REGISTRATION
Registration happens 3 times per year, a couple of weeks before each session begins.
You may register via your Amilia account. Families who need assistance registering please contact Barbara at bmcgouranps154@gmail.com
Placement in clubs is generally first come, first serve; however, the After School Directors reserve the right to approve the registration or offer priority registration.
BILLING
Payment is due at the time of registration.
Bills are payable online by debit or credit card (sorry, no AmEx). You can also pay with a check made payable to: PTA of PS 154 Brooklyn. Please include the words “After School” as well as your child’s full name in the check memo.
If payment is more than 7 days late, your child may not be allowed to attend until your balance is paid. If you have an outstanding balance of $300 (or higher) more than 30 days overdue, your account will be blocked from registering for clubs. Please pay down the balance via your JackRabbit account or email Susan to set up a payment plan.
Please contact 154billing@gmail.com with any questions regarding credit card payment policies.
PICK UP
Dismissal is in front of the school gates on 11th Avenue. All students must be signed out by their parent or an adult authorized by their parent. If someone not authorized by a parent attempts to pick up a student, the student will not be released to that person until authorization has been obtained.
If you are 15 minutes late to pick up your child from an enrichment club, your child will be waiting for you in the After School office or MMR. Your account will be charged an After-Club Drop-In fee when you are late to pick up your child(ren). Please do not give cash directly to the staff members.
Enrichment Club make up time
Enrichment Clubs will not have scheduled make up time. We will do our best to find a sub in the event the instructor is not able to teach on a particular day. If we are not able to find a sub we will issue a prorated credit towards future programming or issue a prorated refund. If there are future closures mandated by city and state officials, all in person clubs will migrate to an online platform such as Zoom.
