Residence in the school's catchment area or guardians of children in care living in the catchment also receive priority. From these groups, priority is given to adoptive children and wards; children with disabilities; residents of municipal social housing; siblings already enrolled in the school; children of teachers; children of employees covered by the municipality's specialist-attraction program; and those who have lived the longest in the catchment. If places are limited within the catchment and applicants share the same criteria and registration date, priority goes to those living closest on foot to the school; if still tied, enrollment is handled by directing the applicant to the nearest school with available vacancies offering the same programs. 3. Second-stage criteria apply to remaining vacancies for pupils living in the catchment or outside it, using the same broad categories of equality (including single parents; children with disabilities; twins and other multiples; large families; siblings; those previously enrolled or educated by the school; children of teachers; diplomatic or military families). If places remain, preference is given to those living closest on foot to the school. 4. Bilingual class admissions: additional applications for bilingual classes (5–8) are accepted until April 17 via priemimas@dobkevicius.lt. For bilingual admissions, inquiries may be directed to priemimas@dobkevicius.lt. 5. For questions about admissions, contact priemimas@dobkevicius.lt. The school applies municipal admission rules and uses the interactive catchment map to determine priority.

Tuition fees by school year (per term / per year)
- There is no tuition charged for compulsory general education at Kaunas Panemunė Progymnasium. Education at this municipal (Kaunas City) budgetary institution is provided without tuition for enrolled pupils. There are therefore no per-term or per-year tuition charges for standard daytime schooling.

Billing schedule and payment terms (paid services only)
- Meals: Parents pay for pupil meals except where pupils are eligible for statutory free meal provision (see next section). Meal selection and payment are organised on a monthly basis; parents choose the number of meals for a month and pay according to chosen days/meals. Payment deadlines and exact monthly billing procedures follow the Kaunas municipality / school administration rules.
- All-day school provision and extracurricular activities: The school provides an all-day school service; non-formal (extracurricular) activities held on school premises are delivered by contracted or independent providers and are charged as paid services. Prices, billing schedules and payment terms for those paid extracurricular programmes are set contractually between the provider and the parents (i.e., each activity provider determines the fee and payment terms).

Online orders include a small administration/shipping charge added at checkout.

Refund information (paid items)
- Paid extracurricular activities: Refunds, cancellations and exemptions for fees paid for non-formal activities are governed by the contractual terms agreed between the parent and the activity provider. The school facilitates these activities but individual providers set refund policies.
- Uniform purchases: Refunds and returns for uniform items are handled under the supplier's terms and conditions; the supplier's return and exchange policy defines eligibility, timing and any return shipping costs. Payment is completed before shipment for online orders and a payment receipt/transfer copy is required when ordering by bank transfer.
- Meals and all-day service fees: Refunds or credits for meals or all‑day service (for example, missed days) follow the school's / municipality's billing rules and the specific terms published by the school's administration or Kaunas City municipality for that service period. Parents should follow the school's payment and absence-notification procedures to determine any applicable credits or adjustments.

Fee payment options
- Bank transfer (bank payment) is used for uniform orders; parents must include the pupil's name and the school in the payment reference and usually submit proof of transfer when ordering.
- Online payment channels are available through the uniform supplier's online ordering system; the supplier's terms list permitted online payment methods and checkout charges.
- Payment methods for meals, all-day school or extracurricular provider fees depend on the specific fee (municipal billing for meals or contractual arrangements with providers) and may include bank transfer or the payment options the provider / school administration publishes for that service.

Summary statement for database entry
- No application fee; no tuition for standard daytime pupils (municipal school). Paid items that parents can expect to budget for include school uniform (unit prices apply), meals for eligible grades according to municipal/school billing, all-day school services and paid extracurricular activities (fees set by providers).
