Arrival and Dismissal Procedures
Students are dismissed from their regular school day at 3:25 PM on M, T, Th, F and at 2:25 PM on Wednesdays. If your child is signed up for an After School Enrichment class, they will walk to the gym and line up in a designated area marked with their ASE class name. Attendance will be taken by one of our PTO monitors and then your child will move to their designated classroom or space, where they will be under the supervision of the class instructor.
Dismissal will begin at 4:25 PM on M, T, Th, F and at 3:25 PM on Wednesdays. Your child will exit from the doors next to the gym for pickup. Our PTO supervisor will be outside to ensure the safety of students at all times. Please be on time for pickup. If you are running late, please email [email protected]so our monitors can be made aware.
Absence
If your child will not be at their ASE class, please email [email protected]prior to the class start time so we may notify the monitor of your child's absence for that day.
Refund Policy
If you feel a class is not a good fit for your child, you may drop the class and receive a refund or switch to a different class on the same day. Price adjustments may be necessary for class changes. Requests for drop or change of class must be made by Sunday, 1/12/20 for the winter session. No refunds will be issued after the second week of classes.
Please also note that no refunds will be issued for classes canceled due to District 109 Emergency School Closings (inclement weather).
Payment Policy
Payment is expected at the time of registration. If the family account has an outstanding balance from a previous session, the account will be suspended (no new registrations) until the balance is settled. A $25 late payment fee will be assessed to each class with an outstanding balance.
Allergy Plan
ASE staff will not have access to the school’s medical records or allergy plan information. If necessary, please provide allergy plan information to ASE staff. You can find the forms via the district website's Food Allergy Management page. You can send an action plan in an email to [email protected]or drop them off at the front office.
Code of Conduct
Students are expected to conduct themselves in the same manner as they do throughout the regular school day. Students will be disciplined and/or removed from the ASE program if they are in violation of the student code of conduct located in the Kipling Student Handbook.
The Kipling PTO Behavior Policy will be conducted in the following manner: First incident, the child's parent or guardian will be notified; the second incident will result in a written warning; a third incident may result in expulsion or suspension from the program, class or event.
If a student engages in behavior which results in bodily harm to others, an immediate expulsion or suspension may result. In the event of expulsion or suspension, the Kipling PTO will be unable to issue a refund for unused classes or events.
Students will use reasonable care to ensure that all electronic equipment used during class (iPad, laptop, etc.) is not damaged. If damage occurs, parents will be notified of the need for repair or replacement. If necessary, fees will be charged to the family's account.
