Fees are due on the first day of each month. A fee of $20.00 will be assessed if payment is not received by the 15th of the month. The ESS program is self-supporting and financially independent of the Poway Unified School District.
SUMMER PROGRAM FEES - All fees for field trip admissions, guest speakers, summer t-shirt, and an afternoon snack are included in the summer program fees.
SIGNING IN & OUT - Students must be signed in and out of ESS daily. Only an authorized person with a picture ID can sign a child out of ESS. Your child is expected at ESS each day. Please notify us whenever your child WILL NOT attend ESS.
VACATION & ABSENCES - Monthly fees can be prorated only when a two-week notice has been given on a Fee Adjustment Request form. Credit is given in five-day increments only and each child is allowed two weeks per school year, excluding Presidents Week and Spring Break (optional attendance). If you choose to extend the two-week allotment, a withdrawal from the program is required and a $75.00 re-enter fee will be assessed upon return. There are no refunds for absences due to illness or partial attendance. Two weeks are also available during our summer program.
DISTRICT BREAKS - The District Breaks in February and April require advance signup for the entire week (no single days).
ILLNESS - If your child is not feeling well, please do not send him/her to ESS. Students who have been ill must be well, and fever free, for 24 hours before returning to ESS or school. If your child becomes ill or suspected to be contagious, you will be notified to pick him/her up promptly. It is very important that you keep us updated on changes in work, home, cell, and emergency phone numbers.
MEDICATION - ESS will administer medication (prescription or non-prescription) to students only if a PUSD Authorization for Medical Administration form has been completed by a physician and parent. All medication must be in the original container. Sunscreen, Chapstick and non-medicated cough drops need only the parent's portion of the form filled in and signed.
