Basics of the Kumon Program
• Kumon worksheets must be completed, timed, graded and corrected daily.
• Kumon aims for sustainable student success, we are not a “quick fix.”
• We provide ample practice through repetition, with a focus on mastery.
• Kumon students are expected to attend the center on all scheduled days.
Center Attendance
• Students attend Kumon classes twice a week for approximately 25 - 30 minute sessions per subject. Students may finish early or may need extra time. Tuition is charged for the individualized instruction and materials received, not minutes or hours spent in the center. You will receive worksheets for every day, but there are no refunds for missed classes or work.
• Center attendance is important for instructor observation of students to determine “just right level” and to determine a student’s lesson plan. Students are expected to work just as independently at the center as they will at home.
• The center is designed to provide the ideal study environment for students to complete assignments. Student behavior should adhere to keeping this ideal study environment. Students must not disrupt other students.
• Students should arrive at the center at their schedule appointment time. Students arriving outside of their scheduled appointment time will have to wait for an available opening or pick up work.
• If you know that a class will be missed, please call, text, or e-mail the center prior to the end of class at 7PM to request to pick up the work.
• Please be available to pick up your child when he/she finishes their classwork and leaves the classroom. There will be no one on duty to supervise them after they leave the classroom.
Center Closings
• Kumon of Katy Cinco Ranch East is open throughout the year, with the exception of the dates on the closure/holiday schedule, but your child will still receive work for that time period. (You will receive advance notice of closures via flyers sent home and signs posted in the waiting area)
• Kumon of Katy Cinco Ranch East will also be closed if Katy ISD closes due to inclement weather, or other emergencies.
Make-up Classes
• If your child misses a class due to center closure/holiday, illness, or schedule conflict you may request a make-up class within 3 weeks of the absence.
• Make-up classes can be scheduled on the same class day at a different time or on another class day. They may also be scheduled in advance to accomodate schedule conflicts.
Books
• The Kumon Recommended Reading List (RRL) is a list of books intended to help Kumon students find books that they will enjoy reading, and to encourage them to read books from a wide range of genres and styles. Students who are unable to return a book they have borrowed are asked to find a replacement copy. Kumon cannot accept moderately/heavily marked up replacements.
Vacation
• Kumon works best when study is year round. While we strongly discourage leaves of absence from the program, Kumon allows for one calendar month of absence without penalty. Vacation must be for an entire calendar month.
• If you wish to take a one month vacation from Kumon, we require a written notice by the 7th of the month preceding the month you wish to take a break. (ex. If you want to discontinue for April, you must submit your notice by the 7th of March).
Communicating with Center Staff
• You are always welcome to call, text, or e-mail during non-class hours. The instructor needs to focus on the students and cannot address parent questions during class time.
• You may request to be contacted via phone call or email after class or you may schedule a conference with the front desk assistant.
Tuition
• Tuition shall be paid by an automatic EFT charge of your checking account. Tuition is processed on the 1st of the month.
• Tuition is $180 for one subject and $350 for two subjects per month. There is a one-time registration fee of $80 and materials fee of $30 per student.
• If you wish to discontinue your child’s Kumon study, we require a written notice by the 7th of the month preceding the month you wish to discontinue (ex. If you want to discontinue for April, you must submit your notice by the 7th of March).
• If you wish to switch your child to the other subject within the first 12 months of study, a $80 registration fee will be charged.
