z After-School Activities 2017‑2018 American School of Milan – After-School Activities 2017–2018 1 AFTER-SCHOOL ACTIVITIES 2017‒2018 American School of Milan – After-School Activities 2017–2018 Registration and Transportation Online Registration Registration for Varsity and Middle School Sports begins at 9:00 a.m. Monday the 4th of September. Registration for all other activities begins at 9:00 a.m. Monday, September 18th, and closes at 3:30 p.m. on Friday, September 29th. Registration is completed online by accessing the ASM Parent Portal and following the After-School Activities registration link. All activities must be paid for at the time of registration in order to reserve a space. Online payments can be made with a credit card or PayPal account. Varsity and Middle School Sports Leagues begin the week of September 11th and end the week of May 21st. All other activities begin the week of October 16th and end the week of May 14th. * Participants in Spring Sports Season will need to provide their own transportation in the last week of practices as the late bus service ends May 17th. **All students enrolling in Active Sports will need to provide a certificate of good health. Behavioral Expectations The ASA programs are viewed as an extension of the curricular day. Students in the ASA programs will need to adhere to ASM behavioral policies and procedures. Students who do not manage their behavior appropriately during sessions will be invited to “not attend” future sessions without a refund. Transportation Use of the late bus service is available, at no additional cost, to those students who are already subscribed to the full bus service (morning and afternoon) or the one-way afternoon service. Students not subscribed to the full service (morning and afternoon) or the one-way afternoon service may pay an additional fee (noted on the activity listing) to ride the late bus at the time of registration for the after-school activity. The Late Bus service begins September 11th to accommodate Varsity and Middle School Sports Leagues. Late bus service for other after-school programs will begin October 16, 2017 and end May 17, 2018. The Late bus service is different from the regular bus service. It is designed to get students to areas of the city where they can more easily take public transportation or be picked up by parents. The After-School stops are generally different from the regular day service stops. On the last page there is a list of the Late Bus stops determined by the school. When registering online be sure to indicate the bus number and precise stop where your son or daughter will get off the bus. To ensure student safety, if there is not an adult at the designated bus stop, the bus monitors will not allow students younger than 12 years of age off the bus and they will be brought back to the school for subsequent collection by a parent. Students older than 12 years will be allowed to get off the buses and go home independently only if a written authorization is received from both of the parents at the beginning of the school year. Students older than 12 years who are already authorized by the parents to get off the bus and go home independently will also be allowed to accompany their younger siblings if a waiver of responsibility is signed by both parents. If you prefer to pick your child up at ASM, you can do so beginning at 5:20 p.m., and absolutely no later than 5:30 p.m. Refunds A refund is only given when an activity is canceled due to insufficient numbers. Most activities require a minimum of 8 students. Refunds are not given when a student chooses to drop out of an activity at any time during the year. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Joseph Leonetti at [email protected]. For urgent matters concerning After-School Activities please call +(39) 02 53000020.
