The Extended Care Program is self-supporting and thus fees will be charged in addition to educational cost.
There are three rate plans available:
HOURLY RATE: $9.50 per hour, per student
There is an annual registration fee of $55.00 per child. The registration fee will be deducted upon your completion of the registration form in FACTS. The hourly rate is charged in quarter-hour increments with a minimum charge of one half-hour. You will receive a billing email at the beginning of each month from FACTS for the previous month’s usage. The amount due will be automatically deducted from your bank account on file on the due date.
DROP-IN RATE: $19.00 per hour, per student
The drop-in rate is charged in quarter-hour increments with a minimum charge of one half-hour. Recommended for occasional and emergency drop-in usage. No annual registration fee is required if only using the drop-in option. You will receive a billing email at the beginning of each month from FACTS for the previous month’s usage. The amount due will automatically be deducted from your bank account on file on the due date.
FLAT RATE (UNLIMITED PROGRAM USAGE)
There is an annual registration fee of $55.00 per child. The registration fee will be deducted upon completion of your registration form in FACTS.
The following fees may be paid as a one-time payment (due in September), as a semi-annual payment (due in September and January) or as nine (9) monthly payments starting in September and continuing every month through May. Payments are deducted via FACTS on the 20th of each month.
Annual Rates:
1 Student: $3,286.80 (9 monthly payments = $365.20/month)
2 Students: $4,593.60 (9 monthly payments = $510.40/month)
3 Students: $5,725.50 (9 monthly payments = $636.17/month)
4 Students: $6,454.80 (9 monthly payments = $717.20/month)
*For students who are registered for the Flat Rate Program after September 20, the program amount will be subject to a recalculation based on the remaining school days.
*Monthly payments do not equate to individual monthly usage. The Flat Rate fees have been prorated for the entire school year, including minimum and non-operational days and are paid in equal, monthly installments, taking into consideration that there are periodic holidays, in-service days and vacations. Therefore, there will be no reduction of fees for the months where holidays, in-service days and vacations occur.
The Flat Rate Plan will be most cost-effective for families who have:
- One student attending Extended Care over 2 hours per day
- Two or three students attending Extended Care over 1 ½ hours per day
- Four students attending Extended care over 1 hour per day
Registered families are allowed to change their rate plan one time throughout the year. Any requests for a rate change must be made and submitted before March 31 of the current school year. The form can be obtained by contacting Mrs. Rosie Chavez at rchavez@serraschool.org.
