Refunds

REFUNDS AFTER THE REGISTRATION PERIOD FOR EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES ONLY.

FOR THIS REASON, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE CONFIDENT YOUR STUDENT WILL REMAIN ENROLLED IN THIER CLUB BEFORE YOU REGISTER.

WHY DO WE HAVE A STRICT REFUND POLICY?

We use Club enrollment numbers to confirm we meet the minimum amount of registered students required by the club leader or vendor. Refunds given after the enrollment period can reduce the student numbers below the minimum, causing a club to be cancelled late, or money to come out of PTO for a spot that isn't being used by a student.

If your student is unhappy with their club during the first two weeks, we will do our best to find a place for them in another club.

EXCEPTIONS TO THE REFUND POLICY:
*If your student's club does not meet the minimum enrollment, and is cancelled, you will be offered the option to receive a full refund, or put your enrollment cost toward another club. Differences in cost will be refunded/charged accordingly.
*If your child is no longer a student at Parker Elementary, or can no longer attend school in person due to health or other reasons. Every effort will be made to refund a prorated amount, based on the remaining amount of clubs.

*For any other questions, email us at ParkerEnrichmentProgram@gmail.com

We ask that you please keep in mind that After School Clubs at Parker are planned, run, and managed by just parent volunteers. We love bringing the clubs to our students and community, but we all also have jobs, children, and families of our own. We will always do our best to respond to questions or comments in a timely manner, but please forgive us if there is a delay.
