I understand that I am committing to enroll my child for the 10-month academic year program. If I leave before the end of the program chosen or If I cancel this commitment before the school year starts, I will forfeit the enrollment deposit.

I also understand that Cornerstone Montessori may discontinue my child’s enrollment at anytime it determines that my child is not benefiting from the program or that my child’s behavior is detrimental to the well-being of the other students. My child’s enrollment may be discontinued if I fail to follow the school’s policies. The enrollment deposit is not refundable or transferable under these circumstances.

I will be responsible for my child and my family in following the school’s policies as described in the Parent’s Policy Packet. Parent participation is an effective way to foster community spirit in our school. Accordingly, each family agrees to participate in the programs and events created for this purpose.
