Policies
Parents, this is the information you need!
Behavioral Policy
If academic attendance and/or behavior problems should arise, parents will be contacted for a conference to help immediately eliminate any problems. Parents may be asked to withdraw their child from the center that day if necessary.
Discipline
Children are expected to behave in a manner that exemplifies they are willing to learn. Each teacher has the liberty of making and enforcing classroom rules in accordance with administrative policies. The teacher will redirect the child’s behavior on the first incident. After this initial teacher interaction, the child is sent to the office for a time-out. If the problem continues, the director will call the parent and have the parent pick up the child for that day. If the child’s behavior continues to be disruptive, the director will place the child on behavioral probation and the child will be terminated if the behavior is not improved.
Health Standards
If a child becomes sick while in the care of the center, parents will be called immediately for pick-up. Children will be placed in the sick room for a short amount of time away from the other children until the parent arrives. Any child sent home from school sick must be out a total of 24 hours and free of any fever, diarrhea, or vomiting before returning to the center.

Five Optional Days
Each child will receive five optional days a year after your child is enrolled for three months. Once your child has been enrolled for three months, you can use your five optional days at your discretion. It is necessary to inform the director in writing specifying which day or days you are using so your account will reflect the days used. You are not allowed to bring your child to the center and use an optional day. Your child cannot come to the center once you alert the director of your optional day. Once your optional days are used, you will be responsible to pay for any days missed.
Signing In/Out
The state of Georgia requires that a responsible parent or guardian sign each child in and out daily. Only the parent or guardian listed on the pick-up list will be allowed to pick up the child on a daily basis. All alternate persons picking up a child (over the age of 18) are required to show a driver’s license when picking up for the first time. Safeguarding your child is our prime objective.
Visitors
For security reasons, and to prevent any disruption of the educational process, Angels Academy permits classroom visits only with proper administrative approval. All visitors must have proper identification before entering the center.
Payment Policies
The registration fee is $100.00. All registration fees are due before the child’s first day. The registration fee will hold your child’s slot until his/her first day.
Tuition is based on a weekly rate. The full tuition is due on Monday for the week of school attendance. If Monday falls on a holiday and school is closed, tuition will be due on Tuesday. Tuition may be paid (in advance) weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly.
A late charge of $35.00 will be added to all late payments received after Tuesday. Your child will not be able to come back into the center if accounts are not brought to a $0 balance on Tuesday.
