• ESA Families:  If your teacher is a Class Wallet vendor, you may use CW for payment.  The ENTIRE Semester and Supply Fee must be paid at the time of registration.
• Eastside Explorers is NOT a vendor contracted with ESA and does NOT accept payments from ESA/Class Wallet. Payments made to our 501(c)3 nonprofit for membership, etc. do not qualify. 
• Eastside Explorers does not provide receipts for you to submit to the Department of Education.  It is the sole responsibility of each family to submit all the necessary documents to the DoE.  You may view your accounting information and download any payments by logging in to your EE account, clicking on "Balance" on the upper-right, orange toolbar, and then clicking on payments made. You can then download any receipts, etc.
• If you take classes on Mondays, most teachers accept ESA payments.  You must check with your teacher to see if he/she is a registered Class Wallet vendor.  Your teachers will be registered on Class Wallet under their own name,  not Eastside Explorers, since they are independent contractors.  
• It is the sole responsibility of each ESA family to refer to their ESA Parent Handbook to determine any coverage eligibility.
• If you have specific ESA questions, please contact a Class Wallet representative at the Dept. of Ed. directly.

To pay the teachers using ESA funding:

1. Log in to your EE account. Register for classes on the EE website.
2. Email your class teachers and EE treasurer to let them know you are an ESA family and will be paying via Class Wallet. NOTE:  Teacher emails can be found hyperlinked on class descriptions and teacher names.
3. Submit full semester + supply fee payments to individual teachers on Class Wallet system. PLEASE NOTE:  Submitting a payment via Class Wallet does not mean it is "Approved" or that the teacher has received your payment.  This submission process takes a while.
4. Once your payment has been "Approved," forward a copy of the receipt to your teacher AND the EE Treasurer so that account may be adjusted.

Please read the FULL class descriptions, Supply lists, Parent & Student Expectations, Homework Expectations, Late Payment Policy, and Refund Policy listed on each class description below before registering for classes.  

SICK POLICY:  We expect all students to stay home when feeling ill.  Students will be sent home if they complain or feel ill on Class days.  Please read and sign our Sick Policy, Covid Guidelines, and Liability Waiver HERE.

PAYMENTS TO TEACHERS:  Our tutors are independent contractors, not employed by Eastside Explorers. We do ask that all families registering for classes do so with the understanding that they are contractually obligated to pay their tutors all fees for the entirety of the semester. Failure to do so not only jeopardizes our partnership with our teachers but will also result in your termination from our co-op as a whole.

REFUND POLICY:  After registering for a class, no refunds will be given less than two weeks from the class start date.  All Supply fees are non-refundable. If you choose to withdraw your student before the two-week deadline, you must submit an email request to the teacher(s) and EE Treasurer for any tuition reimbursement. 

By registering for classes, you contractually agree to these policies.
