  • PRICE – purchase price of the Pass is a single flat amount

  • NOTE: The "Expiration Date" is the date after which the Punch Pass is no longer accessible for the families to redeem.  However, it does not restrict the start date of the enrollment for which the punch is redeemed.
    • For example, a Punch Pass that expires on September 30th can still be redeemed for an enrollment that will take place on October 3rd, as long as the redemption takes place before the end of the day on September 30th.
