TUITION AND FEES
All tuition payments are paid through SMART Tuition
Management, for an annual fee of $38 (part of registration fee).
Tuition may be paid in ten payments, or at other intervals arranged
with Smart. Credit card and automated checking payment plans are
available. Monthly tuition must be paid by the 15th of each month.
.
GRADES K - 8: For those families registered
at and supporting (proof of Sunday envelopes) Our Lady of the Assumption
Parish, tuition for one child is $330.00 per month (10 mos.); $590.00
for two children; and $820.00 per month for three or more children.
For non-parish families, the tuition for one child is $390.00 per
month (10 mos.); $700.00 for two children; and $973.00 per month
for three or more. The Student Fee of $275.00 per child (subject
to change) per year is applied to the use of books, insurance,
testing and classroom support fee. This fee is non-refundable.
NOTE: Tuition rates are based on registered
and non-registered families for O.L.A. Parish. O.L.A. parish
families actively participate in the parish by attendance and
parish envelope offerings of $520 minimum annually (checked each
fiscal year). The support given the church provides funds for
the parish to subsidize the school. Catholic parents sending
children to a Catholic school are expected to be practicing Catholics
with regular church attendance and financial support of the parish.
DELINQUENT TUITION POLICY
Tuition is considered delinquent when a family has not met their
monthly financial obligation for two months or longer. In the
case of extenuating circumstances,
IT IS ALWAYS the responsibility of the parent to contact the school office
and speak with the principal. The school is unable to extend long term
credit. Any family whose account is negligent at the conclusion
of each trimester
must bring their account up to date before the children return to school.
This also applies to Preschool Tuition, EDC fees, and Stay & Play.
See Page 27 for the EDC Delinquent Payment Policy.
FUNDRAISING RESPONSIBILITY
Since tuition does not cover the entire cost of education, every
family is responsible to support all fundraising activities at
OLA School. It is expected that families participate actively in
the sales promotions, Fall Festival, Golf Tournament, Dinner Auction,
and financially support other fundraising functions such as SCRIP,
the magazine/gift drive, etc. Each family should be responsible
for bringing in or helping to raise approximately $350 over and
above tuition payments.
SCRIP is available at school at
all times and through special orders. SCRIP are gift certificates
which parents purchase ( Long’s, Barnes & Noble, restaurants,
J.C. Penney’s, Macy’s, See’s and a variety of others).
Parents receive dollar for dollar value and the SCRIP can be used
for gifts or for the family’s own purchases, especially in
the case of the grocery stores. SCRIP is an easy and beneficial way
to support the school since OLA receives 5% or more of every dollar
families spend on SCRIP. Order forms are sent home periodically in
the family envelope. Families who shop at Von’s can register
in the eSCRIP program, thereby benefitting OLA School every time
they swipe their Von’s card
TUITION ASSISTANCE
PROGRAM
A limited amount of tuition assistance is available through the
Archdiocese and through the school.The tuition assistance program
forms from the Archdiocese are available in January of each year
in the school office. You must request the forms from the office.
Any family who receives tuition assistance is still required to
abide by all other financial policies. Parish tuition assistance
is available to active OLA parishioners when necessary. No full
scholarships are available.
