Financial Aid
Tuition rates at St. Catherine School reflect a sincere effort to stay
affordable while providing the resources to adequately compensate our
skilled and knowledgeable teaching staff. The tuition-setting process
involves members of the school budget committee, the principal, the pastoral
life director, school commission, parish finance council, and the pastoral
council.
In order to better fulfill our mission as a Catholic School, and to
enable parents who desire Catholic schooling for their children to be able
to afford that schooling, we would also like to improve access and
utilization of our tuition assistance fund. If you feel that you may have
difficulty meeting monthly tuition payments next year, we would like to
encourage you to apply for tuition assistance. Applications are now
available in the school office. Because they may require some time to
assemble the necessary documentation, please pick up an application in the
office now. Return the forms to the school office before February 11, 2008.
New Students
New students may be screened by our Learning Specialist to assess learning
needs. Registration papers of new students will include copies of birth
certificates and any baptismal records, if applicable.
Commitment
Because St. Catherine School relies heavily on parent volunteers and
supplemental income to keep tuition affordable, each K-8 family must commit
to 45 hours of volunteer work for the school and/or parish. Five of these hours
must be completed in connection with the school auction. In addition, each
family contributes a $150 item to the school auction, participates in the
school Annual Fund Drive and must purchase $750 in Scrip. Preschool
families are encouraged to become active in the school and are required to
purchase $250 worth of scrip and contribute a $100 item to the school
auction. Many volunteer opportunities exist and help is welcome. Volunteer
opportunities help build a sense of community at St. Catherine School and we
appreciate your participation.
