2017 – 2018 AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM

Dear Parent/Guardian,

All students that attend the Arnold Mill Elementary School After School Program (ASP) MUST have a registration form on file BEFORE they can attend even if they have attended ASP the previous year. This is very critical as it provides us with information on who can pick up your child and how to reach you in the event of an emergency. NO CHILD WILL BE ABLE TO STAY IN ASP WITHOUT A REGISTRATION FORM ON FILE.

ASP is a prepaid program. All payments MUST be made BEFORE or the DAYof your child attending. If money is not paid at that time, your child will NOT be able to attend ASP until it is paid.

Many parents leave additional money in their child’s account. This money will remain in the child’s account until the child attends ASP or it will roll over into the next school year.

If you have any questions regarding this, please feel free to contact us.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter.

Sincerely,

Dr. Christy BowlingMaufi Noelle

OUR GOAL...

This program provides a safe and happy time after school hours for any student enrolled at Arnold Mill. The program operates daily from 2:30-6:00 P.M. Various activities are planned for students, and may include, art, music, drama, games, cooperative play, story time, computer club, tutoring and study hall. Optional activities might be offered throughout the year (Drama, Cheerleading, Spanish, Basketball, Baseball, Soccer, etc.) by community experts at reduced costs to ASP students. We hope that you enroll your child or children with our After School Program (ASP).

ENROLLMENT POLICIES

1. You MUST complete a new registration form each year for your child(ren) to attend the program. Forms are located in the front office. Please notify the ASP immediately with important changes.

2. Tuition must be paid in advance. Payment envelopes are located in the office. Make checks or money order payable to ARNOLD MILL ASP. PLEASE USE OUR ENVELOPES OR PLACE IN AN ENVELOPE MARKED “ASP”! Be sure your child’s name and teacher is written on the envelope.

DAILY FEE

The daily fee of $8.00 per child is due priorto 12:00 P.M. Payment after this time is $12.00 per child PER DAY. Many parents keep a small amount of money in their child’s ASP account to avoid late payment fees. You will still be charged for ASP for any transportation changes made after 12:00 PM.

*Please remember that our ASP begins at 2:30 P.M.

Helpful Suggestion:

Please have available an emergency number and pickup person should you be caught in traffic.

LATE PICK UP FEES

A $10.00 Late Fee will be charged for each15-MINUTE interval after 6:00 PM. Local 911 authorities will be notified after 7:00 PM. Late fees are due at the time of pick up and will be determined by the time indicated on the office clock. Three late pick-ups may result in suspending your child from the ASP program.

3. Students will be checked out to the parent or parent designee. A photo I.D. is required by the ASP staff before students are released.

4. Students will not be released to adults who appear

under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

5. If a check is returned to the ASP for insufficient funds, further payments will be accepted in cash or money order only. Bank charges will be applied.

6. Parents must notify the classroom teacher in writing as to their after school plans. This should occur each day a child is to participate in the ASP. Separate correspondence will be necessary for the teacher of each child.

7. All rules and regulations imposed on your child by ArnoldMillSchool or the Cherokee County Board of Education for the regular school day remain in effect for the ASP. Please read the discipline brochure and student handbook with your child.

8. Safety is our primary concern. Students who do not follow the rules of the ASP may be suspended on a temporary or permanent basis from the program. Please emphasize appropriate behavior with your child or children.

Our ASP has been very successful.

We appreciate working with you.
