PASAR
After School Care Program
THANK YOU.
(HB 1540) We anticipate no change in our delivery of services to you and your child in the 2009-2010 school year. Please thank your legislators for hearing your concerns and supporting your PASAR program. We look forward to serving you.
PASAR
is Plano ISD's after-school care program for students
in grades K-5, located on all
elementary campuses. PASAR has 3 components to the program: after school care, holiday care and a summer program.
The program
is offered from 2:45 to 6:30 p.m. each school day,
with holiday and summer care available at cluster sites.
PASAR is a fee-based program offered after the curriculum and instructional
school day.
PASAR provides a safe and positive environment. Opportunities
are given for students to work on homework, and participate
in structured recreational and fine arts activities
to enhance their overall skill
development. Students must be enrolled at the school
where they are participating in PASAR and fees must
be prepaid for student participation in the program.
The 2009-10 PASAR registration information is available under Rates and Registration . PASAR registration must occur every school (academic) year and every summer in order for a student to participate in PASAR programs.
Your student MUST be enrolled in Plano ISD prior to registering for PASAR.
Tuition Information
The PASAR program was initiated and implemented and continues to operate as a for profit service provided by the District. This program is self-supported through tuition and fees. No tax dollars or grant funds are used to support the after school care program. The program is budgeted on 179 school days. Tuition and our revenue stream is based on annual cost. To keep the monthly payments at a consistent amount, we have based the monthly payments on an average monthly cost. Each monthly payment is not tied to the number of days of school for the specific month.
We value our customers and the students we serve. We know there are other after school care options in our area. We are hopeful that our customers will see that the monthly payment is based on the overall care program for 179 days of school.
