GAP Additional Information

Payment – Must accompany registration. Acceptable forms of payment are checks or credit card. (A nonrefundable fee of $5 is charged for all credit card payments.) If paying by check, please make the check payable to Conejo Schools Foundation and put the student’s first and last name and course in the memo section of the check. Please include your phone number on your check. There will be a $25 charge for all returned checks (no exceptions), and the student will be removed from the class and placed at the bottom of the waiting list. Please contact foundation@conejoschools.org if you would like to set up a payment plan.

Confirmation of enrollment: Your receipt is your confirmation of enrollment. Final course confirmation will be emailed the first week of June. There is a nonrefundable charge of $5 for the convenience of all online payments. Your original registration receipt — which indicates if your student was placed in a class or is on the waitlist — is your confirmation of enrollment status. If your student is on a waitlist, you will be notified as space becomes available. You will receive an email with more information about the particulars related to the GetAhead Program (such as classroom details and teacher information) in the beginning of June.

Refund policy: Students that are placed on a waitlist that are ultimately unable to be accommodated will receive a full refund. Students that withdraw from summer school prior to June 1, 2023, will receive a partial refund of 50% of the tuition fee. No refunds will be issued after June 1, 2023. No exceptions. (The $5 processing fee will not be refunded under any circumstances.)

Communication: You will receive a confirmation of enrollment email upon registration, an updated information email toward the beginning of June and a welcome email from the course instructor a week before your course begins. The instructor will send daily emails or host online sessions to ensure open lines of communication between students and teachers. Teachers are available for course and grade-related questions, and the principal is also available at the getaheadsummer@conejoschools.org.

Attendance policy: Within our GetAhead Program, we utilize two different learning environments: Asynchronous Learning and Synchronous Learning. Attendance will be monitored through student participation each day that class is being held. This participation will look different depending on the learning environment being utilized. In the Asynchronous Learning environments, students are expected to login daily to the online platform being utilized by the instructor. In addition to log in, students are expected to access posted work/assignments, complete work/ assignments, and submit work/assignments according to the schedule provided by the instructor. In this environment, a student may choose to work ahead to complete assignments but may not fall behind. In the Synchronous Learning environments, students are expected to log in and participate in class lessons and activities during the scheduled time of the class. This schedule and timing will be established by the instructor of the course prior to the first day of the class. In addition to the “meeting time,” students are expected to access, complete and submit posted work/assignments according to the schedule provided by the instructor.
