An additional fee of $15.00 will be assessed for any child remaining between 6:00 — 6:15 P.M.

The program fees are to be paid the first school day of the month.

Past due tuition incurs a $10.00 late charge. Failure to pay fees will result in the withholding of records, (includes progress reports, transcripts, and report cards.) Financial obligations that are not met are grounds for dismissal.

Children on the school grounds after 3:45 P.M. must go to the Extended School Day Program. Fees will apply.

Registered students who remain after school to assist teachers must have notified the Extended Care Director and have parental permission on file. Charges will begin when they report to the Extended School Day.

Students who leave the program (for practices, extra–curricular activities, etc.) early must have parental permission on file and take all belongings with them. ESDP is not responsible for lost items. (Full fee applies.)

DISCIPLINE
A child whose behavior adversely affects the well — being of another child will be removed from the group for a period of time. The following are examples of behavior that merit discipline action:

crude and/or obscene language
physical abuse of others (kicking, hitting, spitting, etc.)
verbal abuse of others (name calling)
abuse of property
disrespect in words or actions towards the staff or lying to the staff

PARENT COMMUNICATION
The telephone number of the program is (214) 365–1233, and it will be answered from 3:15 P.M. until 6:15 P.M. Before 3:15 P.M. a message may be left at the school office at (214) 365–1234.

If a child who regularly attends the program will be absent, the parent must leave a message for the Extended School Day Program Director not to expect the child. In the absence of such a message, every effort will be made to reach the parent unless the child was also absent from school that day. The child who attends the program must be signed–out by the parent or authorized pick–up person.

REASONS FOR WITHDRAWAL
Christ the King School will make every effort to help each child have a happy experience within the Extended School Day Program. In the interests of all those in the program, children may be asked to withdraw for the following reasons:

failure to meet the financial obligations of the program
failure to observe the 6:00 P.M. pick — up time
disregarding the behavior guidelines for the children in the program
physical or verbal abuse of the staff or other children

Failure to comply with these instances may result in the director, in consultation with the school principal, to request withdrawal from the program.

Any parent experiencing a problem with any aspect of the program is encouraged to discuss the situation with the program director.

The program director is available for conferences and if a parent feels the program has not been addressed adequately, a conference with the school principal may be requested.

Christ the King School Extended School Day Program is a service given only during regular school sessions.
