Early Dismissal Days

Students utilizing either the morning only program or 4:00 pm pick-up in the afternoon are NOT automatically scheduled to attend the afternoon session of NEED on scheduled district early dismissal days. Advance sign-up is required to attend the afternoon session on early dismissal days at a cost of $35 per day, per child with pick-up by 5:45 pm. For those students attending afternoons until 5:45 pm, early dismissal IS included on early dismissal days that your child is normally scheduled for. For example, a
child scheduled for Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons, is included for early dismissal care on those days of the week only at no additional cost. Tuesday and Thursday could be added with advanced registration and the $35 per day, per child 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 and can be found online at myprocare.com. Parent may login using the email address you provided on your registration forms. You will then be asked to establish your password. Tax statements and FSA statement can be found here and printed
anytime by a family. The convenience fee is calculated for you prior to submitting your payment. In addition, checks or money orders may be dropped in the NEED payment boxes located in both the elementary and primary school entrances. 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 upon all registration forms being completed and payment received. All accounts must have a $0 balance including any add-on charges during the month in order to be admitted on the first of the month.

Lunches/Snacks

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 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 - “Breakfast” or “NEED Snack.” If your child is having breakfast through the school that 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 the NEED staff cannot administer medication. If your child has a potential for allergen reactions or anaphylaxis, we can assist with the administration of an EpiPen. Please make sure that the NEED program and the school nurse have a copy of the treatment plan available here.
