After School Supervision Policy Middle School Atlanta Girls’ School
Atlanta Girls’ School provides supervised care for middle school students who need to remain on campus after the end of the school day. There will be a $15 per day charge to parents for each day that student participates in the official after school program. The after school program runs from 3:30 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. every school day. After care will be available starting on the first day of school, August 18, 2009. Note that all students who are staying on campus after 3:30 and are not directly involved in a teacher-supervised activity or sports practice will be expected to be a part of the after school program. Keep this in mind as you make plans for your daughter’s transportation home. If you are unable to pick up your daughter by 3:30, she will go to the after school program until she can be picked up. All parents are expected to come into the building to sign their student out of the after school program. On the days that a student has sports or fine arts practice, the student must be picked up by the end of practice. Students who are not picked up within 15 minutes of the end of practice will be charged the $15/day fee for the after school program. All students are to be picked from the school by 6:00 p.m. (or within 15 minutes after the end of practice, whichever is later). If the student is not picked up by that time, a $1 per minute fee will be assessed for each minute after 6:00 p.m. that she is on campus. Payment Options Payment for this program will be $15 for each student. We ask that you anticipate your need for after care and pre-pay for the first quarter. If you do not use all of your days that you have paid for in the first quarter, your paid-for days will rollover into the second quarter. If you are unsure of your utilization of after care, you will be billed for days used on a monthly basis. Payment of after care will be expected on a timely basis. Non-payment of after care fees will jeopardize your ability to use this service in the future. Additional charges for late pick-up as detailed above, will be assessed on a monthly basis and billed accordingly.
