Parent Info
Inclement Weather Policy
Oaks Trail Academy makes every effort to be open on all weekdays of the year, except holidays as noted. We realize that parents need to work and that reliable childcare is very important. However there are times when it is not safe or feasible to operate the facility because of inclement weather ; i.e. ice and snow.
In those circumstances, closures will be the same as those for Garland I.S.D. Many radio and television stations broadcast this information, as well as Garland I.S.D.’s website. If this information is not available or if the public schools are not in session OTA closing will be left to the discretion of the Executive Officers. Please check our website, voice mail, and Facebook for updated information.
GISD Delayed Openings – Oaks Trail Academy will open the same time as GISD on delayed openings.
Oaks Trail Academy will NOT provide transportation to public school on delayed openings but will make every attempt to pick up from school at their normal dismissal time.
Weather closings are not subject to reimbursement. Regular tuition is still due.
Field trips will not be attempted is weather conditions present a hazard.
Please remember to leave a few minutes early when picking up your child during inclement
weather.
Enrollment
Oaks Trail Academy offers a 10% tuition discount to families with multiple children enrolled. Ask about special programs for public school teachers, active-duty military and police officers.
We do not make it a policy to deny enrollment to children with special needs. Oaks Trail Academy makes no assumptions concerning any child’s abilities. We will make an individual assessment to determine if a child’s needs will be met in our group childcare setting.
Holiday Closing
New Years Eve, New Years Day, President’ Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and the Friday after, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, Good Friday, Martin Luther King Jr Day
If the holiday falls on a Saturday, the center will be closed on the Friday before. If the holiday falls on a Sunday, the center will close on the Monday after.
If a holiday falls on a Thursday, we have the option to close the Friday following the holiday after giving a two week notice of closing. We close at 3pm the day before Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve. Oaks Trail Academy has the right to close for an event or emergency situation and will notify parents of closing (such as inclement weather). Due to fixed cost, averaged over a calendar year there is no reduction in tuition for these holidays.
