Full day kindergarten
Applications for full-day kindergarten will be available at all
elementary schools. Since the state only funds kindergarten for
half a day, tuition is charged for the remainder of the school
day in order to cover costs. A deposit of $25 must be paid at
the time of registration, but will be refunded if there are not
enough students to fill a class. Tuition for next school year
will be $3,125. A limited number of scholarships will be
available for qualifying families.
If you have
questions about kindergarten registration, please contact Jo
Cranor at 360-394-2610, or email JCranor@nkschools.org.
