​Families will be asked to give reasons for enrolling students in St. Joseph the Worker School and to commit to certain parental obligations as described below. 

  • ​Because tuition, fees, and fundraising are not sufficient to cover the operational costs of the school, many extra programs are staffed by volunteers. Therefore, parents commit to fulfilling their Service Hour and Fundraising obligations to meet and offset the needs of the school.

      • No more than half of these hours may be met through service to the Parish.

    • Each family is required to contribute fundraising based on the number of students in the family enrolled at St. Joseph the Worker School. 
      • Families with one student contribute $400 fundraising profits per year.
