Please make checks payable to your campus. A $10 late payment fee will be charged if all fees are not paid by the following Wednesday after the due date. PACE must charge a $20 fee for checks returned for insufficient funds (NSF). NSF checks must be cleared no later than 10 days after RISD notifies a parent of an NSF check. Checks cannot be accepted from a parent who gives RISD more than one insufficient check. In those circumstances, payment must be by cash or money order. Who will be supervising my child while he or she is attending PACE? How much time will be devoted to academics during the After School Program? Will children have time to relax and play during the After School Program? Yes, a nutritious snack will be provided each day. Schools funded by 21st Century Grant We are so excited that seven of our schools have received the 21st Century Grant that will allow students who attend the program to attend for free. However, due to this budget, the enrollment numbers are limited. Criteria will have to be met for students to be enrolled in to the program. The criteria are located in the registration form. Please complete the registration form and return to the front office of your child’s campus. [ top ] |
