Latchkey Information 2022-2023
We are excited to announce HEART Academy @ Julian Newman Elementary’s school plans for Latchkey this school year. We will utilize registration and payments through a new app, called Brightwheel. The goal of the app is to have an easier, more efficient way to track attendance, access your payment/balance, sign-in/out, as well as communicate to the teachers when needed. Every student who plans to attend our after school program MUST register and have access to Brightwheel on a regular basis.
TO GET STARTED:
Registration Fee: There is a one time Registration Fee to attend latchkey and must be paid prior to attending. Payment can be made online through our website, cash, or check. The fee is $25.00 for individuals or $35.00 for a family.
Once you have submitted your payment, you will be entered into the Brightwheel database and receive a notification with directions to register your child.
When your registration is complete, you will receive a copy of the Latchkey guidelines and procedures for the 2022-2023 school year.
LATCHKEY INFORMATION:
Latchkey will begin August 10th.
K-3 students will be $8.00 per day (2:45-5:00pm)- additional siblings will be $7.00 per day
Pre-k will be either $2.00 a day (2:00-2:45 dismissal) or $10.00 per day (2:00pm-5:00pm)
Payments will be due every Friday.
Parents will be charged a late fee of $15.00 if students are picked up after 5:00pm. After 5:15pm, the fee will increase to $30.00.
If payment has not be paid after 2 weeks, the student will be subject to dismissal until payment is received.
