Welcome to our program. We are looking forward to providing before/after school activities for your child and working with your family this coming year. The ASK program is for grades K-5. Older brothers/sisters are not allowed even on a drop-in basis.

HOURS:
The hours are 7:00 a.m. until the start of school and then 3:00-6:00 p.m. When the start of school is delayed or released early due to inclement weather or emergencies the ASK program will not be available. Parents must make alternate plans.

FEES:
Our fees are $3.00/hr. for the first child, $2.50/hr. for second child and $2.25/hr. for three or more. We bill on the half hour. This means if your child is in attendance anytime during a half hour period you will be charged $1.50. A $15.00 registration/supply fee is payable when a child is enrolled. If you will not need the program for a few weeks, please let us know, and we will hold your spot if at all possible.

PAYMENT:
All fees will be paid by the week. Notices will be placed in your child's folder on Monday and payment is due on Friday. If payment is not received by Friday a late charge of $10.00 will be added to the bill unless prior arrangements have been made with the ASK Director. There will be a $1.00 per minute overtime charge for children not picked up by 6:00 p.m. This charge will be paid at the time you pick up your child. If your child is not picked up 30 minutes after the programs ending time, and we have been unable to contact the parent or an authorized emergency person, or you have not contacted us, Children's Protective Services will be contacted to pick up your child. Please be sure emergency contact names and phone numbers are up to date If your child leaves the program and your final bill is not paid within 30 days it will be turned over to a collection agency where they will add their fee to your final bill and it will go on your credit report.

SIGN IN/SIGN OUT PROCEDURES:
Parents are required to sign the child into and out of the program. Occasionally parents may authorize someone other than themselves to sign their child(ren) in or out. Make certain all persons who pick up your child(ren) are on the authorization form and picture ID to show staff.

DISCIPLINE:
While we must set behavior limits, we intend those limits to benefit the child rather than make things convenient for adults. We cannot allow children to injure themselves, others or to destroy property, or be disrespectful to others. When this happens parents will be notified and a conference will be arranged. We reserve the right to refuse service to children who break established guidelines and limits and to children who disregard the safety of the staff and other children in this program.

I have read the above guidelines and agree to these conditions.
