REGISTRATION POLICY

Registration for currently enrolled students is conducted annually in February / March.  Each family receives a form on which the parents are asked to fill in the necessary information indicating if their child is returning to St. Patrick School.

A non-refundable registration fee is due for each child at the time of registration.  If the registration fee is not paid, this will result in the removal of the child's name from the registration list for the following year.

If a student withdraws from school, the cumulative records are forwarded to the receiving school.  However, if fees and/or tuition are in arrears, grades or transcripts may be withheld until such amount is paid in full.

TUITION POLICY

The policy adopted by the St. Patrick School Committee shall be as follows:

1.  All tuition costs and minimum parish contribution must be paid in full before any student can be registered for the next school year. Tuition and fees may be paid by cash, check or charge, in the school office.

2.  In cases of genuine hardship, a family may make a written request to the principal for a different payment schedule.  The reason for the request must be stated in the letter.

3. The time of the tuition payments will be stated each year in the Tuition and Fees Schedule.         

4.  If the tuition payment schedule is not met, we may ask that you not continue to send your child or children to St. Patrick School until the payment is made.

5.  All tuition is to be paid by the 1^st of each month.  The $300 development fee is due by August 1^st.  No student(s) will be able to start school on the first day of school if the family’s tuition and development fee are not up to date.  Prompt payment of tuition is expected in order for the school to meet its financial obligations. 

6. Report cards will not be distributed to any student(s) whose family falls behind on their tuition payments.  All tuition must be paid in full by the first day of the second semester of school.  Failure to do so will result in students not being able to begin the 2^nd semester at St. Patrick School.

7. Families withdrawing students prior to the first day of school shall be refunded the entire amount of tuition paid. Registration monies and Development Fee are non-refundable.  Students withdrawing on/after the first day of school will be assessed a full quarter tuition for each quarter they have entered.  No refund will be made for any student who withdraws from the school after the beginning of the fourth quarter of any school year.

VISITORS

All visitors entering the building must report to the office.  Parents should refrain from visiting with any of the teachers during school hours.

Protecting All God’s Children

Any parent that would like to assist in the classroom, attend field trips, do lunch duty, etc. at St. Patrick School must have a criminal background check and be trained/certified in the Protecting All God’s Children program offered through the Archdiocese of Detroit.  We have had overwhelming support from both our parish members and school parents with regard to this program.
