THE RUNKLE AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM, independently run by a group of Runkle parents, is back with a new 
program for the Fall 2007 term. The classes we offer vary somewhat each semester, as we are constantly trying to 
find activities that will capture your child/ren�s interest and imagination. It is also in this spirit that we encourage 
you to participate in the design of this program � we welcome suggestions for new classes or constructive 
criticism for existing ones.

REGISTRATION

To enroll your child, complete the registration form (on this website or in the
brochure). Please complete a separate form for each course and include a 
separate full payment check payable to Runkle After School Program for each 
course, and place it in the RUNKLE AFTER SCHOOL registration box located 
in the main office. Extra registration forms can also be found there. If a 
class is oversubscribed, participation will be determined by lottery; late 
or incomplete applications will not be included in the lottery. Priority 
will be given to new registrants except in Chess and Karate. 

Registration and payment should reach us no later than Friday, January 14. 
We may accept late registrations (at our discretion and with a $10 late fee) 
if a class has not filled. Final class lists and room assignments will be 
posted on our bulletin board in the upstairs lobby on Thursday, January 
21. This will be the only notification you will receive and we encourage you 
to check the list to confirm correct enrollment.

REFUNDS AND SCHOLARSHIPS

Tuition payments are fully refundable if the request is made to us in 
writing by the end of the first week of classes; we cannot issue refunds to 
students attending more than one session of a class.  Partial scholarships 
are available to children in the free or reduced lunch program, reducing the 
tuition for one class per child per session by 50%; others may apply (in 
writing)based on need. 
Please indicate you are requesting a scholarship on the registration form. 
No scholarships are offered to late registrants.

Please note that if a class is canceled due to low enrollment, the 
application and check will be shredded.  We do not return the uncashed 
checks.

CALENDAR

We advise you to double check the exact dates for each class your child/ren 
have signed up for. Classes will be held on early dismissal days, but not on 
school holidays and during school vacation.

We do our best to notify you in advance of any class cancellations. Teachers 
are given class lists with phone numbers to facilitate this. If a class is 
cancelled for any reason, a make-up class will be scheduled on the week 
following the last scheduled class or on the next date available.

PICK-UP AND DROP-OFF

The school crossing guard is not on duty for the RUNKLE AFTER SCHOOL 
PROGRAM. Parents are responsible for the safe transportation of their 
child/ren to and from classes.

Children coming from Extended Day will be escorted to their classrooms by an 
Extended Day teacher, if this is deemed necessary by Extended Day. Extended 
Day will also provide for the safe return of your child/ren to Extended Day, 
at the discretion of Extended Day. If your child is registered for Extended 
Day the same day s/he is attending an After School course, s/he must check 
in with Extended Day first.

Please be reminded that it is not the responsibility of the RUNKLE AFTER 
SCHOOL PROGRAM or the Runkle School to supervise your child/ren before the 
beginning of each class or between classes. 

Please pick up your child promptly.

CLASSROOM BEHAVIOR

Children attending classes in the RUNKLE AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM are expected 
to adhere to Runkle�s standards of classroom behavior (The Runkle Code of 
Conduct). If a child is repeatedly disruptive or uncooperative, we will 
contact the parents. If the child�s behavior does not improve, the child 
will be dismissed from class.
