Students are expected to adhere to the policies of St. Mary’s Episcopal School. We reserve the right to dismiss from the program (without refund) any student whose behavior becomes unmanageable. Students and campers are not allowed to be unsupervised on campus and are expected to be neatly and properly dressed. The use or possession of alcohol, drugs, or tobacco products is not allowed, and any students in possession of such items will be expelled from the program, and the appropriate authorities will be contacted, and no refund will be given.
DROP IN FEE
There is a 15 minute grace period from the time the class ends to pickup your daughter unless she is enrolled in After3. After that time, she will be dropped into After3 at the rate of $10.
