Howell PAL

   Registration Fee and Tuition Deposit

• Registration fee is due at time of registration ($50 K-Wrap; $40 Before/After Care, Middle School Enrichment).  Only one registration fee will be charged per child regardless of the number of programs in which they enroll.
• A deposit of $100 is also required at time of registration which will be applied toward the June 2011 tuition.  The tuition deposit will not be refunded if enrollment is terminated before the end of the school year.  

   Tuition Fee

• Tuition is due on the 20^th day of each month, in advance of service.  Tuition is payable in 10 equal monthly installments (beginning August 20^th and ending May 20^th).  The May 20^th installment will be reduced by the $100 tuition deposit.
• Monthly payments can be made either by credit card or electronic funds transfer (EFT).  You must fill out an “Automatic Billing Authorization Form” at time of registration.  Your account will be either charged on the 20^th of each month or on the first business day prior to the 20^th of the month should the 20^th fall on a weekend or holiday.  The monthly payment will be in accordance with the “program and attendance frequency” indicated on the signed Registration Form and/or Change Form(s) that I have submitted and the agreed upon rate.
• Tuition received after the 25^th of the month is considered delinquent and a $25 late fee will be charged.  If payment is not received by the last day of the month, your child may be immediately removed from the program.  Collection and legal fees will be at the expense of the parent/guardian. 

   Tuition Calculation

• PAL School Care programs are considered to be annual programs and tuition is computed on an annual basis. As such, monthly payments are equal regardless of the number of school days in a month, refunds are not given for illness or absenteeism and days missed due to holidays or inclement weather cannot be swapped for other days.
• Please refer to our Tuition Schedule for monthly tuition rates.  Please note that tuition is discounted 10% for a second child and 25% for a third child enrolling in a PAL school care program. 

   Additional Fees

• Additional fees are as follows and are due immediately upon use of service: 

* Unscheduled additional day – $15 per day (Before Care/Middle School program); $25 per day (After Care).

* Variable schedule – $15 per month for this option.  We consider a variable schedule to be when a child attends a set number of days per week but the scheduled days of the week may change week to week or month to month.

* Schedule change – First two free; $10 per change thereafter for switching or adjusting registered days. 

* Late pick up – $10 charged for first 15 minutes past 6:00 P.M.; $1 will be charged for each additional minute thereafter. 

   Schedule and Billing Changes

• Schedule and billing information changes must be submitted in writing to the main office by one of the following methods:

* Fax (732-919-1212), Mail (P.O. Box 713, Howell, NJ 07731) or Drop-Off (450 Adelphia Road, across from Tax Office and Hoffman Soccer Field).

• Do not submit change requests to the school site as they will not be considered an official request.  You will continue to be billed based on the information previously submitted in writing to the main office. 
• Schedule changes must be received by Wednesday in advance of next week’s service.  All refunds will be applied as a credit toward the next month’s tuition payment.  Two week’s notice is required to terminate enrollment.  Refunds will not be issued for shorter notification periods.
