      Procedures (Per JCPS Policy 3100-R)

    • We do NOT provide services on workdays or holidays. If school is released early or JCPS afternoon activities are canceled due to inclement weather, we will close at 5:30. On inclement weather days with a delayed start, Before School Care will start at the same delay from the 6:30 AM open time. For example, if school has a two hour delay, Before School Care will start at 8:30 AM.
    • All fees are per child, and they are non-refundable.  In order to have a place in the program, the first month’s fee must be paid prior to beginning.  Fees are not pro-rated if a child begins the program in the middle of the month or leaves the program before the end of the month.  There is no discount for multiple children.
    • All checks should be payable to McGee’s Crossroads Elementary School. Checks and money orders should include a phone number. After 2 returned checks, the parent will be required to pay in cash.
    • Fees will not be adjusted for reduced hours, absences, weather, cancellations, etc.
    • Fees are due on the first day of each month. Late fees will start on the 5th day of the month. The late fee is $5 per day per child.  If fees are not paid by the 10th of the month your child may be dismissed from the program.
    • Students may not be dropped off before 6:30 a.m. The first time a student is picked up late, the parent will be given a warning. After the first warning, the parent will pay a charge of $1 per minute per child. After the 3rd occurrence of early drop off or late pick up, the student may be dismissed from the program. 
    • If a student is dismissed from the program in the middle of the school month, fees and payments are not refunded.  
    • Both programs will use the "Remind" system for any important changes due to weather or emergency. Information will be available at Open House or you may contact the Director.

     

    STUDENT RULES - The program will be successful because parents, staff, and students adhere closely to the rules and guidelines of the program. Please discuss the importance of the following rules with your child:
