
Checks returned unpaid may be recovered electronically along
with the state allowed recovery fee. If the collection
agency is unable to collect the amount due from you, the check
will be charged back to your student's ASP account. If the ASP
account becomes delinquent, you will have only tree days from
the date the school notifies you to bring the account current.
Failure to pay within this time period will result in your student
being withdrawn from the After School Program. If two checks
are returned, only cash or money order payments will be accepted
the remainder of the school year.
- The hours of the program are from the time
school ends until 6:00PM on the days school is in session. Attendance
will be taken 15 minutes after school dismissal and the student's
account will be charged.
- A LATE FEE of $1.00 per minute
per student will be charged for every minute past 6:00 PM according
to the school clock. YOUR STUDENT WILL BE WITHDRAWN
FROM THE PROGRAM AFTER THE THIRD LATE PICK UP.
- All ASP refunds must be requested in writing.
The request must be received no later than Monday of the last
week of the school year.
- Monthly or Summary Student ASP Account Statements
are available by request.
BEHAVIOR EXPECTATIONS &
DISMISSAL PROCEDURES
- The same behavior expectations apply in ASP
as during the regular school day. All Cobb County School District
policies in the student handbook apply to ASP. Inappropriate
behavior may result in your student's suspension or withdrawal
from the program.
- To ensure the safety and security of all students
in ASP, if an emergency occurs that threatens the welfare of
a student, a school official will contact the Cobb County Police
Department. Late pick-up from ASP may be considered such an
emergency.
- If school closes for inclement weather or any
other reason, ASP will close also. In this case, the instructions
given to your student's homeroom teacher on the inclement weather
form will be followed.
- For the protection of your student, only people
designated on the registration from will be allowed to pick
up your student. IDENTIFICATION WILL BE REQUIRED.
Each student must be signed out at the ASP desk every day.
- Students may be suspended or withdrawn
from the After School Program for the following reasons:
- Three Late Pick-Ups
- Nonpayment or Late Payment of Tuition
& Fees
- Discipline Problems
- Principals discretion
