SVITLYCHKA REGISTRATION POLICY FOR 2019-20

The Taras Shevchenko School of Ukrainian Studies in Greater Washington (Ukrainian School) is proud of the success of its Svitlychka, a pre-school program for children ages 3 and 4. 
The Svitlychka program was established over 50 years ago by the 78th Chapter of the Soyuz Ukrainok which continues to provide guidance in its administration and curriculum. Ukrainian School has established the following policy to ensure the program’s continued high-quality and safe environment for children.
  1. The maximum Svitlychka enrollment is established at 16 students.
  2. A child must be at least 3 years old at the start of the school year and fully potty-trained (no pull-ups) before being considered for admission to Svitlychka.  Mid-year admission upon age-attainment will be at the discretion of the Teacher and school administrators based on space availability.
  3. Svitlychka is designed for children who understand Ukrainian. Ukrainian is the predominant language of instruction in Svitlychka and supports the language instruction that occurs in the child’s home.
  4. Families with students currently enrolled in Svitlychka will be given the opportunity to make a $100 non-refundable per-student Deposit prior to “open registration” to secure the student’s enrollment in the next school year.

Current families will receive an email by the end of May giving them the opportunity of reserving a spot for their child/children in the following year’s Svitlychka class. Parents will need to respond affirmatively by email and pay the $100 non-refundable Deposit by June 15th.

Payment may be made by check and either mailed to the Treasurer, given to any Board Member, or given to the Svitlychka teacher. Or, Payment may be made via PayPal as a “donation” with a memo/note stating “Svitlychka Deposit for next school year” (you may use our "Donate" button on the Registration page in the Partial Payment section) Parents who respond affirmatively and pay the Deposit will receive a confirming email.

After registration for the next school year opens up, affirmatively-responding parents need to formally register their child/children. The $100 per-student Deposit will be applied to the tuition. If an affirmatively-responding parent does NOT register their child/children by August 31st, they will forfeit their Deposit and their reserved spot will be released to other students

Admission priorities will be granted as follows
  1. A child who was enrolled in Svitlychka the previous school year. 
  2. A child whose family had a student enrolled in Ukrainian School throughout the past school year. 
  3. A child whose family has a student enrolled in Ukrainian School.
  4. A child who will enter Kindergarten in their weekly school in the year immediately following the current school year. 
  5. A child who will enter Kindergarten in their weekly school two (2) years following the current school year.​
  6. Earliest time of registration and receipt of payment through PayPal.
