TUITION ASSISTANCE

Our parish and school will attempt to help those families who cannot afford to pay the required tuition and fees. Families in need of assistance must submit an application in May for funding for the upcoming year. Applications are reviewed in strict confidence. Notification is sent home in writing during the month of June. The Diocese also has a tuition assistance program called F.A.C.E. If you wish information please contact the principal. If an emergency appears during the school year please contact the principal as soon as possible.

TUITION COLLECTION POLICY

A. Tuition not paid by the fourteenth (14th) of the month: Notices will be sent out to everyone who is delinquent.

B. If person does not respond to first notice, a second notice will be sent by the first of the following month.

C. If no response is received by the fifteenth of the next month, a third notice will go out, or a phone call from the principal. This notice will refer to the course of action as set by the school board. ("Since there has been no response to the two previous letters regarding late tuition, please be advised that your child/ren will not be allowed to attend school until tuition has been paid -- beginning at the nearest quarter break.")
