Students are eligible to enroll if they meet Amphitheater Public School enrollment requirements. Students must currently be enrolled in one of the Amphitheater elementary schools, kindergarten through sixth grade.
Enrollment
Each child must be enrolled in the PAL/ASAP program before they can
participate in the program. To enroll a child in the program, the parent or guardian may go to the P.A.L. site here at Harelson Elementary School and get registration forms and the Emergency Blue Card. (If the child has been in the program, a Renewal Registration form may be completed.) All the proper forms and blue card must be completed fully and may be returned to the P.A.L. site along with the immunization record if the child is new to the program. A P.A.L. staff will check the registration forms and
collect the registration fee. Upon payment of the registration fee and completion of all the proper forms, the child is enrolled in the program.
Hours of Operation
The P.A.L./A.S.A.P. centers are presently open from 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. However, hours are subject to change due to a sufficient number of parent requests or change in enrollment. P.A.L. is not responsible for children who arrive at the P.A.L. site before the program is open. All children must be picked up by 6:00 p.m. If an emergency arises, please call the center to inform staff of the circumstances. Children are more secure when they are informed of schedule changes. Children will not be left unattended to wait for their parents!
There is a late charge of $1.00 per minute per child for every minute a parent is late past 6:00 p.m. according to the Site Clock.
