Enrollment: Before enrollment, parents are required to attend a parent orientation and students are required to take placement tests to determine a comfortable starting point. The starting point determined by these tests is not negotiable. A progress goal will be generated to share with the prospective family.
Initial enrollment commitment in a subject is for one year and continues thereafter without further commitment. If a separate subject is added, there is a one year commitment for that subject as well.
The Classroom: Parents should refrain from entering the classroom. Stop at the front desk and share your concerns with the staff. Class time belongs to the students and they deserve Mr. Saul’s attention. An appointment can be made to speak with Mr. Saul for either a phone conversation or a face to face meeting.
To avoid accidental spills or disruptions, no food or drink should be brought into the classroom. Students should also leave all toys and electronic devices in the car or with their parents.
Cell phones should remain put away (out of sight). They maybe used at the end of a student’s session to let parents know they are finished. After finishing their work students will be asked to wait quietly in the classroom or the waiting room. Parents should remain close by in order to pick up their student(s) in a timely manner.
Repetition and advancement: Each level has a standard completion time, accuracy goals, and method requirements which are used to determine when a student is ready to advance. There are many places in the worksheets and in each students understanding that require repetition. Mr. Saul will use the Kumon Method to determine when repetition is required.
Vacation and time off: Each student may take one month off per year without being discontinued on the Kumon North America database. Students who are absent a second month in a calendar year will need to be enrolled again. The length of the absence will determine if the student will need to adjust their restarting point or test again. Taking work with you when you go on vacation is a good idea. Please let the front desk staff know one week in advance so a logical vacation plan can be made. Remember that changes in enrollment require a 15 day notice.
