Student Drop-Off and Pick-Up
Classes begin and end promptly at the scheduled time. Please plan to drop your child at the center at least 5 minutes early, but no more than 10 minutes before class. Likewise, please arrange to pick him/her up on time after the class. Late pick-up fee of $10 for every 15 minutes apply. To ensure your child’s safety, he/she is requested to remain inside the center until you arrive.
Attendance and Supplies
It will take time to reach the goals for your child. It is essential that you and your child make a commitment to completing the program and spending the time necessary in order for your child to have the best possible experience at ALOHA and achieve great results.
Your child must attend the scheduled weekly class to ensure proper understanding of concepts.
Make sure your child brings the required supplies to each class to include a pencil, eraser, abacus, workbooks (math program), and/or homework, journal (Reading | Writing).
Missing Scheduled Classes and Make-Up Sessions
Under special circumstances, if your child will be missing a class, the Center Director or owner must be notified by email, at least 24 hours in advance. Only then will a make-up class be scheduled. All make-up classes are of 1-hour duration and they expire by December 31st of the current year.
Although we have an option of making up a missed class, please understand that a make-up class will not replace a missed session. Remember, you must contact the Center Director at least 24 hours in advance, if your child is going to miss his/her class and it is your responsibility to follow up to ensure that your child attends the make-up class before the next scheduled class. All make-up sessions expire at the end of the calendar year.
If you are taking a leave of absence or vacation longer than three weeks, you must provide notification at least 4 weeks in advance. If the leave is more than 90 days, the child will need to be re-registered.
Assessment Weeks
For abacus program, the session held during an assessment week (i.e. the last week of the level, usually the 12th week) will last ONLY for an hour (1 hour) or an hour and a half (1½ hours). So, during an assessment week, parents are required to come early to pick-up their children.
