  Parish Support and Sunday Envelopes

  It is expected that all families will regularly attend Sunday Mass and contribute to the best of their ability to the parish.  Lack of school family support of the parish will directly impact tuition.  School parents are expected to support the Parish through contributions and stewardship.  Children learn about stewardship, Christian service and parish support from their parents.  We appreciate your support.

  
  

  Payment Arrangements

  You are given a choice in the spring as to how you will fulfill your tuition obligation.  You may choose one of these payment plans:

  • Annually - Full amount due by Aug. 15 (3% discount given for this option)

  • Quarterly payments - Tuition paid in four equal payments
  • Monthly - Tuition paid 12 equal payments

  Fundraising can be paid through Jogathon, Market Day, Scrip Program or Dinner Dance Raffle.  Watch for information on these events.

  
  

  Delinquent Accounts

  All tuition and fees must be kept current.  Your child's continued enrollment/attendance is contingent upon keeping your account current.  All accounts are monitored monthly.  Students may be excluded from classes if accounts are seriously delinquent.  If a hardship should occur, please contact Mrs. Collins as soon as possible.  We will try to work with you as best we can.  A late fee of $10.00 may be assessed for tuition collected after the 15th of the month.  A $25.00 fee will be assessed  on all NSF check.  Registration for the next school year will not be processed until all accounts are current.  Final payments for the school year must be received by May 15th or your child/children's place may be given to a child on the wait list.
