2012-2013 Registration Information

Tuition Information

Tuition is collected on the 15th day of every month through SmartTuition, which is a tuition collection agency that we are using this year. There will be a $43 fee, per family, debited to your account. If an automatic payment is attempted, but fails, due to insufficient funds a $20 fee will be assessed. If a successful payment is not resolved (within number of grace period days) an additional follow-up fee will be debited to your account. When, and if, the family is 2 months in arrears, the student(s) must leave school and will not be allowed to return until the balance of the tuition for the remainder of the year is paid in full.

If a student withdraws, any prepaid tuition will be refunded for the unused months upon written request. If a student attends 3 days of a month, tuition will be due for the entire month. Request for a tuition refund will not be considered until a records request has been received from another school. No refunds for prepaid tuition will be given to families of students who are expelled from Sacred Heart School.

If you ever have any questions or concerns about your account feel free to contact SmartTuition at 1-888-868-8828 or email accounts@smarttuition.com.

After-School Care Program

After-school care is available for regular or occasional use under the supervision of a qualified provider for students in grades Pre-K through 8th. It begins at 2:45 PM and closes at 5:30 PM. Students may bring a snack and are encouraged to do homework before playing.

A late fee of $1.00 per minute (by the school clock) will be due at the time of pick-up for any student still in after-school care after 5:30 PM. A parent, guardian, or other pre-approved individual must sign out every student who leaves after-school care.

The charge for after-school care is $6.00 per child, per day, regardless of the amount of time a student is in the program. Since the after-school care program must be financially self-sufficient in order to continue operating, it is important that all fees be paid DAILY. Parents who send their students to after-school care every day (or almost every day) may request approval to defer their payment until Friday of each week. No invoices will be distributed and no extensions will be provided. Payment must be made DAILY or WEEKLY. If a family knows they will not be at after-school care on Friday, they must make their payment on Thursday.

At the beginning of each week, any family who owes fees to the after-school care program from the previous week may NOT send students to after-school care. The family must make arrangements for their students to be picked up at dismissal.

A late pick-up fee of $1.00 per minute (by the school clock) will be due for any students picked up after 5:30 PM. That late pick-up fee is due at the time the students are picked up.

Official grades will not be released to families who owe after-school care fees or late pick-up fees.

Returned Checks

There will be a $25 service fee for all returned checks. If a family has three returned checks, they will be placed on a cash-only basis with the school for payment of all fees, materials, and other non-tuition charges. In addition to actual cash, certified checks or money orders may be used.
