Summary of Enrollment Information 2014-2015 t t t t t t t t

All fees are per child - there are no discounts for multiple children in a family.

Financial assistance is not available for the JCDS After School Program.

In all cases of late pick up, late fees will be assessed at the rate of $1.00/minute. Please be advised that students who are not picked up on time at the end of the school day from their classrooms will be sent to the After School Program, and families will be charged the drop-in rate for the afternoon.

Please make your program and club selections carefully, as we will not be able to refund your money once it has been sent in. Spots fill up quickly and placements are made on a first-come first-served basis. If a particular day fills up, we will start a wait-list and you will be notified if a place becomes available.

The JCDS After School Program reserves the right to assess late fees of 2% of the overdue balance for payments over 30 days late. If balances remained unpaid for 60 days, your child/ren will be suspended from the After School Program until payments are made.

Please submit 10 postdated checks or one check for the full amount, made out to JCDS After School Program.

All clubs must be paid in full prior to the start of the session to guarantee a spot for your child.

We have limited space for drop ins on a daily basis. If you are in need of After School on a random day, please contact the office no later than 2pm. The cost for this is $18 from 3:30-4:30, and $ for anytime after 4:30pm. This needs to be paid at pickup with a check.

Friday Option New this year, we would like to offer a Friday After School option. Due to the fact that Shabbat candle lighting times vary from week to week, the following is the schedule of dates and times that After School will be open. To ensure that this option is available, we will need a minimum of 6 enrolled students. When you apply for this option, please write out a separate check for Friday only. We will inform you when we have met our minimum enrollment needed. The cost per child $800 for the year.

Description of JCDS After School Clubs by Day of the Week, 4QSJOH 2015 MONDAY Dungeons & Dragons Led by: Jeremy Warren Grades 4-8 3:30-4:30pm 10 weeks Come spend Monday afternoon as a wizard! Or a ranger, an alchemist, a goblin, or whatever else you can imagine.

There’s something sinister stirring under the town, and it will take a team of heroes to defeat it. We’ll tell stories and have adventures, explore ancient ruins and forgotten tombs, and learn some math and statistics as we contemplate whether or not it’s a good idea to use your Rapid Shot modifier to attack that armored fire elemental. Role-playing games are a great exercise in collaborative improvisational acting and group problem solving, but more importantly, they let you cast lightning bolts at frost giants! All levels welcomed.

Speech Team Grades 6-8 3:30-5:00pm 10 weeks Participants in the JCDS competitive speech team will choose pieces to learn individually or in pairs, and will prepare them for performances at Middle School tournaments. Tournaments are held on Sundays at various schools around eastern Massachusetts. The students will do warm up activities, play drama games, practice their own and critique others’ performances, and receive individual coaching.

Private Lesson: Violin or Piano Led by: Daniel Broniatowski Grades K-8 3:30-6:00pm 10 weeks Individual, ½ hour private violin or piano lessons provide your child with a personal, intense education in music. Daniel incorporates violin technique, music theory, and rhythm into the lessons. Regular practicing at home is a must!
