Policies and Procedures
Calendars
Monthly you will receive an ESS calendar for your completion. On this calendar it is your responsibility to enter the AM/PM hours your child will attend ESS. These calendars are a significant tool we use to determine attendance, snack, and staffing. From these calendars, a weekly spreadsheet is made for the aides. The aides utilize this spreadsheet when collecting the kindergartners from their classrooms and checking in grades 1-8 daily at the ESS room.
Calendars are due to ESS by the 20th of each month or a $20.00 fee is added. If we do not receive a calendar for the month in which they attend, ESS will not be responsible for your child
Absences
If your child will be absent from the program on a contracted day, please call the ESS location that they attend; Boulder Oaks (619) 445-4915 or Creekside (619) 659-8695. The school office does not relay their called in absences to ESS. There is a $20.00 fee for not reporting an absence to ESS. There are no refunds or credits for absences or partial attendance.
Late Pick Up
Parents arriving at the ESS Program after the scheduled closing time of 6:00 pm, will be charged a fee of $1.00 per minute. This fee is payable within one week.
