TUITION AND FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS

Negotiated tuition is not a part of St. Pius X School policy. The amount of the tuition is determined by the actual cost of educating each individual pupil. The amount is determined each year by the cost of education.

At registration time, there will be a registration fee for each student. This registration fee will be non-refundable. The first monthly payment is considered a commitment fee and is non-refundable. Non-payment of monies owed St. Pius X School, i.e. tuition, library fines, Extended Day, fundraising, etc., will jeopardize re-registration.

No child will be allowed admittance into the school unless the previous year's tuition bill is paid in full – even if a registration fee has been paid. Likewise, all tuition for the new school year must be current before students begin classes each year.

Tuition accounts must be current for eighth graders to attend their yearly retreat and graduation ceremony. Accounts must be current for all students to attend the end of the year field days.

A Catholic and a Non-Catholic/Non Affiliated tuition rate is assessed. Those families affiliated with a Catholic parish may receive subsidy from their parish (Inter-Parish School Assistance) according to the assessment fixed by the Archdiocesan School Office, and therefore, be eligible for the Catholic tuition rate. This subsidy becomes part of the school's operating budget as a sign of joint commitment to Catholic education as offered through the Archdiocesan school system. (Archdiocesan Policy No. 5100)

All monthly payments will be made to SMART Tuition Program. A non-refundable yearly enrollment fee will be due for those paying monthly. Payments that are not made to them as scheduled will be considered past due, and late fees will be assessed. IN ADDITION, follow-up service fees will also be assessed by SMART tuition. TUITION MUST BE PAID ON A MONTHLY BASIS TO CONTINUE ENROLLMENT AT ST. PIUS X SCHOOL

Students withdrawing at any time during a month will be charged for a full month of tuition.

Delinquent accounts will be sent to our collection agency, and full responsibility for these costs will be incurred by the parent.

A $25 fee will be assessed for all returned checks to the school
