General A tuition invoice is sent home
in the first Tuesday Envelope of each month (September-May). Payments are due
the 20th of each month. Payments may be made via the Tuesday Envelope, mail,
personal delivery to the bookkeeper, or deposited in the lockbox located
outside the main office. Annual fees are billed on June 1st of each year, and are
payable in installments over the summer months. It is incumbent upon each
family to ensure receipt of the monthly invoice and remit payment in a timely
manner. In cases of separated or divorced parents, the parent of record is held
responsible for the account unless otherwise mandated by a court of law.
Financial arrangements and disputes are not the responsibility of the school,
and should be settled without the involvement of NAPS staff. Monthly invoices should be used
as a receipt or record of payment. RETAIN invoices throughout each
calendar year for personal records and tax purposes. Do not discard until the
tax return has been filed. The school is unable to supply copies at year’s end.
The school’s federal ID# is 52-6001692. 1.
Tuition is paid in nine equal
installments. First installment is due by 5/20/of the upcoming school year for
returning students, or at time of enrollment for students new to NAPS. Second
installment is due 9/20/of the school year and monthly thereafter. 2.
Annual fees will be billed in one
installment on 06/01/of the school year and are due by 8/20 of the school year.

periods for permanent use of extended care. The first is at the beginning of
each school year and covers September through December. The second enrollment
period is in December and covers January through May. Once

when available is charged to the student’s account the month following the use. Penalty Fees Late payment of tuition: Parents whose tuition payments are not received by the
20th of the month will be assessed a $25 late charge. Returned checks: $25 (After two occurrences, payment must be made by
cash, or bank check for the remainder of the school year.) Late extended-care pick-ups:
There will be a fee at the rate of
$10 for each 5-minute segment after normal closing time. (This
is a
per-child charge.) Three late pick-ups will preclude use
of the
extended-care program for one month. The director will review extenuating
circumstances regarding late pick-ups on a case-by-case basis. Before-school care without
reservation: $15 After-school care without
reservation: Pre-kindergarten

remaining from 3 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. without reservations for after-school care
are sent to the extended-care program and a late fee of $15 is charged to the
student’s account. Students remaining after 12:30 p.m. or 3:30 p.m. will be
charged both the late fee and the daily extended-care rate. Parents are
reminded to sign-out children no matter what the time. Failure to do so will
result in the maximum charge. |
