REGISTRATION REGULATIONS

WELCOME to the Winter Session of After School Activities at Kendale Elementary School. The Kendale Elementary PTA is sponsoring several activities this Fall --- including Basketball, reading group, Hip Hop, Martial Arts, Tap, Create, Explore and Learn and My Gym. These activities have been designed to enhance your child’s learning, physical development, and overall well-being. Instructors have undergone background checks and are qualified to instruct your child. Please use the attached registration form to enroll your student in any of the following After School Activities.

It is very important to the members of the PTA that your child has a safe and smooth After School Activities experience. To ensure this, we ask that you read and follow the Registration Requirements very carefully.

1. Enrollment: To enroll your child in an After School Activity, the After School Activity Registration Form must be filled out completely AND it must be received by September 2, 2011. If the deadline is close, we recommend you bring it to the office personally. We are not responsible for forms that do not reach the PTA.

2. Registration: Use the After School Activity Registration Form provided in this catalog. If you need additional copies, you can make copies, pick up extras in the front office or download it from www.kendalepta.info. You MUST use a separate registration form for each child AND each class. Please put the form(s) and check(s) in a sealed envelope labeled on the outside with ‘‘PTA After School Activities.’’ We are not responsible for checks that are lost in transit. If you are concerned about check security, please bring your forms in person to the front office.

3. Class Fees: The cost of each class is determined by the contracted price or amount charged by the contractor per student for the class. There are no registration fees. Please note that the PTA will not make any money on these classes. If you have any questions regarding the registration, please contact the after-school coordinators at Marcela_Gonzalez36@hotmail.com

4. Payment: Checks should be made payable to ‘‘Kendale Elementary PTA.’’ Please put the student’s first and last name on the check and the name of the After School Activity. A fee of $25 will be charged for all returned checks.

DISMISSAL PROCEDURES

1. Dismissal to an After School Activity: Your child’s teacher will receive a copy of the After School Activities Roster, which will list your student’s name, Activity and dates/times of participation. The teacher will make every effort to dismiss your child to his/her Activity. Please remind your student on the day of the Activity.

2. Picking Up from an After School Activity: Parents/Guardians need to plan ahead and adjust their child’s pick-up arrangements on After School Activity days. You must come to the specified classroom location to pick up your child and notify the teacher/chaperone that you are there to pick up your child. Students will not be permitted to leave the school unattended to meet you at the curb outside or to walk home.

3. Dismissal to After School Care(ASC): Children who are normally dismissed to ASC will be sent to ASC at the end of their Activity. ASC will receive a roster of students attending After School Activities. Students should check-in at ASC before proceeding to their After School Activity. This is very important so that we can keep track of every child.

STUDENT CONDUCT

STUDENTS are expected to participate in a respectful and cooperative manner in all PTA-Sponsored After School Activity classes. Students are required to follow Dade County Public School Regulations -- Students Rights and Responsibilities. The following disciplinary methods will be employed during After School Activities:

1st Warning: disruptive student will be removed from Activity and parent/guardian will be advised upon pick-up of situation.

2nd Warning: disruptive student will be sent to the office, parent/guardian will be advised upon pick-up of situation and the student will be withdrawn from participation in the After School Activity program with a full written explanation from the After School Activity Instructor without a refund.

REGISTRATION REGULATIONS

5. Cancellation: Refunds will be given if requested before the activity start date. Those students who are not registered because a class is full will have their forms and checks returned to them.

6. Placement: Placement in your child’s chosen class is automatic unless the class is oversubscribed, in which case a lottery is held. Therefore, please note the start/end dates, skipped days (if any), and dismissal times of your child’s After School Activity(ies) upon submission of registration form.

7. Lottery: A lottery will be held to determine placement in over-subscribed classes. Children who do not receive a lottery spot will be placed on a waiting list. After the 2nd class, all registrations and checks for students on the waiting list will be returned.

8. Notification: Our primary method of communication, for confirmations, waitlist notifications, and other announcements is email. Please make sure your email address is correct and legible. If you don’t have an email address, we will use your home phone number to contact you. Please DO NOT email asking enrollment status until at least 1 week after the entry deadline, since it takes time after the registration deadline to sort the forms, compile by class, do data entry and conduct lotteries.

9. Conditions of Enrollment: We reserve the right to cancel your child’s enrollment if he/she is not picked up promptly at the dismissal time specified for your class or if your child has disciplinary issues and is not willing to follow the directions of the instructors.

10. Missed Classes: Every effort will be made to reschedule any class(es) missed due to school closures (weather, etc.) or instructor issues. If a class cannot be rescheduled, we will not be able to issue refunds for missed classes. No refunds will be issued for classes missed due to student illness or other non-attendance.
