Policies and Procedures

2012-2013

Mission

The purpose of the Burleson ISD After School Program (ASP) is to provide students with academic enrichment activities while having fun in a safe and structured environment.

Hours

The Burleson ISD After School Program is offered Monday through Friday from the time the school bell rings until 6:00 p.m. and on early release days from 11:45 until 6:00 p.m. The After School Program is not available on school holidays. The BISD calendar will be followed.

Staff

ASP staff is employed by the Burleson ISD. Every employee is subject to finger printing. Our staff is also CPR and First Aide certified. ASP staff is trained in basic emergency procedures and follows the Burleson ISD reference tool for handling a crisis. Frequent fire and tornado drills are conducted to ensure the safety of our students. The ASP does not maintain a school nurse or other health professional on staff.

Contact Person

Each campus employs an ASP Director and they are your primary contact. You may email the Director or call your school office for the ASP cell phone number.

Students

Students are required to show respect toward the instructors, other students and school property at all times. If a student refuses to cooperate, the ASP reserves the right to dismiss the student from the program. Love and Logic is endorsed by BISD and will be used to modify students’ behavior.

Attendance

Safety is our top priority. Parents are required to notify us by 2:00 pm. when their child will not be attending the ASP. Failure to notify the ASP of their child's absence from the program will result in a phone call to locate the child and a No Call Fee of $10. Parents are responsible for informing the ASP staff of any clubs or activities their student(s) will participate in after school outside of the ASP. Students must check-in to the ASP before attending any clubs or activities including working with teachers. It is our top priority to know where your student is at all times while in the ASP.

Early Release Days

· Parents must reserve their child’s spot by registering one week prior to early release day, due to staffing regulations.

· All ASP policies and procedures are applicable.

· Lunch will not be provided. Students will need to bring a lunch and a water bottle or sign up for the cafeteria to provide a lunch.

Medication

The ASP staff does not have access to the medications in the nurse’s office. We prefer that the nurse administer medications before 2:45 pm. (if possible) or the parents do so after the student is picked up.

The ASP does not maintain a school nurse or other health professional on staff.

If the student requires a prescription medication such as an inhaler during ASP hours, the parent must provide the ASP with that medication even if the nurse already has it. A medication form with a physician’s signature must be completed and turned in to the ASP office.

Snacks

The ASP will provide a healthy snack daily. Students may bring an additional healthy snack.

Personal Items

Students may bring their own personal items to the ASP. However, the ASP is not responsible for any lost or stolen items. Please make sure that each item is labeled with their full name. The trading of toys, cards, etc., will not be permitted. Students may not carry personal cell phones or use personal electronic devices during their time in the ASP. For safety reasons, all students are required to wear appropriate shoes for physical/sport activities.

Cash payments are not accepted.

Acceptable methods of payments are check, money order and online through the BISD website. Parents will need to obtain your student’s ID number in person, due to privacy issues, from the campus office in order to pay online. If this is a 4 digit code, please put a zero at the beginning of it so the computer will accept it. Checks should be made payable to your campus ASP.

The weekly payments are due in advance (Friday) and are considered late on Monday after 6:00 pm. A late fee of $10 will be charged to your account daily beginning at 6 pm on Monday.

Monthly payments are due on the 1^st school day of each month by 6:00 pm. If the first day of the month falls on a school holiday or weekend, payments are due on the next scheduled school day. A late fee of $10.00 will be charged to your account daily beginning at 6:00 pm on the 1^st school day of the month until payment is made in full.

The drop in rate of $15 per day must be paid in advance or on the day of drop in. A student enrolled as a drop in will be allowed to attend no more than two days per week. A student attending three or more days per week is considered full time and parents will be charged accordingly.

Payments that are a week late may be cause for student dismissal from the program.

If transferring within the BISD, the parent/guardian will be responsible for payment of all ASP tuition/fees owed before enrollment will be accepted to another BISD After School Program campus.
