Tuition
Tuition is collected every 1st of the month, through Electronic Funds Transfer (via bank checking or savings account). A $10 fee will be charged for payments received after the 10th of the month. If you wish to discontinue Kumon, for any reason, we must be notified by the 15th of the previous month. For example, in order to discontinue for the month of November, we need notice by the 15th of October. In the event of discontinuation of studies, prepaid last month tuition will be applied to the last month - in the above example, to November.
Class Schedule
Students attend classes 1-2 times/week. Early Learner students are scheduled and must stick to their scheduled times. Class sessions are approximately 30 minutes per subject. Therefore, students who take both math & reading, stay for about an hour.
Center Session
Only students may enter the Kumon student study area.
No cell phones, games, music, food, drinks, or any other type of distractions are permitted in the Kumon student study area.
Home Study Session
Students must complete their work independently and quickly on assigned dates. We recommend that students complete their assignments in a consistent space and at a consistent time, free of distractions. A student's non-writing hand should be placed firmly on his/her worksheets, while his/her writing hand moves at a smooth rhythm. His/her eyes should remain on the page until the very last problem.
ALL assignments must have name, date, starting time and ending time on the 1st page of ALL assignments.
Additional parental involvement is required for Math levels 7A-4A and Reading levels 7A-3A.
Communication
ALL communication is welcome! We want to hear from you! Feel free to contact us via phone, email, or face to face during non-class hours. Office hours are Mondays and Thursdays from 11 am to 3 pm. You can also schedule a parent conference to learn more about your child's progress and goals.
Please give 1 week notice prior to a vacation to ensure that your child's Kumon work is prepared in advance.
Students absent beyond 30 days must be re-registered to be re-enrolled.
Inclement Weather
We follow Gateway School District decisions on whether to open/close.
Home Grading
Home Grading is highly recommended. Students whose homework is graded and corrected on a daily basis progress more smoothly and rapidly through the program.
Answer books are provided and should be kept in a safe place. When your child completes a level, the answer book should be returned. It will be exchanged for a new answer book.
If students require help from you or a dictionary, please make a note on the work. Feel free to write any helpful notes on the first page of your child's homework assignment. This will help us lesson plan and ensure that your child progresses at a comfortable pace.
Consult your home grading guide for specific tips on the home grading procedure. These guides are located in the parent waiting room. We've also uploaded copies to this website's "Forms" section.
