Registration

Please note, there is a $100.00 non-refundable registration fee payable to secure a spot at the time of registration (Check, money order, or payment through MySchoolBucks is accepted. No cash).

Tuition is collected bi-monthly on the 1st and 16th. All district employees are required to sign up for payroll deduction each year. There are two options of payroll deduction (19 or 24 payments) to cover the cost of tuition. Forms are included in back-to-school packets.

Tuition

Parents of students old enough to receive school lunches may opt out of the food program and their tuition will be reduced by $5 per day. This must be done on a yearly basis and does not include infants.

All centers are open on teacher in-service days in August.  Breakfast and lunch will be provided on August in-service days for students who pay for meals as part of their tuition.  If meals are not paid for in tuition, meals must be brought from home.

Breakfast and lunch will not be available on campus staff development or teacher work days during the school year (October, January, February(Flex), May) as CNS staff will be in training. Children who regularly eat the school meal will need to bring a meal from home on these two days

Tuition is based on the age of the child, as of September 1, and remains the same the entire year.

Participation in the childcare program is a yearly commitment. Full tuition is due even if a child is absent due to holidays, illnesses, vacations, emergency closures, or ordered closure of a classroom or center.

Full tuition is also due to hold your child’s spot while expecting.
