PARENT RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT
for the 2008–2009 school year
(not applicable for those students visiting without parents)

Each family should contribute to the school in the following ways:

• Participate once a year in the monthly cleaning of the school (families of the month).
• Help in the all-school clean-up before the opening of school.
• Attend parent-teacher meetings.
• Be willing to confer about your child when necessary.
• Participate in all of the fund-raising activities of the parents

We hope that you can also participate in some of the following ways:

• Serve on a subcommittee: minicourses, manuals, fund-raising, budget and finance, etc.\
• Sponsor a new teacher: help to orient him/her and to get established here, invite them to dinner and other gatherings.
• Offer to substitute teach, tutor a student, help a teacher, or teach a minicourse...
• Help with maintenance and repairs (mechanical, carpentry, electrical, plumbing); office and administrative support.
• Help with field trips

In addition to reducing costs, the volunteer help of parents helps to promote the values of co-operation, service, and individual responsibility.

Fees and Tuition Costs for 2008–2009

Payment:
Tuition is paid in 10 payments during the first week of classes of each month from August through May. Late payments will incur a penalty of ¢500 per student. Any balance which is more than 2 months overdue will be charged 5% interest per month. If at the end of the first semester a family is not up to date with tuition payments, we cannot admit their children for the second semester.

Full-year commitment:
Registration in the school implies a commitment to pay tuition for the full year (less any scholarship granted) even if your son or daughter does not finish the school year (whether it is due to a decision of the parents to remove the student, or a decision of the school for academic or behavior reasons). Exceptions to this may be made for health reasons (with a doctor’s excuse), or because of the family moving away for reasons of employment (the parents should write a letter to the director explaining the situation). Students with previous arrangements to attend only one semester will be asked to pay the full registration fee plus one half of the year’s tuition.
