Late Pick-Up Fees: Final pick-up time is 6:15 PM. There is a substantial late fee ($5 per minute) for those parents/guardians arriving late. If a child is repeatedly picked up late, they will no longer be able to participate in the AfterSchool Program.

Why did you change dismissal?

The primary reasons for the changes are:

• • To make our classes even better for students!
  • Reducing the movement and noise in our classes benefits our students tremendously. 
  • A universal dismissal time allows ACE staff to remain focused on supervision and instruction in the classroom. 
    • To serve parents better!
      • It’s no fun waiting in the car, hoping that your child is on the way. C’mon down and you’ll be able to pick your child up directly from the Dining Room.
      • To check out students in a timely manner! Just check in with our ACE staffer and we’ll sign your child out.
