Kashrut Policy<br />
The JCC kitchen is under the supervision<br />
of the Syracuse Va’ad Ha-ir. The kashrut<br />
policy requires strict adherence to the list<br />
of approved foods that may be brought into<br />
the kitchen. This list is available through<br />
program staff members.<br />
Room rental<br />
The JCC rents a variety of spaces at<br />
affordable rates. Our auditorium has<br />
computer presentation capabilities and we<br />
offer kosher catering. We also have various<br />
conference rooms that can be arranged to<br />
accommodate meetings, classes, parties<br />
and other events. For details, contact Erin<br />
Hart at 315-445-2040, ext. 112.<br />
Snow policy<br />
The JCC is committed to staying open<br />
during snowy and harsh winter weather.<br />
For school closings, we make every effort<br />
to remain open for childcare. See page 15<br />
for “snow days” information or call us at<br />
315-445-2360 for details.<br />
Closings are announced on our website<br />

5655 Thompson Rd.<br />

Please indicate this on the registration form and<br />
your credit card will be billed at that time.<br />
Cancellations, refunds & changes We do not<br />
send registration confirmations. We will notify you<br />
only if a class is cancelled. The JCC reserves<br />
the right to cancel a class due to insufficient<br />
registration. In such cases, a full refund or credit<br />
will be issued. Transfers from one class to another<br />
can only be made with prior JCC approval.<br />
Billing<br />
Membership JCC membership is a one-year<br />
commitment. Annual membership is nonrefundable<br />
and payment is due in full upon<br />
joining. Or, for your convenience, you may choose<br />
an alternate payment option such as monthly<br />
automatic payments from your credit/debit card or<br />
bank account.<br />
<strong>Program</strong> enrollment Bills for the Early Childhood<br />
Development <strong>Program</strong> (ECDP) and the After<br />
School <strong>Program</strong> will be issued on or about the first<br />

person or via phone/fax by credit card. You may<br />
also choose monthly automatic payments from<br />
your credit/debit card or bank account.<br />
After School withdrawals, changes<br />
To ensure proper staffing ratios, changes or<br />
withdrawals must be made in writing to the After<br />
School <strong>Program</strong> by the 15th of the month prior<br />

notification is not received, you are responsible for<br />
the original billed amount. Increases in days are<br />
based on availability.<br />
