Dear Parents,
Please be advised that it is the responsibility of each family to ensure that all required documentation for your EMA / Step Up for Students account is completed accurately and submitted by the required deadlines.
If you have any questions about your EMA account, need assistance with the funding process, or are unsure whether all required documentation has been submitted, please reach out to our office and schedule an appointment as soon as possible. We are happy to help you navigate the process and address any concerns before they affect your child’s services.
If your account does not receive funding for any reason, families have the option to pay privately to ensure there is no interruption in their child’s tutoring services.
Please keep in mind that space in our tutoring pods is limited, particularly for our homeschool students. Keeping funding or payment current is what secures your child’s reserved space.
We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we work together to ensure uninterrupted educational services for all students.
Thank you for trusting Hand-In-Hand Educational & Behavioral Services with your child’s educational journey. We look forward to a successful and rewarding school year with your family.
