Charges begin after a four-minute grace period according to the school clock. Late pick-up fees are added to the account and must be cleared by the next time tuition is due or late fees are applicable for the account holding a balance.

A new registration fee will be required each time a student is dropped. Parents can contact the office at any time before these deadlines to make an arrangement for the payment and to avoid late payment fees or their student being dropped.

9. Withdraw/Drop Services Policy: in order to stop services from Zenith Learning, a parent must send an email to info@zenithlearning.org and provide a 10 business day notice.
From the date of the email, tuition will be prorated for that month including the 10 business day notice. If the tuition already paid is greater than the notice of withdraw and the prorated tuition, it will be refunded. If the parent initially paid a deposit, the deposit will be refunded, minus any fees owed. If a parent chooses to re-enroll in Zenith Learning after a drop, the registration fee is required again. If a parent withdraws from services and the account has a balance, information will be sent to a collection agency and re-enrollment is not possible until the account balance is cleared. I understand this policy and will adhere to the required 10 business day notice.
10. I will complete all necessary forms and I will notify the main office of any changes in registration information (e.g. address, phone number, place of employment, etc.). I will pay all outstanding balances or fees from the previous semester or school year prior to my child's registration or my child's registration may be delayed in processing.
11. For before/after-school care: I will make other arrangements for emergency school closings, delays and dismissals (e.g., inclement weather, facility problems). I understand that ZL is not in session when schools are closed. I understand that if the schools are dismissed early due to emergency conditions the ZL is not in session, and my child will be dismissed according to the information I provide to the school office. I recognize tuition will NOT be prorated due to emergency closings, as enrollment in the program continues.
12. I understand that ZL programs and enrichment have scheduled activities and my child should not bring personal toys or special belongings. If my child has a personal item that interferes with scheduled activities or becomes a distraction to the program, staff members may retrieve the item and return it upon pick-up. I will NOT hold ZL responsible for lost, broken or stolen items. If my child is required to bring a device for a specific Learning program, I will not hold ZL responsible for broken or stolen items. Staff members will provide continuous supervision over all personal items.
13. I certify that I have read the above information regarding tuition and I will abide by all the requirements listed under Parent Agreement regarding Late Fees, Late Pick-up Fees, Non-Sufficient Funds Charge and Withdraw/Drop Services Policy.

I/we acknowledge that we have read and understand this document and accept the risk and responsibility of participation in Zenith Learning Programs.
15. TERMINATION FROM THE PROGRAM: I understand and accept that my child may be withdrawn from the program for the following reasons and that payment is due at the time my child is dismissed:
- If my child's behavior is severe, or if my child has persistent misbehavior and does not respond to intervention
