Vacation/Absence Policy:
Please call the center 24-hour in advance before class if your child will be absent and to arrange for the work to be picked up.
Please give one week notice prior to a vacation to ensure that your child’s Kumon work is prepared in advance.
There are no make-up sessions
Kumon is a year-round program. Students absent more than one month during a calendar year must be re-registered and pay the registration fee to resume Kumon study.
Classroom Protocols:
- The classroom area is for students only. We sincerely want parents’ input and observation, but we prefer these at appointed times.
- Please do not come into the classroom to tell your child to hurry up! He or she is already working as fast as possible. If the child needs to leave at a certain time, please notify the front desk assistant and have the assistant get the child for you.
- Do you want to ask a question? Please email, telephone, or leave a note with the assistant at the front desk, or have your child bring the note to the Instructor.
- We respectfully ask that you do not leave your child(ren) unattended at the center (including waiting room) during class time. Parents can use the waiting room or wait in their car. Because of insurance policies, however, we cannot let children go outside to the car. Parents must come inside to pick up their child.
- We ask that all students be quiet in the study room. Young minds are at work! Students should leave their silenced electronics in the waiting room or in their backpacks.
- Children must be potty-trained and be able to go to the restroom on their own.
