• Can my child bring a snack?
  
  Yes. Your child may bring a small peanut-free snack and water. 

• What happens if my child is disruptive in class?
  
  Your child will be sent to the office and you will be called to pick him or her up early. The instructor will then determine if your child will be allowed to return to the program the following week. No refunds will be given if a child is removed from a program for poor or disruptive behavior. Participation in after school programs is a privilege and behavioral misconduct that is disruptive and unfair to other students will not be tolerated.

  After school programs are not school sponsored events.  They are run by PFA volunteers and your support of the PFA makes after school programs possible.

  Please send a note in with your child to school. 

• What if I am running late?
  
  Please call the school office at 724-935-5081 and the instructor will be notified. Please do your best to be on time as instructors and school staff will need to stay with your child until you arrive.

• What if my child is absent or will miss an ASP?
  
  If your child was absent from school, no notification is necessary. If your child attended school that day and is unable to attend the after school program, please send in a note or call the school at 724-935-5081. 

• Can my child drop a class?
  
  A child may cancel or switch classes up to 3 days prior to the start of the first class.  Once a child is enrolled and the program has started, no refunds will be given.  In extenuating circumstances, please reach out to one of the after school program coordinators. 

• Why aren’t all classes the same price?
  
  The price of after school programs varies based on the number of weeks the class is offered.  Additionally, some classes have a materials fee to cover any needed class supplies.
