What dates does Planet Science meet?
See Calendar tab
My child goes to the YMCA after school, how will that work?
Please indicate on the registration form if your child attends the YMCA After School Program. In that case, when club ends for each date, a Planet Science volunteer will bring your child to the YMCA Program where you can pick your child up as usual.
What is the refund policy?
Planet Science is funded partially through the Scribner Road PTA, and partially through the club fee.
These fees are used for hiring presenters, purchasing supplies, purchasing snacks, and ordering T-shirts for all participants.
We begin making those purchases as soon as registration closes.
For this reason, we have to limit refunds if you or your child decide you no longer wish to participate in Planet Science.
- Registrations that are withdrawn by November 25th will be refunded at 50% of the club fee.
- Registrations that are withdrawn after November 25th are not eligible for a refund.
- Planet Science fees are not pro-rated. If you sign your child up for Planet Science, but have to miss any of the scheduled activities, there are not partial refunds given for missed dates.
- If Planet Science is cancelled for weather related issues (i.e. snow days), we will do our best to reschedule presenters, but please understand this is not always possible. Partial refunds are not given for this.
- There is no additional fee for participation in the Science Fair.
If I have more than one student in Planet Science, do I have to volunteer for multiple dates?
If you have more than one child in the program, you only have to sign up for one volunteer spot.
Do I have to send a note on the day of Planet Science so my child’s teacher knows that he/she will not be getting on the bus?
### SCRIBNER POLICY ###
The Scribner office staff need your permission to allow your student to stay after school for an extracurricular program.
- We have integrated your permission into the online registration.
- When you register, please make sure to look at the dates carefully and confirm that you intend your child to attend Planet Science Club for the scheduled dates. Submission of the registration will serve as your electronic signature giving permission for your child to stay after school for the dates selected.
- The school office will be sent a list of the children that should be sent to Planet Science instead of their normal dismissal (i.e. bus or parent pick-up).
- ** PLEASE NOTE ** If your child is absent from school on a club date, or if there is a reason that you are unable to have your child stay, please send a note or call the office to inform them that your dismissal plan is changed. Unless that is done, it will be assumed that your child should be at Planet Science after school. This way we won’t panic and think that your child was accidentally sent home to an empty house.
