I authorize Karis Academy, Inc. to administer first aid as deemed necessary in the event of the illness or injury of my child/children. I authorize transportation of my child to a medical facility, at my expense, if deemed necessary by Karis Academy, Inc. I accept full responsibility for all medical expenses incurred for treatment of my child/children.
I attest that I am the parent or legal guardian of the students named above. I have read this release and approve of its terms.
Please notify us in advance of missed classes in writing at: attendance@karisacademy.com.
We do not guarantee make-up classes for missed classes. However, if we are notified in writing that your child will miss a class before the class begins, he/she may attend another similar class during the semester, up to two times per semester. If no similar class is scheduled, no make-up class will be offered. No refunds will be given for missed classes.
ASE Students: No make-ups, refunds, or credit will be given for missed days of After-School Enrichment (ASE). Make-ups may be scheduled for missed Coding Classes or Music Lessons per our regular policies.
Private/Semi-Private Tutoring Sessions & Music Lessons: If we are given at least 24 hour notice, in writing, that you will cancel a tutoring session, you may reschedule the missed session at a time agreed upon with the instructor. If we receive less than 24 hour notice that you will cancel a tutoring session, you will still be charged for the class and it will not be rescheduled. For Tutoring Students: Please read the additional Tutoring Policy provided by email for additional details.
Please drop off and pick up your children in the front lobby area. At drop-off time, a staff member will meet your child and walk them to their class. At pick-up time, please notify a staff member of your child's name and they will walk your child out to the front lobby. Students who are picked up at the end of Chinese or Korean classes will be walked out to the front by their teacher, but if you don't see them come out, please check with our front desk.
Late Pick-ups: Please be on-time to pick up your child when their class is dismissed. (If your child attends our 2:30PM-6:00PM ASE after school enrichment program, please be sure to pick-up by 6:00PM.) For late picks-ups, we will offer a 15 minute grace period during which no late fee will be incurred. However, if you are unable to pick-up your child by the end of the 15 minute grace period, there will be a $1.00 charge per minute beyond the class end time, including a $15.00 charge for the 15 minute grace period. Be sure to call the office if you are running more than 5 minutes late, so we can make arrangements for staff to stay late and supervise your child.
Extended Care: For occasional early drop-offs or extended care time (before or after regularly scheduled classes) parents will be charged $10 for every period up to 30 minutes. Please schedule these times in advance so we can be sure to have enough staff to supervise! (There is no charge if the parent or guardian waits with the student in our family waiting area at the Front Desk.)
ASE Early Drop-Offs: For students enrolled in ASE (After School Enrichment), there is a discounted "Minimum Day" rate of $5 for dropping off one-hour early on school minimum days (no charge on Wednesdays.)
