AFTERCARE . . .

Bethany Christian School Aftercare Procedures
GRADES PK-5 and MIDDLE SCHOOL

Bethany Christian School offers Aftercare services for those unable to pick up their children during dismissal. At 3:15 PM (or as soon as dismissal is complete), all remaining students will be escorted to the respective Aftercare locations. After attendance is taken, students will spend roughly 30-40 minutes reading quietly or completing homework assignments. Staff members will circulate among the students to assist them with any needs. Afterward, weather permitting, the students will be provided with an outlet to have fun and to play together.

Aftercare service costs $25 per child each day. Families with three or more children will not be charged more than $50 per day. Aftercare will not be available when the school is closed for holidays, teacher workdays, the summer or other school closures.

The Aftercare program hours are 3:15 P.M. – 5:30 P.M. If a child is picked up before 3:30 P.M., there will not be a charge. Aftercare is not available on early dismissal days, when school is not in session (i.e. teacher workdays), holidays or when the school is closed. If a child is not picked up by 3:15 P.M., he/she will automatically go into the Aftercare program until the parent arrives.

• Please be diligent to pick up your children prior to 5:30 PM. Please note there is a $30 charge if a child is picked up any time after 5:30 PM SHARP. This charge will increase to $60 after 5:45 PM.
  
  Aftercare Pricing Policy
  Your FACTS SIS account will be billed accordingly each time your child is placed in Bethany’s Aftercare program throughout the school year. Your Aftercare charges will need to be paid in full each billing cycle. Account balances cannot be transferred into the next school year, and your Aftercare account balance must be at zero by the end of the current school year.
  You may direct questions about the BCS Aftercare FACTS billing cycle to Wendy Austin in the Finance Office at waustin@bcsftl.org, or by calling her at 954.522.2554.
  Children who are enrolled in extracurricular afterschool programs may use the BCS Aftercare Program to stay after the dismissal of the activity. Please note there is a 15 minute grace period to pick children up once the extracurricular program has ended.
  
  

POLICIES . . .

Returned Checks: Tuition payments and fees are subject to a $30.00 returned check charge. If tuition becomes 30 days delinquent, a student will be asked to withdraw from BCS until all accounts are brought up to date. If accounts are not brought up to date, BCS reserves the right to withhold all student records and deny admission to the student for the next school year.

Deliquncy of Payments: In hardship situations, arrangements may be made prior to delinquency penalization. Forthrightness and open communication are helpful and appreciated.

Unconditional Tuition Obligation: Parent understands that the enrollment obligation for the full academic year is unconditional and that no portion of the year’s tuition or fees so paid or outstanding will be refunded or cancelled in the event of absence, withdrawal, or dismissal of this student from the School. Parent agrees to assume unconditional responsibility for the full annual tuition and fees and the costs of collection thereof, including reasonable attorney fees unless this contract is timely cancelled as set forth in the Tuition & Fees Schedule.

Force Majeure: The School’s duties and obligations under the Tuition Agreement Form shall be suspended immediately without notice during all periods that the School is closed because of force majeure events including, but not limited to, any fire, act of God, weather disaster, war, governmental action, act of terrorism, epidemic, pandemic or any other event beyond the School’s control. If such an event occurs, the School’s duties and obligations in this Agreement will be postponed until such time as the School, in its sole discretion, may safely reopen. In the event that the School cannot re-open due to an event under this clause, the School is under no obligation to refund any portion of the tuition paid.

FINANCIAL OBLIGATION . . .

BCS hires faculty, purchases supplies, and makes other financial commitments on an annual basis determined largely by the reliability of enrollment contracts. Upon a student withdrawing from BCS for any reason, tuition is due and payable through the end of that semester. A semester constitutes the first two quarters or last two quarters of the school year. Please see school calendar for semester dates.

LATE ENROLLMENT . . .

If a student applies for admission after June 1 and before the first day of the school year, all missed payments must be paid before the student is considered officially enrolled. For students applying for admission after the school year has begun, a prorated tuition rate will be assessed on a quarterly basis.
