First Star tuition management program
You have the option
of paying tuition in one lump sum on or before
August 19, 2011, or you may enroll in the First Star
program which allows you to pay tuition
in ten monthly payments (August-May). If you enroll in
the program your tuition payment can be automatically
deducted electronically from your bank account on either
the 5th or 20th of the month. There is a $12 management
fee (waived if you have a First Star Checking account).
If you decide not to use the First Star program we
offer a $50 discount for all families that pay their
tuition on or before August 19. This payment can be made
directly to the Parish Center office.
Home and
School Association Fundraising Fee
The HSA
fee is $100 per family. This fee is due by Sept. 30.
After that date the fee becomes $125 per family. A
student will not be issued report cards until the fee is
paid.
The
projected cost per student for the 2011-2012 school year is $4087.
From this figure it is seen that every student receives
a "grant" of at least $1562 from the parish and the
Home & School Association
because they are the sources of the additional funding
that subsidizes the tuition deficit. The
Home and School Association commitment to the budget
is $85,000. This funding by the Association saves each
family approximately $450 that would have been added
to tuition. It is obvious what a tremendous financial
vehicle our Dollars for Scholars program is. Not
only does it save each family from greater tuition
increases, it also gives each family the opportunity to
earn tuition credits.
In order to have every family share this financial
responsibility our fundraising quota is continuing.
Each family is responsible for purchasing at least $1500
in gift certificates. Purchases made from June 16, 2011,
through June 15, 2012, will count towards your quota.
You may choose a "buy-out" option by paying $350 by
September 30, 2011. If you do not meet this deadline,
the "buy-out" price will increase by $50 a month until
reaching a cap of $550. Remember, to earn tuition
credit you must earn service points. This is an optional
part of our program but could be a tremendous value for
your family. It is mandatory that each family either
purchase at least $1500 in certificates or do the
"buy-out". Every family has a vested interest in this
program because it provides tuition relief on many
different levels.
The Home
and School Association fee will $125 per family. The fee
must be paid in full by September 30. If this deadline
is not met then the fee becomes $150 and
your child will not be issued report cards until the fee
is paid. Every family needs to share in the
responsibility for making this possible and the fee is
one of the financial vehicles that runs the program.
Thank you
in advance for fulfilling your financial
responsibilities to our school. Through your cooperation
with tuition and the fundraising efforts of the Home
&School Association our financial foundation remains
solid.
