2. Full Day 8:45 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
3. Extended Day 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Arrival & Starting Time

All children enrolled at Shady Lane are welcome to arrive as early as 7:30 a.m. to participate in early morning activities. At 8:45 a.m. each day, each class comes together in their classrooms to start the school day.

Lunch

All schedules allow students to participate in lunch, with parents providing a box lunch each day.

Financial Agreement

A Financial Agreement signed by the parent(s)/guardian(s) and Administrative Director must be on file for each student.

This agreement details the student's class, hours of attendance, and tuition, including any details of subsidies or scholarships received.

Withdrawl

When withdrawing from Shady Lane, thirty (30) days' written notice is required. Tuition will be charged through the 30th day after written notice is given or the last day attending, whichever is later.

Students with outside funding are governed not only by the payment policies of the funding institution, but also by the policies set forth in their Financial Agreement.
