THE RUNKLE AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM, independently run by a group of Runkle parents, is back with a new program for the Fall 2007 term. The classes we offer vary somewhat each semester, as we are constantly trying to find activities that will capture your child/ren�s interest and imagination. It is also in this spirit that we encourage you to participate in the design of this program � we welcome suggestions for new classes or constructive criticism for existing ones.
To enroll your child, complete the registration form (at the back of this brochure). Please complete a separate form for each course and include a separate full payment check payable to Runkle After School Program for each course, and place it in the RUNKLE AFTER SCHOOL registration box located in the main office. Extra registration forms can also be found there. If a class is oversubscribed, participation will be determined by lottery; late or incomplete applications will not be included in the lottery. Priority will be given to new registrants except in Chess and Karate. Registration and payment should reach us no later than Friday, January 12. We may accept late registrations (at our discretion and with a $10 late fee) if a class has not filled. Final class lists and room assignments will be posted on our bulletin board in the upstairs lobby on Wednesday, January 17. This will be the only notification you will receive and we encourage you to check the list to confirm correct enrollment.Back to Top
Tuition payments are fully refundable if the request is made to us in writing by the end of the first week of classes; we cannot issue refunds to students attending more than one session of a class. Partial scholarships are available to children in the free or reduced lunch program, reducing the tuition for one class per child per session by 50%; others may apply (in writing)based on need. Please indicate you are requesting a scholarship on the registration form. No scholarships are offered to late registrants. Please note that if a class is canceled due to low enrollment, the application and check will be shredded. We do not return the uncashed checks.Back to Top
We advise you to double check the exact dates for each class your child/ren have signed up for. Classes will be held on early dismissal days, but not on school holidays and during school vacation. We do our best to notify you in advance of any class cancellations. Teachers are given class lists with phone numbers to facilitate this. If a class is cancelled for any reason, a make-up class will be scheduled on the week following the last scheduled class or on the next date available.Back to Top
The school crossing guard is not on duty for the RUNKLE AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM. Parents are responsible for the safe transportation of their child/ren to and from classes. Children coming from Extended Day will be escorted to their classrooms by an Extended Day teacher, if this is deemed necessary by Extended Day. Extended Day will also provide for the safe return of your child/ren to Extended Day, at the discretion of Extended Day. If your child is registered for Extended Day the same day s/he is attending an After School course, s/he must check in with Extended Day first. Please be reminded that it is not the responsibility of the RUNKLE AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM or the Runkle School to supervise your child/ren before the beginning of each class or between classes. Please pick up your child promptly.Back to Top
Children attending classes in the RUNKLE AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM are expected to adhere to Runkle�s standards of classroom behavior (The Runkle Code of Conduct). If a child is repeatedly disruptive or uncooperative, we will contact the parents. If the child�s behavior does not improve, the child will be dismissed from class.Back to Top
