EXAMPLES:
- Johnny was signed up online for ASC for the month of September 2019 by his parents. They choose the $60 option. At the end of September, they will receive an ASC invoice of $60 for the month of September. They paid via cheque.
- Bob, Johnny’s friend, was signed up online for ASC for the month of September 2019 by his parents. They choose the $60 option. One day during September, Bob’s parents were 15 minutes late to pick him up. At the end of September, they will receive an ASC invoice of $63 ($60 plus $3 for the one time 15 minutes rounded up to 30 minutes late pickup). They paid via cheque also.
- Susie was signed up online for BSC and ASC for the month of September 2019 by her parents. For BSC they choose the $60 option. For ASC they choose the $60 option. At the end of September, they will receive a BASC invoice of $120 for the month of September. They paid online via credit card.
- Peter’s parents did not sign him up for BASC. One day during September he needed to use ASC from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. At the end of September, his parents will receive an ASC invoice of $9 ($6 ASC plus $3 service charge) for the month of September.
BASC Addendum
Some parents are asking which monthly rates they should select if their usage of ASC differs each day of the week. Our suggestion is to pick the lowest rate that will meet your needs and pay extra for the days you use more of the after-school time.
For example, Scott’s ASC usage per week is as follows:
| Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday |
| 30 minutes | 60 minutes | 30 minutes | 90 minutes | 30 minutes |
| $3 | $3+$3 | $3 | $3+$3+$3 | $3 |
For Scott’s ASC usage, his weekly amount is $24. Scott’s monthly ASC rate comes to $24 x 4 = $96. Looking at the available ASC options, it will be more economical to sign up Scott for the $60 plan and pay an additional $36 for the extra hours, than to signup for the $120 plan.
Another question is about special after school clubs and how that applies to students who are signed up for regular ASC. Please note the following:
- There will be no charges for the wait time before clubs begin
- If your child is registered for regular ASC, this ASC time will begin the moment the special after school clubs finish.
- This statement from the original newsletter students enrolled in specific after school clubs will not be charged ASC fees until 15 minutes after the conclusion of the club – is only applicable for students not registered for regular ACS.
For example, Scott was signed up for the $60 plan. He joined a special after school club that does not start until 4:30 p.m. and ends at 5:00 p.m. His parents will not be charged for the time he spends waiting for the club to start. Because Scott was signed up for the $60 plan, his parents will have until 5:30 p.m. to pick him up on the days Scott attends a special after school club. Extra regular ASC charges with $3 daily service charges will incur only after 5:15 p.m. at 30 minutes increments for those who did not sign up for ASC but are attending special ASC clubs. For individuals like Scott – a person who is registered for the $60 plan and joins a special after school club, his parent’s invoice at the end of the month will be $60 for the ASC registration on top of the fee for the special after school club (e.g. $50 soccer club).
Detention and ASC Fee:
Please note that if a student has been assigned to after school detention, they will be serving their detention in the homework club. Parents will also be charged emergency usage of ASC unless the student regularly attends ASC and the detention duration does not exceed the daily ASC time signed up already.
NOTE: To avoid being charged for the After School Club, please pick up your children from the courtyard promptly. ASC service charges will apply until your children leave the courtyard area.
