Please be advised that by enrolling in the ESS Program, you are confirming that you have read, understand and agree to the following policies:

-There is an annual Registration Fee of $40 to register one child and $60 to register two or more children.  This fee is non-refundable and will be automatically processed upon approval of your contract.

-Tuition is based on a flat rate fee, not actual attendance, and is billed on a bi-weekly basis. Payment due dates are every other Monday, and must be pre-paid one week in advance. Fees are non-refundable. Rates are subject to change. ESS reserves the right to deny service upon non-payment.

-All electronic payments made over the phone or in person with an ESS Account Technician will have a 2% convenience fee assessed. This fee will NOT be assessed when paying online via your Eleyo account or if you select to set up Auto Pay.

-Tuition payments may NOT be left at the site or given to the ESS site staff. Only the District Office may accept payments. Break seasons are optional and must be signed up for separately. No student will be accepted at ESS until the registration process has been completed and payment is received by the due date.

-You will be charged a $10.00 late fee if your payment is not received by the invoice due date. Late fees must be paid with the next payment. Continuous non-payment of fees is a cause for termination from the ESS Program. If your account is not fully paid by the close of business on the Friday before the first day of the service week(s), your child may not be admitted to ESS. Existing charges will be left on the account. If your child comes to ESS and the account has not been paid, he or she may be escorted to the office and you will be contacted to come pick him/her up.

-You must provide notice two weeks prior to any of the following: changing schedules, vacation request (up to two weeks non-participation per year is permitted at no charge), withdrawing from the program. If a two week notice is not provided, you will be charged corresponding fees according to your selected schedule. Please note that schedule changes must be for a MINIMUM of two weeks. 

-Picking up your child ANY time after 6:00 p.m. (according to the ESS clock) is considered a late pick-up, and a charge will be assessed to your account.

-If your account is sent to collections, a $15.00 fee will be added to your account. You must clear up the account with the collection agency and ESS before re-entering the program.

-Checks returned by your bank for any reason (i.e. non-sufficient funds, account closed, etc.) must be replaced immediately with cash, credit card, or money order. A $25.00 fee will be charged to the account.

ESS Homework Policies:

  • Homework rotation at ESS is 45-minutes in length, 4 days a week, Monday through Thursday for 1st through 8th grade students.
  • Homework rotation in ESS is not a one-on-one tutoring service, but rather a quiet space and separate time of day for students to focus on and work toward their homework completion.
  • When homework rotation begins in ESS, staff will ask students if they have homework and/or to show the staff their homework folder/planner. If a student states that he/she has no homework, he/she will be provided with academic enrichment activities or will have the option to read a book of his/her choice for the duration of the homework rotation. Staff will not go through a student's backpack to look for his/her homework.
  • While ESS staff may spot-check answers, the responsibility of reviewing and correcting work belongs to the parent/guardian. ESS does not guarantee homework completion.

I understand there are additional policies within the Parent Handbook and have read and agree to abide by these regulations.


IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING TRANSACTION FEES (effective until 8/9/19):

The Extended School Services and SmartSteps Preschool programs will assess a transaction fee on all credit/debit card/ACH (electronic check) transfer transactions. Transaction fees will be reflected on your next invoice. Families making payment by cash or check will not incur this fee.

                                                 Between:

We strive to provide an affordable child care option for our LMSV families. The fees we incur due to credit/debit card transactions are now passed on to those choosing this option rather than raising all fees to cover the expense.
