Families who desire a longer day for their kindergarten students may pursue two options:

1. Full Day Kindergarten

The Full Day Kindergarten program is tuition-based and is in session for 6.5 hours during regular school hours from 9:10 a.m. to 3:25 p.m. An enrichment curriculum is taught by a licensed teacher. Full Day K is not available at every school, but is offered where there is sufficient parent demand. Students may enroll in Full Day K at a district school outside their attendance area.

Tuition pays for the portion of the school day that is not funded by the state. Tuition for the full day session is $3275 for the 2011-12 school year and is billed at $350 per month for 9 months. A non-refundable deposit of $125, submitted with the contract, is applied to the program tuition. (Deposit will be refunded if student is not selected for placement through lottery or wait list process.)

Extended Kindergarten Day is a fee-based program offered through the district's Lake Oswego Extended Day program, and is available at all district elementary schools.
