Graham Hill will be offering both full day and half day kindergarten for the 2012-13 school year.For a list of frequently asked question about full day kindergarten program fees click here.
 
Parents/Guardians are responsible for payment monthly by the first of each month, if not fully paid.  Parents/Guardians will not be invoiced monthly.  However, a quarterly statement will be sent to their mailing address.  Accounts that are 90 days overdue will be sent to Collection, whereupon collection fees (20%) and interest will be assessed.More information on the cost of Full Day Kindergarten can be found here, Full Day Kindergarten Accounting.  

The Kindergarten fee is only waived for:

•  Students that have applied and received approval by Nutrition Services for Free/Reduced priced meals (FRPL).  For confidentiality reasons, applicants must sign a consent form to share eligibility information with Accounting Department to attend full day kindergarten at no charge.  The waiver is only effective from the month of application approval. It is important to send in your complete FRPL application with disclosure consent signature on the annual form for school year 2012-13 in a timely manner. New SY 2012-2013 FRPL applications are available in August.

 In addition, approved FRPL meal program qualified students will have their FDK fees waived from the date of eligibility however a piece that is regularly missed by the parents is the front page of their meal application with a spot for Kindergarten fees plus their “permission” signature.  Please make sure that you fill out the front page of the Consent to Share Form
.

• Special education students whose Individualized Education Program (IEP) minutes are greater than a half day.

•  Students who are required by the district to repeat the kindergarten year.

Unfortunately, the district cannot offer scholarships, and no fee discount or waiver is provided unless a student meets the above specific requirements.

Half-Day Kindergarten

Students can opt to enroll for half-day program participation, which is free of charge. Most schools can accommodate kindergarten students who choose to attend for half of the program day. Please talk with the principal if you are interested in half-day participation only.
