Enrollment and Fees

SV Suomikoulu Yahoo Group is the official communication channel. If you'd like to join, contact the secretary: sv_suomikoulu@yahoo.com.

Spring 2013 fees:

• Muskarilaiset (1 & 2): $25
• Others: $45

New families pay $10 enrollment fee, regardless of the number of children. Fees can be paid with credit card, cash or check to SV Suomikoulu

Fees will be collected on first and second school day.

Fees will not be returned if student drops off. If you enroll for just half a semester, you only pay half.

Absences should be reported to the teacher. The student will loose his/her slot if absent more than 3 times without notice.

You need to fill out liability form and return it to the secretary during enrollment for each child. You will only need to do this for new students, or if the information has changed.
