​
REGISTRATION AND COMMITMENT
​
-
Registration must be completed twice during an academic school year: Fall Semester (August – December) and Spring Semester (January – May). You must register between November 18 and December 12, 2024, to be guaranteed a spot in the Stingers Squad program for Spring Semester 2025. There will be limited enrollment. Waitlists will be available, and we will open additional groups once the waitlist reaches the minimum number of students to support staffing another group.
-
Registration into the program is a commitment to utilizing Stingers Squad before and/or after-school care for the entire semester.
-
To ensure appropriate student/caregiver ratios, we must know the total enrollment before the semester begins. We may not be able to accommodate drop-ins.
-
You may select from various pick-up times daily to create the best schedule for your family. We cannot accommodate any special rates for fewer hours used. You must select from our standard pickup times.
​
EMERGENCY CARE
​
-
If you cannot pick up your student in an emergency, please email Stingers Squad at stingerssquad@stbs.org to inquire if space is available. If approved, the student may stay at the emergency drop-in rate of $16.00 per hour. Drop-ins may be accommodated depending on space availability. We have the right to refuse a drop-in should we be overbooked that day.
​
PAYMENTS AND FEES
​
-
Extended care may be paid in full at registration or divided into four equal payments (monthly). Monthly payments will be drafted to the payment method on file in advance, with the first payment due in January 2025, and the last payment due in April 2024.
-
There is a $7.00 processing fee due at the time of registration.
-
Any registered student who remains after their scheduled pickup time will be charged $16.00 per hour for the extended time.
-
Extended care closes promptly at 6:00 pm. Any registered student that is not picked up by 6:00 pm will be charged $1.00 per minute for late pickup after 6:00 pm.
-
If you have an emergency and need emergency care and have called or emailed ahead of time to arrange this with Stingers Squad, then the charge will be $16.00 per hour in extended daycare.
-
We understand that emergencies do happen, which could make you unable to pick up your student on time. However, please keep in mind that our staff are scheduled to leave at 6:00 pm. Any time a student remains after 6:00 pm, it may place a hardship on our staff.
-
In the event that the school has to provide snacks, water bottles, and/or diapers/pull-ups for students who come to school without these items, families will be charged a fee to cover the cost of these items. The charge will appear on your FACTS account.
​
UNEXPECTED CLOSURE
​
-
To guarantee staff continuity, no refunds will be issued if Stingers Squad needs to close at any time for ten days or less. This will allow our students to return to the same Stingers Squad staff they had during the closure.
-
If Stingers Squad remains closed beyond ten consecutive business days, scheduled payments will be put on hold. If applicable, refunds will be issued at 100% for the period after the ten consecutive days to the end of the prepaid period. Refunds are issued only if the unused days exceed 30 full days (the basis for any proration).
-
Should Stingers Squad reopen, payments will be reactivated and prorated according to the remaining time left in the semester.
​
CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS
​
-
There are no cancellations and/or refunds once before/after care begins each semester.
-
Once the semester has begun, one aftercare schedule change per semester is allowed without an additional charge. Afterward, regardless of the change, any additional changes will be billed a $25.00 fee per change. All change requests must be emailed to stingerssquad@stbs.org.
-
If you need to change your schedule, you must get written permission from the Auxiliary Programming administrative team. This allows us to guarantee appropriate student/caregiver ratios. Please note that we may not be able to immediately accommodate changes based on staffing.
-
No refund or credit will be given for early pick-up or unused days.
-
No unused days may be swapped for other days when your student is not registered for aftercare (for example, if your student is registered for Mondays, you cannot use a missed Monday to pay for aftercare on a Tuesday).
