Program Policies and Information

Online Registration

You can register for multiple classes at a time, but only one child at a time. On the Registration page, you can find a catalog of the available classes, filter the classes by day & grade, and then register for the classes you select.

Classes are filled on a “first come, first served” basis. If a class is full, you may sign up for the wait list and will be contacted if space becomes available.
Only credit card payments will be accepted.
Our system only allows for registering one child at a time.
You will receive a confirmation email once you have registered.
If you have any questions, issues, or need additional help, please email the HASAP Team at: heathafterschoolactivities@gmail.com

General Policies

HASAP offers after-school enrichment classes for Heath School students in grades K-8.

HASAP is independently run by volunteer Heath School parents and is not licensed by the Department of Early Education and Care of Massachusetts.
HASAP operates with cooperation from the Heath School, and in the Heath School building, but it is a separately run organization.
The safety of Heath School students is of utmost importance.
Parents and/or guardians are responsible for their child’s supervision both a) after school has ended and before HASAP classes begin, and b) once HASAP classes have concluded.
Parents and/or guardians are responsible for ensuring that their child(ren) arrive safely to their HASAP classes.
HASAP and The Heath School are not liable for children who do not arrive to, or attend, their HASAP classes.
HASAP participants must be picked up promptly once classes have concluded, or be given permission to be released independently or to return to Heath Extended Day.

Behavior

HASAP participants are expected to conduct themselves with appropriate classroom behavior. We do not condone inappropriate or harmful behavior (physical or verbal) of our participants. In accordance with this behavior policy, we will notify parents of infractions as soon as we learn about them.
HASAP Directors exercise discretion in imposing consequences for student misbehavior. When necessary, we will implement disciplinary measures as deemed appropriate.
HASAP reserves the right to withdraw a student from programming for repetitive incidences of disruptive or harmful behavior, for repeated violations of classroom rules, or for any instance of egregious conduct/behavior.
For ongoing problematic conduct with any HASAP participants, we may elect to withdraw that student from a specific class, or all classes, for which they are currently enrolled. HASAP also reserves the right to remove a student from program participation for an extended timeframe if his/her conduct is egregious. Tuition is not refundable.
HASAP also reserves the right to withdraw a student from programming if parents and/or caregivers do not adhere to what we deem to be appropriate and civil behavior with HASAP Instructors, student participants, the HASAP Coordinator, and/or HASAP Directors. Tuition is not refundable.

Attendance

Our instructors take attendance — for their own records only. Your child is responsible for arriving at class, either independently or with a parent/guardian.

Class Cancellations

Heath After School Activities Program (HASAP) operates on afternoons when school is in session for a full day. HASAP will not run under these circumstances:

If Heath School is closed for students.
If Heath School has an early dismissal for students.
Instructor Absence: In the event of instructor absence, we will attempt to find a substitute teacher to fill in for the class, or the instructor may opt to schedule a make-up class at the end of the session. You will be notified via email in the event of cancellations.
Inclement Weather: When school is canceled due to inclement weather, there is no HASAP after-school programming. Make-up classes are not guaranteed.

Financial Assistance

HASAP strives to make its programming available to all families. How financial aid works:

To apply for tuition assistance, you must submit an email to the HASAP Team at: heathafterschoolactivities@gmail.com
Financial aid requests MUST be submitted to HASAP via email to be eligible for consideration.
Aid requests will be reviewed and determined based upon financial need by the Heath School Principal.
Once registration opens, classes will fill on a “First Come, First Served”
Thus, it would be best if we can determine your eligibility during Sneak Peek or early on in the registration process.
If deemed eligible for aid, HASAP will provide financial assistance to help offset the cost of 1 class only per child.
You can ensure a place in the class by proactively paying for that class, knowing that if you receive financial aid, then that portion of your payment will automatically be refunded. If you do not receive financial aid, but you have not paid for that class, then your registration for the class will automatically be cancelled unless you elect to pay for it.
Whether you pay, or not, your payment status will not be part of the financial aid decision-making process.
Financial Aid pricing is only automatically applied to classes that do not have a Wait List.
