Early Dismissal (Weather related) 

On days in which we dismiss early due to the weather conditions, we will not have Pirate Pals in the afternoon. You will be responsible for making other arrangements for your child. 

Tuition/Collection Procedures: 

The tuition chart below reflects a WEEKLY rate. Tuition should be paid in full during the week prior to attendance. Tuition is collected every Thursday for the following week; a weekly deposit is made every Friday. Late payment will result in a delay of check processing. Paying in advance for several weeks is allowed. All account balances must remain up to date. A $10 late fee will be assessed on the following Tuesday for lack of payment. If your balance is not paid, your child will not be allowed to stay at Pirate Pals. The elementary office will contact you to make alternative arrangements. Excessive overdue balances will result in immediate dismissal from the program. 

If there is a week that your child will not be in attendance, please notify the site director or program coordinator in writing at least one week in advance. Unless written notice is given in advance, you will be charged.
