Early Drop-Off Policy

Morning child care is offered from 7:00-8:00 a.m. for those families who have signed up for services. If you regularly need to drop your child off before 8:00 a.m., we ask that they are signed up for morning child care. Barring special circumstances, please do not drop off your child before 8:00 a.m. unless they are signed up. If you have a special need, please reach out to salghani@isind.org at least 24 hours before to work out a solution. 

Procedures: 
Students who are not registered for morning child care services and are dropped off before 8:00 a.m. will incur a fee

A fee of $35 will be invoiced for every 30 minute period the child remains in child care and will be applied per family. Please note that all late fees will be invoiced utilizing the following fee structure: 

This fee is meant as both a deterrence to repeated early drop-offs and to cover the costs associated with paying employees to supervise students. 

Late Pick-Up Policy 

Lower School parents are required to pick up children by 3:30 p.m. each day. 

Parents/Caregivers who pick up a child after 3:30 p.m. are subject to late pick-up fees of $35 per family for each 30-minute increment. 

This fee is meant as both a deterrence to repeated late pick-ups and to cover the costs associated with paying employees to supervise students.  A student who is picked up late can be anxious, and their teachers, whose work day is complete, need to be able to leave according to their regular schedule.

Late pick-up is not a normal program option and should be considered an exceptional occurrence. We understand that there are rare circumstances that impact a parent/caregivers ability to pick up their student on time. If the school is contacted prior to dismissal the school will work with the parent to make emergency accommodations, which could still include a daily childcare fee of $35. 

However, families who are late without notice, or habitually late, will be penalized.

Procedures: 
Students who are not picked up by the close of the carline will be taken to child care, where they will be monitored by the child care team. 

A fee of $35 will be invoiced for every 30 minute period the child remains in childcare and will be applied per family.  Please note that all late fees will be invoiced utilizing the following fee structure: 

At pick up parents will sign a late pick up form acknowledging the time of pick up and the associated fees. 
Students will be picked up according to published childcare pick up procedures.  

If there are two or more violations within one session, a meeting will be set up between the parents/caregivers and the Principal and the family may be required to register for PM childcare.

All information will be discussed directly with the parent or guardian and never with the student.
