Returned Check Fee

There is a charge on all returned checks. A returned check constitutes grounds for payment in cash or by cashier's check. This applies to all checks made out to the school, not just tuition.

Textbook Replacement Fee

Lost, defaced or misplaced textbooks, workbooks or paperbacks must be purchased by the student/parent. Replacement costs are assessed by the front office.

Additional Records Fee

One free copy of the permanent record, health, special education or psychological test records is provided at no charge. Additional requests for any of these records are charged a nominal fee.

Refunds

Registration fees are non-refundable. However, if a student is not accepted and/or a space is not available the $200.00 deposit is refunded. Refunds on tuition are not made after September 1. Unused lunch and drink cards are refundable.

Mandatory Fundraiser

The school conducts two mandatory fundraisers every year. Every family contributes $150.00 (30 tickets) for the Fall Raffle and $100 (tickets) for the Spring Raffle. Family commitments not fulfilled by the deadline will be billed for the difference and a late charge will be applied. Families are encouraged to sell additional tickets to support the school.

Family Service Hours

Each family is required to perform 10 total hours of service to the school community. This service can be performed at a variety of functons throughout the school year. Service hours not completed by the deadline will be billed to the family account at $50.00 per hour. Further details are available in the service hour program guidelines.
