March 5th. The March deposit, along with the completed registration information, guarantees a place in all-day
kindergarten class. This is the only way to guarantee a place in all-day kindergarten. The $200.00 deposit is deducted

If tuition payment is not made on time, your child will be placed in a half-day kindergarten classroom for the remainder
of the school year. Tuition payments are due prior to the first and second semester. This will allow the change of
classes to be made at a natural learning time.
9. If my child goes to half-day kindergarten, will she/he be behind when starting first grade?
We believe that extended learning time in a consistent environment is beneficial and want to provide that opportunity
at Evamere for our families. Both all-day and half-day classes will cover the curriculum and the requirements of
kindergarten. The all-day kindergarten class provides more time for development of these requirements. The teachers
at Evamere have extensive knowledge of how children learn. No matter the kindergarten experience, our teachers will
be able meet the needs of your child.
10. What if I do not register my child until August?
If you are a current Hudson resident, we encourage you to register your child at the designated registration times on
March 4th and 5th. The earlier a family registers their child, the more likely there is a guarantee of a spot. We will
continue to accept all-day registration and deposits; enrollment is monitored constantly and how many sections of allday kindergarten is linked directly to numbers and interest. The $200.00 deposit is due immediately at the time of
registration. The first tuition payment is due August 5, 2015, soon after you register your student.
11. My child is in all day kindergarten and as the year progresses we realize it is not a good match. Will I
have a refund?
Tuition will be prorated by quarter. So, if you decide at the end of September that all-day kindergarten is not a match,
then you will be refunded the second nine week grading period. The student will be placed in the a.m. or p.m. based on
District guidelines.
12. My child begins the year in half-day kindergarten and we would like them to move to all-day programming.
What is the process for making this change?
Our kindergarten classes have been “full” or very close to our capacity. There may not be an open spot if you are
interested in moving your child after the school year begins. However, if there is space in the all-day classes, the
move would need to be made by the end of the first grading period.
13. My family qualifies for free/reduced lunch. How do I proceed registering my child for all-day
kindergarten?
Please contact Kim Ciborek, Business Office at 330-653-1203 to make sure the free/reduced lunch paperwork is up to
date. You may also contact Doreen Osmun, Assistant Superintendent, at 330-653-1217 for assistance.
14. How will my child be placed in first grade if they do not attend all-day kindergarten?
The principal is responsible for placing students in heterogeneous classrooms. Student reading and math data are
analyzed, as well as, learning styles and personalities, to create the best placement for our children. No matter their
kindergarten experiences, students will be placed in all first grade classes.
15. I would like to request a certain teacher. What is the procedure?
Parent requests for a certain teacher are not part of the placement process. Your child will be placed in a classroom
according to kindergarten screening and registration information.
