Purpose:  The purpose of our EDP is to provide responsible supervision of children of working parents living in the Garden City attendance area.  Our EDP will provide a safe and caring environment in which each child may develop his/her physical and intellectual potential at his/her own rate of speed.

Rules:

1.    Students in the Extended Day Program must follow the Duval County Student Code of Conduct.

2.    Students must respect other people and property.

3.    Students must not bring any dangerous items to school.

4.    SAFETY FIRST!  Fighting, throwing objects, horseplay, or hitting other students or instructors will result in immediate disciplinary action.

5.    Always report all injuries, no matter how small, immediately.

6.    Students must report for roll call immediately after school and remain with their instructors at all times.

Warnings:  Citizenship warnings will be given to children who do not follow the rules of Extended Day or the Duval County Code of Student Conduct.  First and second warnings must be signed by parents and returned the next day.  Third warnings will be signed and returned and will result in a one week suspension from the program.  When a child receives a fourth warning, a conference with the parent and the director will be required before the child may return to the program.  The fifth warning will result in the student being expelled from the program.  IF EXPELLED, NO REFUND WILL BE GIVEN FOR THE BALANCE OF THE SESSION.  An immediate suspension could result if a child were to injure another person while participating in the Extended Day Program.

Pick-up and Drop-off Procedures:  Transportation of children to and from the Extended Day Program is the responsibility of the parents.  Children will not be allowed to leave with anyone except the parent and/or the person designated by the parent.  A note to the Extended Day Director is requested for special pick-up.  Verbal messages cannot be accepted by the Director from the student.

Arrival and Departure:  Students may not arrive before 7:00 am and must be picked up by 6:00 pm.

If a child is picked up late, there will be a fee imposed.  The fee will be $1.00 per minute after 6:00 pm.  This fee is due by the close of the next day.  If three violations occur or the fee is not paid, the child will be removed from the program.  The school clock is used when determining late fees.

Withdrawal from EDP:  If, at any time, it becomes necessary to withdraw a child from the Extended Day Program, a note should be sent to the Director.  A child will not be withdrawn until a note has been received.

Extended Day Payment Policies:  Payments are due as scheduled.  All payments should be dropped in the Extended Day payment box.  All payments should be in an envelope.  Cash payments must be for the exact amount.  No change will be given.

Checks will be accepted.  All checks must include a name, address, home phone, driver’s license number, and a work number.  It is district policy not to accept post-dated checks or to hold a check.  If a check is returned for non-payment, there will be a charge of $40.00 and no other checks will be accepted.

Payment is due in 4 week sessions (20 school days).  There is no charge for school holidays.  District policy states that a student may not remain in the Extended Day Program unless their account balances are paid on a current basis.  If payment is not made prior to the 1^st day of the session, the child will not be admitted to the Extended Day Program until the fee is paid in full. 

Please keep your receipts.   They will serve as documentation for tax purposes.  The Federal Tax Identification number is 59-6000-589.

A $10.00 late fee will be assessed if payment is not made after five working days from the payment due date.

Personal Belongings:  All student belonging should be clearly marked with the child’s name.  The child is responsible for all belongings and the Extended Day Program cannot reimburse anyone for lost items.  Children may not bring their own toys to Extended Day. 

Health:  Children who are ill should not be brought to school or to Extended Day.  If a child becomes ill, parents will be notified and the child will need to be picked up.
