• The After School Club begins, the first day of school and runs Monday through Friday on days that school is regularly scheduled. Last day of the After School Club is the day before the last day of school.

• Our registration process for the 2021-2022 school year opens March 1, 2021 at 12am. Please note, priority enrollment will open first for Monona residents. We will update this page once standard registration for the 2021-22 school year opens to non-residents on March 15, 2021.
  
• All remaining after school spots are not first come first served, they are based on a lottery system. To be eligible for the wait list lottery you must enroll by March 1, 2021. If a spot becomes available we will draw from the lottery. All requests received after our cut-off date (March 1) will be placed on the wait list after all previous wait list applicants and will be excluded from the lottery process.
  
• Regardless of whether you register online, in-person or over-the-phone, you also must complete an Emergency Information Packet for your child prior to the first day of the After School Club.

• All staff have experience in working with children, are CPR/First Aid certified and participate in regular training.

• Children are picked up at Winnequah School at 2:45 p.m. and are escorted to the Monona Community Center by After School Club Staff.
• Once a child is signed in at the Community Center by staff, they must remain on site and in program until they are signed out by an authorized adult.

Transfer Policy:
If you want to transfer your child from one enrollment option to another enrollment option, you will need to communicate with the Monona Parks & Recreation office one month ahead of the planned transition. If there is a spot available, you will be transferred and your payment plan will reflect the new option. If no spots are available, you will be placed on the waitlist accordingly. Due to the high demand of our 3-day option, we will not allow any transfers that would require skipping others on the waitlist no matter the circumstance(s).

Withdrawal from Program Policy:
The Monona Parks & Recreation office requires a 15 day notice of cancellation in writing (e-mail, typed, or handwritten) stating their last day of attendance. The cancellation notice is required to stop automated payments. If the cancellation falls on or after the 15th of the month, you will be charged for the entire portion of that month and the remainder of the future payments will be cancelled after the fact. If you are canceling before the program has started, you will not be refunded the registration fee/deposit ($25), but your auto-payment plan will be cancelled.

Inclement Weather Policy:
If Monona Grove School District cancels school for the day or releases school early  after school club will be cancelled.
