Did You Know?
Will you be taking a vacation this summer? Click HERE to see how to ask for a Vacation Credit! To receive vacation credit, the Extended Day Office must be notified in writing a minimum of two weeks in advance. Only families on a consistent contract enrolled for the entire summer program qualify for vacation credit. The number of days per week of the consistent contract is how many vacation days during the summer a family can receive. Failure to give a two week written notice will result in being charged the normal weekly fee. Credit will be applied to accounts on the last bill of the summer. Vacation credit is given during the summer program only.
