Students will not be kept from participating in activities because of financial need. Federal guidelines for determining free and reduced lunches will be used as the criteria for waiving or reducing fees. A semester or monthly payment plan will also be available to parents to spread out the impact of the fees.
As you may be aware, we charge tuition for children enrolled in the preschool program. Children enrolled in this program do not generate state reimbursement funds and, as a result, the cost of the program must be borne entirely by our operating budget.
Preschool - 5 days per week, 3 hours per day: $3000 per year (may be paid by semester or monthly)
