Prorated Fees

What is the best way to translate the word "prorate"? This translation is for parents with a 1-5 grade education, and I want to make it as easy to understand as possible.

The word is used in the following context:
Tuition will not be prorated at any time throughout the school year.


My attempt is:

Las cuotas no se prorratearán en cualquier momento durante el año escolar.


Your input would be greatly appreciated

@lblanco: Your sentence was mostly correct:

Para mí debiera ser:

La tuición no se prorrateará en ningún momento durante el año escolar.

Fee= cuota

Tuition = tuición

Correcto. Se me chispteó.

La tuición de los niños generalmente la tienen los padres...

¿Patria potestad?

Parece mentira que hablemos el mismo idioma.

@Hernán: pero lblanco trabaja en una escuela, así que es más probable que se refiera a los costos de la colegiatura, o sea, las cuotas, y no a la custodia sobre los hijos, ¿no?

De cualquier manera, ¿cómo prorrateas los derechos de los padres sobre los hijos a lo largo de un año escolar?
