2010 Winter  Session #3

The Agnon School offers after-school activities for Kindergarten through 8^th grade students beginning in January.  To register, please complete the enclosed “Sign Up Sheet” and return it to Jenny in the school office.  Payment must accompany your registration.

Agnon has a financial responsibility to our instructors that we must commit to prior to the first week of the activity.  Because of this financial commitment, the following policy is in effect for all after school activities: 1) if a student withdraws from a program any time after registering, through the first week of the program, you are responsible for paying 25% of the cost of the program, 2) if a student withdraws from a program any time after the first week, you are obligated to pay 100% of the cost of the program.  Instructors are not responsible for students after the class ends.   Please plan on picking students up at the stated ending time of class.  Children who are not picked up will be placed in after-care.  To print the sign-up sheet, click here.
