Financial Responsibilities

Medical and Dental Appointments

Whenever possible, all medical and dental appointments should be made outside of regular school hours. If this is not possible, parents/guardians should notify teachers to be affected by the student’s absence in advance, and proper check-out procedures must be followed before the student may leave school.

Physical Education Excuses

Every student enrolled in Physical Education is expected to participate. Excused absences may include but are not limited to: ● Sickness which prevents attendance in any other class. ● Doctor’s written excuse. These notes must state the cause and reason for excusing the student as well as the time the student will be able to return to normal activity. ● Parents’ written excuse. These notes should ask the instructor to take into consideration a student’s condition. Generally, there are activities that can be done without aggravating a problem. Therefore, in most situations a student will not be excused from P.E. ● Instructor’s prerogative. The instructor may excuse any student whom he or she considers unable to participate.

With permission of a doctor and special supervision of Physical Education teachers, special exercise programs for students temporarily or permanently unable to participate may be offered.

Payment of fees, tuition and other charges as set out in the Enrollment Application, Re-enrollment Form, Schedule of Charges, Student Handbook, and other communications must be made in accordance with the terms specified: ● A 2% discount is allowed on the advance payment of the annual tuition if received by the school on or before May 31. No discount is allowed on fees or any other charges. ● It is the parent/legal guardian’s obligation to pay the annual tuition when a student is enrolled regardless of whether the student actually attends school. Withdrawal of a student during the school year does not void the financial obligation to the school with the exception of families who move from the school area (50-mile radius of the school). ● Application fees are non-refundable. The initial registration fee, student commitment fee and advance tuition payments are refundable if (a) the family moves out of the area (50-mile radius of the school) before the opening of school, or (b) the school fails to provide enrollment to the student. ● A fee will be charged for each returned check.

Past Due

Current month’s tuition and fee charges are past due if not received by the last day of the month. A finance charge of 1.5% (annual rate 18%) is assessed on a balance due from the previous billing period. Any past due account is subject to the following provisions: ● A student whose account is more than 60 days past due is ineligible to enroll or to return for the second semester until satisfactory payment arrangements have been made.
