Parent & Student Handbook
Dear Parents, Students, Guardians, and Friends of St. Joseph Catholic School:
Welcome to St. Joseph Catholic School. This handbook has been prepared to help you become better acquainted with our school. It contains general information about the school, the school programs, student services, and the parent organization. It also contains policies that are necessary to help us work together to achieve the best education for our students.
Your cooperation in reviewing and becoming familiar with the policies of the school and in conscientiously following the policies outlined in the following pages, will do much to contribute to a happy and productive learning atmosphere for our students.
Although policy handbooks sometimes seem as though they are restrictive and callous, it is important to remember that the number one goal we all have is for our community to gain the blessings of Heaven and to know and accept Christ and his love. With that in mind, we promise to do our best to follow and apply the policies and procedures in this handbook with a spirit of love and respect.
Sincerely,
The Staff of St. Joseph Catholic School
Tuition Payment Policy
The full Financial Policy can be found in Part 5 of our Parent & Student Handbook.
It is important that each family pays tuition consistently and promptly. Tuition payments are paid through FACTS.
If for some reason, a tuition payment is going to be late or if there are financial difficulties, the family needs to communicate with the Principal or the Registrar. If a family does not meet its financial obligations, the following steps will be taken to ensure payment:
At the end of 30 days, if an account is delinquent in payments, a conference may be requested by the principal to negotiate a payment plan.
At the end of 60 days from the end of the first month tuition payments were not made in accordance with the plan, the parents may be asked to enroll their student(s) elsewhere.
A student may not re-register at St. Joseph School unless tuition payments are current according to the designated payment plan. If a student leaves the school with unpaid tuition, the family will be notified that if regular payments are not made beginning the month after the student leaves, this information will be sent to collections
