2010-2011 SCHOOL YEAR TUITION RATES
Educating children is not an inexpensive endeavor. However, with the help of the parish, various fund raising activities and generous donations  we are able to keep the tuition as low as possible.

TUITION POLICY

TUITION REFUNDS: In the event a student / students leave Nativity of Our Lord School during the school year, tuition paid in advance will be refunded on a pro rated basis.

LATE PAYMENTS: Tuition is due at the close of business on the 15th of each month commencing in August with the final payment due on May 15th. When tuition payments are not received on time, a late fee of $10.00 will be assessed at the close of business on the 25th of each month. All late fees and tuition must be paid to bring account current.

DELINQUENT STATUS: An account is deemed delinquent when any portion of the outstanding tuition including late fee has reached 60 days past due. In this case, students will not receive report cards that quarter and families will not be permitted to re–register their child/children for the following school year and/or their child/children will not be permitted to attend school the following school year until the account, representing the past due tuition and all late fees, is paid up.

TUTION ASSISTANCE: No child will be denied a Catholic education at Nativity. Any family experiencing financial difficulty may apply for tuition aid. A family requesting tuition aid can request the application from the parish business office. Any tuition assistance granted will be in effect for that school year only. If aid is necessary in the following years, additional applications and documentation must be filled out that new school year.

PARISHIONER / NON-PARISHIONER TUITION RATE: A parishioner family is defined as one whom:

• Is registered with the parish
• Regularly attends weekend liturgies as evidenced by envelope usage
• Supports the parish financially through regular offertory contributions.
  While most families who are registered at Nativity meet these criteria, some of our families are not worshipping at Nativity of Our Lord nor are they contributing to the offertory. In effect, these families are non–parishioners receiving the benefits of parishioners. Unfortunately, this trend is increasing at an alarming rate which has forced the business office to monitor envelopes. From time to time, the business office makes status and tuition rate adjustments from parishioner to non-parishioner. An environment of faith sharing families is necessary to support a faith based school.
• New school families registering in the parish will be billed at the non-parishioner rate with the understanding that their regular attendance and support of the parish will be reviewed in January after the contribution statements are reviewed and sent out. Then there will be an internal adjustment made to the parishioner rate and notification will be sent by mail.
• Attendance and contributions will also be reviewed for all families during the months of July and January. If support or lack of support is evident, families will be notified and their tuition rates and status will be adjusted accordingly.

HOME SCHOOL ASSOCIATION…..time, talent and treasure: To help support the operation of the school and to reduce the tuition costs, a volunteer program was established for fundraising requiring each family to participate in at least one ministry or fundraiser including but not limited to School Board, Home School Association, Athletic Association etc. Many opportunities exist to meet your time requirement including a time buyout whose value is set by the H.S.A.. Families not completing their time requirement will be assessed a penalty on their tuition account and the student(s) will not be allowed to return in September for the new year until it is paid.

COLLECTION AGENCY / ATTORNEY: Accounts that are exceedingly delinquent will be turned over to a collection agency or attorney at the family’s expense. Hardship cases are exempt. Each delinquency will be reviewed on a case by case basis.

MULTIPLE CHILDREN TUITION RATE: Pre-K tuition does not qualify for the multiple children discount. A separate billing with different payment terms is issued for Pre-K students.
