Dear Parents,
|
Please Read Carefully |
Due
to the severe decrease in State aid funding, our board of education will no
longer be able to provide a no charge Pre-Kindergarten program as we have in
the past. As a result of these financial constraints, our board of education
has decided to sponsor a full day
(8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.) tuition-based Pre-Kindergarten
program during the 2010-2011 school year. The cost for participating in this
program is $4000.00 for the year which can be paid in full by June 1st
or in ten monthly installments of $400.00 payable one month in advance with the
first payment due June 1, 2010. Our board of education is also considering sponsoring an After
School Care program which would operate from 3:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. The cost
for the After School Care program is a pre-pay of $100.00 weekly which can also
be prepaid monthly.
Important
·
Enrollment in the Pre-Kindergarten program will be limited to the first
20 registrants who have completed applications and have made their initial
tuition payment by June 1st.
·
The After School Care program will only be available to children who
are enrolled in our Pre-Kindergarten program.
Information regarding the registration
process for the 2010-2011 Pre-Kindergarten
program follows and can be found on our district website
(www.shmemorial.org). The interest survey for the After School
Care program will be taken during the time of registration. Please feel free to
contact me if you have any questions or need clarification.
