To help
families meet their financial obligation, tuition may be paid monthly, due on
the first of the month. The collection of tuition is handled by Smart Tuition.
On your Smart Tuition enrollment form, you can elect to pay the tuition in full
in one payment, due August 1st (there is 5% discount on tuition for
this), or pay monthly for 10 months (August-May). You may also elect to mail in
your payment to Smart Tuition, or have them automatically debit your account.
Check payments are considered delinquent if not received in their office by the
tenth of the month. In such cases, $35.00 late charge will be assessed to all
accounts which are delinquent beyond the tenth of the month. A $25.00 fee will
be applied to your account for any failed auto-debit and failed check payments.
Tuition and
fees do not cover the costs of educating the students of St. Catherine Labouré
School. Various fundraising activities, sponsored by the school and parish,
support operational expenses outside of salaries. Therefore, families are
expected to support the two school fundraisers as well as the SCRIP program.
Parochial school education is an available option to parents; it is not,
however, the only vehicle for educating one’s child in the faith as there are
good Parish School of Religion programs for this purpose as well. Every office,
business and home is dependent on cash flow. St. Catherine Labouré School must
meet operational expenses and payroll on
a monthly basis. When committing to Catholic education, parents must also
commit to prioritizing financial
obligations, for prompt tuition payments are essential in order to operate the school.
In order for
eighth grade students to participate in any/all graduation activities, all
tuition and fees must be paid for the school year by June 1st of the
eighth grade year. Payment of graduation fees assessed by parent agreement does
not supersede payment of tuition and fees.
In order for any student to participate in any/all extracurricular activities (including sports!), the payment of all tuition and fees must be current.
Students will not be placed in a classroom at the beginning of the next school year if there are outstanding balances in tuition, daycare, fundraiser obligations,scrip or emergency lunches from the previous year.
