ABSENCES
� Students are allowed a period of absence not to exceed one calendar month per calendar year. (“Absent” means that no worksheets are assigned.) Students reported as absent for more than one month in a given calendar year will be considered un-enrolled students,and the registration fee will be assessed when re- enrolling. Also, such students will forfeit any accumulated Kumon bucks and start with a zero balance should they re-enroll. (Note: Dual-subject students would have to be absent for more than one month in all subjects concurrently for this policy to apply.

ATTENDANCE AND DAILY STUDY
� Attend class during appointed times on Mondays & Wednesday between 1:00 – 6:00 pm or Tuesday& Thursdays between 3:00 - 6:00pm.
� Study on a daily basis.
- It is critical that Kumon work is done daily, and not all at one time,after several skipped days. This is central to the successful Kumon Method.
� Return completed homework,as well as incomplete worksheets, to the Center,so that the Instructor can evaluate and plan each student’s work. Such individualization is what sets Kumon apart from a regular school curriculum.
� Parents should encourage their children to study responsibly and consistently, and ensure homework assignments are timed and completed.
- Parents are strongly encouraged to home grade students’work, if possible, as we feel strongly that daily feedback and correction of work helps students to progress more quickly and smoothly through the program. Please ask the Instructor for home grader training and answer books.
� Parents should provide praise and positive reinforcement.
� Kumon is not tutoring and is not meant to be a “quick fix.” Becoming a better learner is an ongoing process that requires daily practice and disciplined study habits, as well as the continual acquisition of new skills and concepts. Enrollment in Kumon is a long-term commitment.
VACATIONS AND ABSENCES
� Study year-round, even during summer and winter vacations.
� Inform the Instructor in advance if your child is unable to attend a session, and make arrangements to obtain his/her daily assignments—since make-up assignments are not provided.
- Please call or email the Instructor before 1:00 of the class day that your child will be absent from the Center. When picking up your child’s work due to an absence,please bring in completed homework assignments.
- If the student needs work beyond the next class due to vacation,appointments, etc., you must give the Center at least one day’s notice so that appropriate lesson plans can be made and the work can be prepared for you to collect. Please strive to provide Center staff with as much notice as possible when you are planning on going on vacation.
