Early Dismissal Days

Students enrolled in the morning-only NEED program may attend the afternoon session on scheduled district early dismissal days.

• Advance registration is required

• Cost: $37 per day, per child

• Pick-up time: No later than 5:45 PM

• Space is limited — early sign-up is strongly recommended

  Important Notes on Early Dismissal Days:

• For students already enrolled in aftercare, early dismissal days are included in tuition if they fall on your scheduled days only. Additional early dismissal days can be added at a fee, on a space-available basis.

  • Example: If your child attends Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoons, they are automatically covered on early dismissal days that fall on those same weekdays.

• If your child is not scheduled for aftercare on a particular early dismissal day (e.g., Tuesday or Thursday), you may add that day with advance registration and the $37 fee.

Payments

Tuition payments are due on the 15th of the month before. October’s tuition is due on September 15. There is a grace period through the 20th. An account late fee is automatically applied on the 21st of the month. Procare is our online payment processing software, available at myprocare.com. Parents may log in using the email address you provided on your registration forms. You will then be prompted to set up your password. Tax statements and FSA statements can be found here and printed at any time by an account holder. The convenience fee is calculated for you before you submit your payment. The percentage varies depending on whether the deduction is made from a bank account or a credit card. Additionally, during the school year, checks or money orders can be dropped off in the NEED payment box located at the elementary school entrance or given to a staff member from NEED. All cash payments must be made directly to a NEED staff member or at the Primary School during school hours. NEED registrations are considered complete when all registration forms are completed and payment is received. All accounts must have a $0 balance, including any add-on charges, at the end of the month to be admitted on the first of the following month.

Instructions for the online software payment system can be found here.

Lunches/Snacks/Breakfast

There is an optional snack time every afternoon. In addition, on early dismissal days, students should bring both a lunch and a snack to the program. Please keep in mind that food items sent to school should be able to be opened by your child without assistance if at all possible. In addition, it’s helpful to label snack bags or containers for your child with labels like “Breakfast” or “NEED Snack.” If your child is having breakfast at school, which is served at the start of school and is not available during the NEED program. Also, please be mindful to NOT send in any nut products as we have students who attend the program with life-threatening allergies. In addition to snacks, students are encouraged to bring labeled, refillable water bottles to school.

Nurse

There is no nurse available during the before and aftercare program. Please note that the NEED staff are not authorized to administer medication. If your child has a potential for allergic reactions or anaphylaxis, we can assist with administering an EpiPen. Please make sure that the NEED program and the school nurse have a copy of the treatment plan available here.
