After these dates please drop off your child’s registration form in the Community Schools Mail Box in the main office. Class selection will be based on available spaces. For more information call 617/349-6307. If you cannot come to register at the times listed above because of a prior commitment, please contact the Community School Director at 617-349-6307. Our classes must have a minimum of 6 participants or the class will be cancelled. Please Note: An Annual Application Fee of $25.00 per child is required at registration. (This fee is applicable for the School Year only). PAYMENTS Full payment is due at time of registration, however a payment plan can be arranged with the director. Checks or Money Orders (NO CASH) should be made payable to: Elm Street Community School. If you have an outstanding balance with any Department of Human Service Program, your child’s registration will not be accepted until all payments are made. Class fees are based on the number of weeks a class meets. Returned checks will be charged an additional $25.00. Full payment must be made within 48 hours to avoid disruption in your child’s schedule. REFUNDS If a class is not fully enrolled, the class may be cancelled. You will be notified and given a refund, or an alternative class may be chosen. We understand that there may be times when a class is not what your child expected. A full refund will be given if we are notified within 24 hours after the first class. Partial refunds will only be given if a child is no longer able to participate due to medical reasons. Refunds are not issued for missed classes. EARLY RELEASE DAYS Regular scheduled classes are not held on early release days. A special activity or field trip will be planned. Children must be registered in advance to attend any early release day trips.
PROGRAM CLOSINGS Classes are not held on city holidays, snow days or on days the Cambridge Public Schools are closed. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE Partial scholarships are available to families who qualify.

Please notify us by phone or email if your child will be absent from the program. LATE FEE POLICY Instructors are not responsible for children after the class ending time. All children must be promptly picked up at the end of class. There will be a late fee of $1.00 per minute for each minute you are late after the scheduled pick up time.

Community Schools Bus Policy
The Community School Programs offer afterschool enrichment classes in every elementary
school in Cambridge. Most children attend the classes at the Community School located in their
school building. Some families prefer to have their children attend classes in the school
building located in their neighborhood. If an established bus route exists from a child’s school
to the preferred Community School, very often the Cambridge Public Schools are able to
transport children to that Community School. Parents/guardians need to make transportation
arrangements with the Cambridge Public Schools.
In an effort to support families, beginning this year a staff person from Community Schools will
be available in front of the school to greet children under the age of 9 arriving by bus and will
escort them into the school. Children age 9 and older who have parental permission may enter
the school on their own.
To avoid disrupting ongoing classes and to support children’s full participation in the
enrichment classes, children must arrive no earlier than 15 minutes prior to the start of
Community School Program and no later than 1 hour past the program start time. For a
breakdown by school of the times that children may arrive for programs, please refer to the
schedule below:
