Dear Parents:
Its that time of year again to begin the process of re-registration and registration for the 2009-2010 school year. This year we will again have the parents come in to the school to register their child/children instead of sending the materials home through the Tuesday Envelope. Therefore, we want parent(s) and/or guardian(s) whose child/childrens last name begins with the letter A G to come in on Monday, February 9, 2009 and parent(s) and/or guardian(s) whose child/childrens last name begins with the letter H O to come in on Tuesday, February 10, 2009 and parent(s) and/or guardian(s) whose child/children’s last name begins with the letter P – Z to come in on Wednesday, February 11, 2009 anytime between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. We will be using Thursday, February 12, 2009 by appointment only (please be sure to call to set up an appointment time) as a make-up date for any family that is unable to attend on their regular scheduled date.
At the time of the registration process you are required to pay the non-refundable Registration and School Fees. There will be NO increase on fees for the 2009-2010 school year, however, there will be a 2% tuition increase for the upcoming school year.
Registration fee is $105.00 per student for Grades PreK-5; and $110.00 per student for Grades 6-8. School Fees are $370.00 per student for Grades PreK-5; $400.00 per student for Grades 6 7 and $435.00 per student for Grade 8. Both the Registration and School Fees are Non-Refundable. If your registration and school fees are paid in full at the time of registration and you are up-to-date with your current year financial obligations we will again this year deduct $100.00 from your families 2009-2010 tuition bill. As stated in the St. Michael Catholic School handbook (page 5), No Student(s) may reenroll for the next school year unless all bills and/or financial responsibilities are current and up-to-date.
As you all know our potential student body is increasing and we want to be sure your place is reserved. Failure in registering on time and meeting your financial responsibilities could result in losing your place in the class. If you have a sibling you would like to enroll into St. Michaels for this school year please be sure you register them at this time also. Please note that (Kindergarten children must be 5 years old by September 1st of the school year, Pre-K children must be 4 years old by September 1st of the school year and First grade children must be 6 years old by September 1st of the school year) in order to register. All grades follow the same school year calendar and are on a full day schedule.
Our tuition increase will be a 2% increase for Grades K-8 for the 2009-2010 year. Pre-K students will now follow the same tuition program as Grades K-8. The School Board along with the Finance Committee have once again given approval for us to continue discounting families with multiple children. (See Tuition Program under Tuition Policy on our website). Discounts are 10% for a second child, 20% for a third child and 30% for four or more children.
The following methods of payment are accepted. Personal checks will be accepted only when paying for Registration and School Fees, Full Tuition Payments and Semi-Annual Tuition Payments. All other tuition payments must be made by cash, credit card or electronic fund transfer. A $30.00 processing fee will be assessed if checks, credit card or EFT is returned for insufficient funds.
If you have any questions, please call the school office. We are look forward to seeing you at registration and having you with us in the 2009-2010 school year.
Sincerely,
Miriam Jones
Principal
Mr. Terry ODonovan
Chairperson, Finance Committee
