LATE PAYMENT POLICY

Each parent is given a tuition payment amount and calendar of due dates upon registration. If a card declines for a payment, the payment must be paid by the Friday after the decline. If it not, attendance for your child will not be allowed. You can contact the FLASH Manager at the 708-857-2420 and/or flash@olparks.com to take care of declined payments and also add a new credit card to your billing account.

For parents with an unpredictable schedule we offer prepaid Punch Cards. If you do not know when or how often you will need FLASH you may purchase a punch card instead of committing to a schedule. When your child attends FLASH the card is punched and when your run out of days you are required to purchase another card before your child can return. Parents MUST alert the FLASH staff and their child’s school when their child will be attending the program. Punch Cards can be purchase from your child’s site director. FLASH REQUIRES 48 HOURS NOTICE WHENEVER YOUR CHILD WILL ATTEND THE AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM. Punch Cards can be purchased from the Site Coordinator at your child’s site with cash/check, or with the FLASH Manager via a card you have on file. Punch Cards expire at the end of the current school year they are being used for, they do not roll over into the next school year. Refund/credits will NOT be issued for unused punches.

How Soon Can We Start? FLASH requires a 2-business day wait and notice from the time that your child’s completed paperwork is submitted in ePACT before your child(ren) can start the program. Starting sooner than the 2-business day wait will not be allowed as there needs to be time for the FLASH Office to review your child’s information and get necessary information to the FLASH staff at the schools. All parents/guardians will receive a Welcome to FLASH! confirmation email within in 48 hours of receiving your submitted ePACT paperwork. Parents/guardians will be called or emailed if there are clarifying questions about a child’s provided information.
