Cancellations and Transfers:

  • We require one month’s (31 days) written notice for preschool + ASE program cancellations and schedule changes. Partial months will be prorated. Please note that prorated tuition will be charged at the time of cancellation.

    Deadline for Withdrawal:

  • Cancellations or withdrawals scheduled after March 1st, 2027 will not be accepted. If you decide to withdraw after this date, you will be responsible for paying the full tuition for the rest of the academic year.

SCH Cancellations:

  • If SCH cancels a program, we will make every effort to provide a make-up option. If you are unable to attend the make-up, or we are unable to offer a make-up class, you will receive a family credit for the missed session. 

  • If SCH must cancel a program due to inclement weather, smoke, neighborhood-wide power outages, or other environmental safety concerns outside of our control, we will not offer a credit or refund for the cancelled sessions.

    * SCH strives to provide reliable and safe programming for our community. We also prioritize the safety and livelihood of our staff. This policy allows us to continue to pay our staff a liveable wage even during unforeseen circumstances.  If this policy poses a significant financial hardship for your family, please email will@sellwoodcommunityhouse.org to request an exception. 

All cancellation requests and questions must be submitted in writing to ase@sellwoodcommunityhouse.org.

Frequently Asked Questions

    3:15-4:45: Small group enrichment options (kids get to choose!)

    4:45-5:00 Clean up

    5:00-6:00: Recess and pick-up

  • Examples of our enrichment options include arts and crafts, cooking skills, gym games, outdoor explorations, fiber arts, and so much more! We add different enrichment sessions throughout the year to let the kids explore a variety of activities.

  • When registering, please select the program titled “neighboring schools.”

    You will be responsible for organizing transportation.

  • We know how hungry kids are after school! That’s why a nutritious daily snack, served with water, milk, and fruit, is included with your registration. A monthly snack calendar is sent out in advance, so families with food sensitivities and allergies can plan ahead if our snack does not meet your child’s dietary needs. Please note that we do not serve nuts, but we do not have a completely nut-free kitchen.

  • All of our after-school staff are first aid, CPR, and AED certified. Staff 18+ are part of the Early Learning Division’s Central Background Registry and participate in fingerprinting and an extensive background check. Staff younger than 18 are also background-checked.

  • We maintain a 1:15 ratio (1 staff member to every 15 kids)

  • We offer space for up to 80 students to be enrolled in our program each day. Students are divided into different classrooms (enrichments) to have a smaller, welcoming environment and explore their own interests with a trusted instructor.

  • Our reading club is a volunteer-led activity that many of our after school kids love! Participation in the reading club is optional. We have a large collection of books for all reading levels, and our reading volunteer coordinator takes trips to the library to add more on a regular basis. All reading volunteers are background-checked.

    If you would like to be a reading club volunteer, please contact Leigh at Leigh@sellwoodcommunityhouse.org.

    We love when parents, grandparents, and other community members want to come read with our after-school kids!

  • Yes! These programs are open to everyone, whether or not your child is enrolled in our after school program.

  • Early release camp is available for all families, from 12-6 pm. If your child attends on Wednesdays, early release days are automatically included. Otherwise, a separate registration is required. Space is limited!

  • We calculate the full cost of the program for a full school year, and then divide it into ten equal installments, September through June. Even though June is a shorter month, your tuition payment will remain the same. This allows us to keep our budget and payroll consistent, and it keeps your monthly payments lower throughout the year.
