Q: |
What steps must I take to become a member and register my child(ren) for Axxess? |
A: |
Located at the top of the webpage, you will find a "Join" portal button. Fill out the form(s). Please notice the bolded portion near the top and link below it. You MUST open the link and fill this form out for your request to be considered... (you can add text to the form, once opened, by clicking the "Boxed T" at the top of the page). Once completed, email it to the enclosed email for approval. Once your request form is submitted, you will be notifed by an Axxess Committee member of your approval or denial. You then will be given access to our homeschool Axxess site, in which, you will create an account and register your student for the desired class(es). You will find the class descriptions under the "Class Registration" page, as well as, the sign-up portal. |
Q: |
How much is registration fees? |
A: |
The registration fee to be a member of Axxess is $50 per family, per year, which is added to your family balance when you join or by the admin just prior to registration for the subsequent years. |
Q: |
Are there any other fees associated? |
A: |
After the $50 registration fee, each class will have an independently associated fee. The class fees range from $5-$50. |
Q: |
How do I pay? |
A: |
Once you have put ALL the classes for ALL your children into your cart, you will see a "balance" across the top of the page. Click on that, and it will bring you to your family's accounting statement. The only options for payment will be: checks or moneyorders written out for the full ballance to Lisa Talsma or cash given directly to Lisa Talsma. Mail to Calvary Bible Church,C/O of Axxess, 4617 Grand Haven Rd., Norton Shores, MI 49441. Checks should be made out to Lisa Talsma. |
Q: |
When are fees due? |
A: |
Registration fees are paid annually and may be paid at the same time that you pay for your class fees. April of each year will roll over the next year's $50 registration fee, but that does not need to be paid until you register for classes. If you choose not to register for classes, the $50 fee will be wiped from your account balance in August. Class fees are due within two weeks of completing your class registration. |
Q: |
What if I change my mind? |
A: |
To cancel a class: login, under classes click "archived or view all" (depending on the time of year), switch classroom view to parent (top right), manage class registration (top right), check cancel button, click cancel at bottom. Whether you receive a credit will be determined by whether the tutor has already spent the money on the supplies. The sooner you decide on a class the better chance you have. The registration fee of $50 will be charged for any changes after Orientation Night in August. |
Q: |
What if we decide after starting the class that it is just not the right fit? |
A: |
Refunds for classes are completely dependant on whether a tutor can give the refund. If supplies have been purchased, no refund can be given. If a refund is an option for the tutor, those will still only be given within the first 2 weeks of the beginning semester. Any dropped class after the first two weeks, will not be given a refund. |
Q: |
What if a class I want is full? |
A: |
I recommend that you put your name on the waiting list. You will not be charged for that class until and if a position becomes available. If you should desire, you may go ahead with registering for a different class that hour. That backup class can be dropped if a position for your first option waiting list becomes available. |
Q: |
Do we have to stay the entire time at the church? If not, is it possible to do our parent responsibility at drop off or pick up? |
A: |
No, staying on campus the full time that your student is attending classes is not required. You are welcome to do so. We are always in need to parents who can stay at least an class period to be parent monitors or tutors' assistants. Please consider that option as viable to Axxess' day. If something keeps you doing so, you may strategically choose a cleaning chore that will best fit your drop off or pick up time, keeping in mind that a majority of the cleaning chores will need to be completed at 3:30. |
Q: |
What if the weather is bad? |
A: |
Because Axxess is located in the Mona Shores school district, our policy is as follows: If Mona Shores cancels, we cancel. If Mona Shores delay starts, we continue. An email and FB notification will come out from Axxess at the earliest possible time. If the area where you live is worse off than the area more central to Mona Shores, use your own judgment as to what would be best for your family. If we do not have enough available tutors on a given day, Axxess may be canceled.
