Picking Up from The Zone

The Zone hours end by 6:00 p.m.

• Pick-up must be prompt by or before the conclusion of the student’s enrolled Zone session only and by the custodial parent/legal guardian or a designated emergency contact on record with the school.

• In case of need for a release of a student to anyone other than the custodial parent/legal guardian or designated emergency contact on record with the school, the after-school care program manager must be notified in writing of the change.

• The after-school care manager must also be notified in writing by the custodial parent/legal guardian of any persons who are specifically barred from picking up the student. Classroom clocks will be utilized as the official time to determine if the student is picked up late. Results of picking up a student late include:

• Students picked up after the conclusion of the student’s enrolled Zone session incur a late fee of $2.00/minute, which will be billed to your student account at the conclusion of the billing period.

• If the student is picked up late five or more times, there will be an additional $10.00 fee charged, and the student may be removed from the program.

• If late fees remain unpaid after five school days, the student may not attend The Zone until payment clears the late fee balance.

• If a child is not picked up by 8:00 p.m., and the program staff have not received communication from the custodial parent/legal guardian or designated emergency contact on record with the school, the student will be turned over to the appropriate Cobb County authorities.
