2005-2006 Full Day Kindergarten
For 2006-2007 School Year Information Click Here
Class size
Class size begins at 20 students but may rise to the average size
of other regular kindergarten classes if those classes are
larger. Curriculum
The regular district kindergarten curriculum provides the base
for this program.
There is additional emphasis upon problem-solving skills,
language development, and language experience activities.
The extended time allows more in-depth study of curriculum units
and opportunities for the development of social skills in both
individual and cooperative group formats. A rest period, physical
activity period, and lunch are incorporated into each day.
Students are combined with other kindergarten students for
various academic activities.
Selection
If more than 20 students register for full day kindergarten, a
lottery drawing will be held. Once notified, parents have five
days in which to pay a non-refundable deposit of $25.00 plus half
of the first month's tuition to assure a space in the class.
Payment is made at the building site. Students assured a class
space, who qualify for free and reduced meals, may participate in
the 3% district scholarship lottery. If you wish to participate
please notify the school secretary and complete the free/reduced
qualifying form. The 3% scholarship lottery will be conducted two
weeks after the building lottery.
Principals will determine each year, based upon available space
and staff, if they are able to offer a full day program.
Following registration and the lottery, principals will determine
if sufficient need exists to provide the program for that year.
Eligible Students
Registered students interested in the full day program will be
included in the lottery. If the class is not filled, enrollment
will be open on a first come, first served basis. Students may
register and participate in only one building lottery.
Out-of-district students will be allowed to enroll on a space
available basis on the first day of the school year. Students who
move out-of-district during the school year may continue the
program for the duration of the school year.
Cost
Parents will be charged tuition to cover the unfunded portion of
the full day kindergarten program, including additional
materials, supplies, teacher time, educational assistant time,
and the administrative costs of processing tuition checks.
Tuition also supports the 3% scholarship program.
The cost of the program will be $2700.00, payable in several
payment options. Please see the agreement form for available
options. The cost of the program for students selected in the 3%
district scholarship lottery is $900.00 if qualified for free
meals and $1350.00 if qualified for reduced meals.
If you have further questions concerning the program, please
call the Office of the Administrative Assistant to the
Superintendent at 837-7025.
