Hello, Kipling Parents!
We know it feels like the year has just begun but it's almost time to register for Winter session. Hopefully your kiddos are enjoying their classes so far! Below is some important information regarding the After School Enrichment (ASE) program at Kipling, if you are new to our program. For specific information on Winter classes please click on the Winter 2020 tab that will be visible Sunday, October 27th.
The ASE program is brought to you by the Kipling PTO. We are parent volunteers who give our time to create and manage this program throughout the school year. We strive to offer a diverse selection of classes that are age-appropriate for all of our students, K–5.
Our ASE program is run outside of the regular school day and is exclusively managed by the Kipling PTO. While our fantastic school staff is always happy to help out, it is the Kipling PTO’s responsibility to handle all ASE-related questions and concerns. Please direct all inquiries and feedback about the ASE program, classes or instructors directly to the ASE Committee ([email protected]). Exception: If your child has an IEP, 504 plan or other specific needs, please contact Ann Buch at [email protected] within three days of registration. Due to HIPAA law, PTO volunteers are unable to discuss such matters with parents.
For the 2019–2020 year, we are offering two sessions (Fall and Winter/Spring). Please note, unlike prior years, Winter and Spring have been combined into one session.
Regular registration for the Winter session runs from Friday, November 1 at 7:00 AM CDT through Sunday, November 17 at 11:00 PM CDT. Late registration runs from Monday, November 18 at 7:00 AM CDT through Saturday, November 30 at 5:00 PM CDT. Late registrations will incur a $15 late fee.
Registration will be first come, first served. A waitlist will be available for those who cannot register for their desired class. If the class is full at your time of registration Jumbula will put you on a waitlist in the order in which requests are received. In the case of waitlisting, once registration has closed we will notify you of all class placements, cancelations, or changes. If you accept a spot in the class after being on the waitlist you will need to register as normal.
If you are new to the Kipling family and/or the ASE program, welcome! To help expedite your registration we encourage you to create your Jumbula account before registration opens Friday morning. Here's the link, Jumbula Login/Setup, click on the New Family tab to start.
Thank you for being a part of Kipling ASE and we look forward to a great year!
The Kipling ASE Committee
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
