• I agree that I have read and will follow the rules and procedures in the BEST Parent Handbook available online at www.brickschools.org and in print by request.
• I agree to assume full responsibility for any damage to school property caused by my child. • My child is expected to attend the BEST Program every day that she/he is scheduled. I will
notify the BEST Office, my child’s school office, and my child’s teacher when there is a change to my child’s BEST Program schedule. All points of contact must be made each time there is a change in your child’s BEST schedule. In addition, chronic offenders will be terminated from the program.
• Any day that my child does not attend school, she/he cannot attend the BEST Program. • I understand that if my child has a persistent pattern of negative behavior, and
interventions have not been successful, I may be asked to remove my child from the BEST Program. No refunds will be issues.
• Based on the magnitude of a behavioral incident, my child can be withdrawn from the BEST for an appropriate amount of time beginning the day after the incident.
• An accumulation of incidents may result in my child’s termination from BEST for the rest of the school year.
• I confirm that my child is in good health and able to participate in the BEST Program’s activities. I understand that a nurse is not available during the hours of operation of the BEST Program. I also understand that medication, including prescription and non-prescription drugs, cannot be administered by staff in the BEST Program.
• I agree that, if it is determined that my child needs emergency medical or dental treatment; I will be responsible for any such treatment deemed necessary by a physician or dentist. Accident Insurance is available for me to purchase and is available through the main office and District Board Office.
• Emergency Medical Release: If emergency medical care is deemed necessary and I cannot be contacted, I authorize the BEST Program staff to act on my behalf in granting permission for my child to receive emergency treatment.
• I agree that if the behavior or health of my child should make it necessary to send him/her home, I, or an emergency contact person, will immediately pick up my child from the program.
Unpaid bills, even for those children no longer attending, will be turned over to the District Business Administrator’s Office for payment and small claims court proceedings will be filed. As per District Policy #5843, a fee of $25.00 will be applied to your account if balances are delinquent for two (2) or more weeks. If after two weeks the balance is not paid, the child will be terminated from the program.
• I agree to record my signature on the attendance sheet each time I drop off and/or pick up my child from the BEST Program.
• I understand that for the before school program, my child cannot be signed into BEST until 6:30 A.M.
• My child must be picked by 6:00 P.M. from the after school program. Pick-up after 6:00 p.m. is considered a LATE pick-up. Late pick-ups between 6:01 – 6:15 P.M. will incur a late fee of $15.00; 6:16 – 6:30 P.M. the late fee is $30.00; 6:31 – 6:45 PM the late fee is $45.00. • In the event that you will be late, please contact your emergency pick-up designee to pick
up your child, and thus, avoid the late fees. Please also call your child’s program site cell phone to inform our staff that you are running late and/or that someone else will be picking up your child. In addition, chronic offenders may be terminated from the program.
• My child is not allowed to leave the BEST Program unless picked up by an adult who shows our staff picture identification and who is listed on my child’s authorized pick-up list which is on file with the BEST Office.
• An authorized adult is ONLY someone 18 years of age or older whose name has been listed on your child’s authorized pick-up list with the BEST Office.
• If my child has not been picked up by 7:00 P.M., the Brick Township Police Department will be contacted.
• The BEST Program will not reimburse families for tuition payments or credit families for unused before or after school program days. The only exception to this policy would be in the case of extended illness, whereby, the student has missed five (5) or more consecutive days of school, all of which must be substantiated by a physician’s written note.
• I agree to give one week advance written notice when withdrawing my child from the program or changing the program plan.
• Late/Non-Payment and Bounced Check Fee Policies: In the event that the check that I provide to the BEST Program for payment of services is returned for insufficient funds/closing of an account or any other reasoning, I will be charged a $25.00 fee, in addition to the original amount due. After one returned check, I will only be allowed to pay for the BEST Program services via cash or a money order.
• In the event that above happens and restitution is not made or non-payment of BEST Program services occurs, and this amount due is sent to collection, I will be responsible for the original debt together with all accrued finance and collection charges, court costs and attorney’s fees, which are allowed by law.
I have read, understand, and agree to abide by all the above.
