All tuition payments are to be completed by May 15, 2001.

A charge of $25.00 per month will be assessed for any and all payments which remain unpaid after the May 15th deadline.

Your check in payment of tuition is to be made payable to St. John School. A fee of $20.00 will be assessed for returned checks.

The first, second, and third report card will be given to those parents whose tuition is paid for the respective quarters and who have given evidence of being contributing members. The fourth report card will be given to those parents whose tuition, School Service/Financial Obligations, and all other outstanding fees are paid in full, and have given evidence of being contributing members of the parish.

No postdated checks will be accepted and checks must wait one week to clear the bank.

Preliminary records of eighth graders will not be forwarded to Catholic high schools in January unless you are in compliance with the tuition policy. Eighth Grade diplomas will be given to those who are in compliance with our policies as stated above.

Payments for tuition in Junior Kindergarten and Pre-Kindergarten 3 year olds are to be made according to the payment schedule.

Parish families of students in Grade Kindergarten through Grade Eight who are not able to meet the tuition requirements should first apply for Archdiocesan Tuition Assistance. After a determination is made for that request and if more assistance is needed, then the family applies through the school's financial aid program.

SCHOOL SERVICE HOURS

Research has shown that good schools encourage and have the involvement of dedicated parents. There are so many needed activities that not only enhance a school, but are also vital to the school's operation. At St. John the Evangelist, we are proud of our parental involvement, which has been given over the years in a true Christian spirit. We continue to encourage that spirit. One area in which we really need to have everyone involved is at our lunch and playground times. To this end, we need the following:

For families with children in Grades 1-8, this service must include eight sessions of lunch/playground duty. Single-parent families are required to fulfill four lunch duty hours. Parents who are unable to satisfy the lunch/playground duty requirement must pay $80.00, or $40.00 if a single parent, at the beginning of the school year to cover the cost of a paid substitute. Unfulfilled lunch duty hours will be billed at a rate of $10.00 per hour. Paid substitutes, including teachers, will then be paid $6.00 per lunch period. We ask that these eight or four sessions be spread over the year if at all possible.

In order to meet the Home School Association's annual fundraising goal, we ask each family to participate in whichever fundraising activity they choose in order to contribute a minimum of $225.00 per year. These fundraising activities will be outlined at the first Home School Association Meeting of the year. In lieu of participating in these activities, we ask a donation of $225.00 per family.

MILK PROGRAM

St. John the Evangelist School participates in the Federal Milk Program. We ask that those children who want milk order it for the year. Orders and payments will take place at the beginning of the school year.
