After school programs are allowed at Horace Mann due to PTSA sponsorship. Our PTSA insurance policy states that in order to run our programs at least one PTSA member (in addition to the instructor(s)), approved by the school district to volunteer, must be present in each class to witness any potential accidents that may occur.
Chaperones must meet the following requirements:
* Must be over the age of 18. Can be parent, grandparent, nanny, etc.
* Must be a current Horace Mann PTSA member.
* Must have a LWSD volunteer approved application on file with the district.
Any parent who volunteers for all the classes for the session will receive one FULL scholarship for their child in that class. Volunteers can also share responsibilities with a friend and receive 50% off tuition. If we do not get a single volunteer to cover the session, then we will cancel the class(es) without dedicated parents.
It is the PTSA’s responsibility to ensure that each of our members adhere to these policies in order to protect our students, our PTSA and our After School Programs.
PARENT VOLUNTEER RESPONSIBILITIES
Registration will be on a first come first served basis. Open enrollment will end about two weeks after it begins or when maximum enrollment is reached whichever is sooner. Students may only be enrolled in classes by their parent or guardian. New enrollments are not accepted after open enrollment has ended. Official confirmations will be sent. Payment for classes can be made via PayPal with a credit card. If you are unable to pay online via credit card, please contact the Enrichment Coordinator for assistance. Please note that registrations by check will only be processed at the end of the day they are received. If the classes are full at that time, the checks will be returned.
NON-STUDENT PARTICIPATION POLICY
The Horace Mann Elementary PTSA programs accept non-Horace Mann students who reside within the Horace Mann attendance area (as determined by the Lake Washington School District) and are eligible to attend Horace Mann, but are either home-schooled or attend other area schools. Eligible children may participate in extracurricular and other programs such as Art, Math, etc., on a space-available basis. In the event of over-enrollment, students enrolled at Horace Mann will be given first priority for slots, followed by students in the attendance area who are home-schooled. Any remaining slots may be filled by other children in the community. Non-Horace Mann students are subject to the same requirements and fees as those students who attend Horace Mann.
Refunds are based on when the cancellation is received. Cancellations received:
All after-school programs are offered on a per program basis. They are only held when school is in session for a full day. Please check the class web page to determine class meeting times and days.
An individual class may be cancelled due to weather or unforeseen circumstances. Cancellations will be brought to the attention of all participants as soon as possible and a make-up class will try to be arranged. If a child is absent from an enrichment class, there are no make-up classes available. In addition, children are not able to attend enrichment if absent from school.
A program may be canceled in its entirety due to lack of enrollment or unforeseen circumstances. In this case, a full refund will be granted to all participants.
Enrichment classes strive to be inclusive for all students in the Horace Mann learning community. Individuals requiring special accommodations to attend or participate in Horace Mann PTSA’s after school programs are requested to contact the enrichment coordinator sufficiently in advance to allow for any necessary arrangements.
STATEMENT OF INCLUSION
The enrichment program strives to be inclusive of all students in the Horace Mann learning community. If your student requires accommodations or you are in need of a scholarship please email the enrichment coordinator at enrichment@mannptsa.org. All inquires are confidential.
