Early Dismissal Days And Child Care Responsibility

The school has a number of days when the regular day ends at 12:30 p.m. On such days, parents are responsible for making alternative care arrangement in sufficient time to assure the child's welfare and cooperate with the school's after-school plans for the day.

The school will not assume responsibility to provide cost-free childcare service on Early Dismissal Days. Parents are aware that FEMS operates on an academic schedule. The school is not a day care center. Students will be picked up at 12:30 p.m. on each scheduled early dismissal day. Parents of a student not picked up will pay the required $3.00 per hour up to the regular closing time, and will pay $1.00 per minute after the normal closing time. There is no free after-school care provision for any student on early dismissal days. Parents will be billed for students remaining at the school on Early Dismissal Days after 12:45 p.m. The fifteen minutes would be minutes of grace.

The school will not be responsible for private arrangements made with any school employee, volunteer, or parent for childcare on early dismissal or days when school is closed.
