St. Jerome Aftercare Policies
· PHP payments can be made weekly, at the beginning of the month, at the beginning of the semester, or for an entire year by August 15.  No refunds are made for school holidays, and the fee is not prorated for shortened school weeks.  There is no fee for weeks when the school is closed (over the Christmas and Easter breaks, for example) and there is no additional charge for the extra hours on early dismissal days.

· Parents are asked to be prompt in paying tuition.  Those who fall two weeks behind in payments will be asked to remove their children from the program until payments are made current.

· A late fee of $ 1.00 per minute is assessed after 6:05 p.m. Time is kept by the teacher on duty, and late fees are payable with the next week's tuition.

· Students are to be signed out only to designated persons.  Those who pick students up MUST sign the book each day.

· When a student is enrolled in before care, he or she is to report to the teacher in charge upon arrival to be checked in.

· The Code of Student Conduct (in the school handbook) is in force during the before- and after-school sessions.  Students are expected to be cooperative with and courteous to all staff members.  Parents of students who consistently pose a behavior problem during program hours will be asked to remove them from the program.

· Periodic field trips are scheduled tor the after-school program.  Field trip policies are the same as those for the regular school session: No child may participate without a completed permission form, and students are expected to observe the Code of Student Conduct while they are away from the school building and grounds. (See Field Trips. p. 21 and Appendix 4 of the school handbook.)
