Connections Payment Policy The cost for Connections is $8.00 per child per day. If you choose to pay daily or weekly, cash or checks (made out to Panama Methodist Church) may be given to Sandy Crossley at Connections when you pick up your child. She will give you a receipt for your payment. Payments should NOT go toPanama Central School. The school is not responsible for payment. If you choose to pay monthly, a bill will be sent to you at the end of each month. Payments are due within 30 days of the receipt of the bill. All accounts must be current in order for the child to continue to participate. When payments are delinquent over 30 days, the child may not be allowed to participate in Connections until those payments are made. Payment arrangements can be made with the church ahead of time to avoid delinquency. Financial hardships will be considered if a request is made. Please call 782- 4031 to speak with Pastor Steve Taylor to make payment arrangements. Thank you for your consideration of our teachers and the Panama Methodist Church by making timely payments.
