Tuition Collection

The timely collection of the Regional School tuition is imperative for two reasons:

To meet the operating expenses To avoid time-consuming collection efforts

Tuition Policy

In order to enter school in September, all prior year’s tuition must be paid in full.

Annual tuition is payable in 10 equal payments, beginning July 1st and ending April 1st.

Tuition payments are to be made on the first day of the month, regardless of who is responsible for the tuition or any portion of the tuition.

Tuition Policy

In order for a student to enter school in September, the first three monthly installments must be paid.

In order for a student to return to school in January, the tuition account must be current.

In order for a student to return to school on May 1st, the tuition must be paid in full.

Tuition Policy

Consideration may be afforded by a pastor to families with unforeseen financial hardship.

In order to participate in an eighth grade class trip, tuition must be paid in full.

It is mandatory that the School parents actively support the School’s fundraising activities and thereby fulfill their family’s annual $300 fundraising responsibility by May 1st.

Regional School Families’Financial Support for their Parish

Similar to all parishioners, Regional School families are expected to be present and participating at their parish’s weekend liturgy, and they are expected to be financially supporting the mission of the Church.

Each Parish Community has their own particular policy regarding participation.

Parishes’ Contributions for their School Families

Each of the four sponsoring Parish Communities have committed themselves to providing $125,000 per year toward the Catholic school education of their parish children.

With this substantial financial commitment comes the expectation that all parish children and their parents are actively worshiping within their own parish community and financially supporting their parish community.

Regional School Families’Participation

There is a spiritual responsibility to bring the children to Mass each and every week.

There is a responsibility of all Regional School parents to financially support the mission of the Church.

Tuition Rate Schedules

For parishioners of the four sponsoring parishes, there are two Tuition Rate Schedules:

Participating families Non-participating families.

Tuition Rate Schedules

For the current school year, as a sign of goodwill, the four pastors granted all families a grace period regarding their tuition rates, that is, all families were considered as participating and were afforded the Participating Family Tuition Rate Schedule.

Tuition Rate Schedules

Sadly and regrettably, many families chose not to participate at Mass within their local Parish Community and not to adequately support their Parish financially.

For 2011-2012, these families will be charged a higher tuition rate.

Participating Families Discounted Tuition Rate Schedule

In order to qualify for the Participating Family Rates, that is, the discounted Tuition Rate Schedule, a family must meet their own Parish Community’s requirements.

Parishioners not meeting their Parish’s requirements, will be designated as a non-participating family, and will be charged a higher tuition rate.

Non-Participating Families Tuition Rate Schedule

A non-participating family will not be afforded the Discounted Tuition Rate Schedule, and therefore will be charged an additional $700 per family.

In future years, this additional charge will be increasing substantially.
