SCHOOL UNIFORMS
A neat appearance is the responsibility of all students. The school uniform is to always be worn properly in school and when traveling to and from school. We require that students fully conform to our dress code regulations to fully realize our objectives of neatness and cleanliness. To ensure adherence to our standards, uniforms must be purchased from the Tommy Hilfiger Company. All uniform purchases should be made through the link on our school website. Complete details regarding this policy may be found in the Student/Parent Handbook on our website (www.molloyhs.org).
ALL STUDENTS MUST COME TO SCHOOL AND LEAVE SCHOOL DRESSED IN FULL UNIFORM.
GIRLS: Uniform shirt, uniform pants/skirt, knee high socks/tights, dress shoes.
Students cannot enter or leave the building in sweatpants, sneakers, crocs, pajama bottoms, athletic socks etc. Appropriate outerwear should be worn to and from school (sweatshirt, jacket) and must be left in the students’ locker during the school day. During lunch, students are allowed to wear their jackets or sweatshirts. Uniforms do not need to be worn for iPad distribution, but do need to be worn for the iPad makeup day. All members of the Class of 2029 should be in full uniform on Orientation Day, September 3rd .
TEXTBOOKS, WORKBOOKS, SUPPLIES
Textbooks will be loaded onto students’ iPads (See iPad distribution schedule on next page). Additional workbooks, novels, and supplementary textbooks will be available to purchase via our online bookstore. Details will be emailed to all students in the summer.
All Math courses at Molloy require the use of the TI-84 Plus CE graphing calculator. This is the calculator our teachers will be using in the classroom and therefore is the only type and model that should be purchased. There is no need to have the calculator in class for the first day of school; teachers will speak about the calculator in the first weeks and give students a deadline of when to bring it to class. If you would like to purchase the calculator over the summer, please make sure it is the TI - 84 Plus CE and keep it in its original packaging. This calculator will be used for all four years of math classes at Molloy.
All general class supplies that are needed will be mentioned by teachers once school begins and/or in the course syllabus. 4
SCHEDULING, ACCELERATED COURSES, AND STUDENT RECORDS
If your child is currently taking a Regents course and/or accelerated language course in 8th grade and wishes to be considered for accelerated placement in 9th grade:
• Please upload a PDF of your child’s transcript and/or report card showing final course marks in Regents/accelerated language courses, as well as Regents/Language Proficiency exam scores at this link no later than Thursday, June 26, 2025. Only upload a PDF if you wish to have your child considered for acceleration. Note that we cannot wait to receive these records over the summer, as we make our acceleration decisions in late June/early July To read about course information, our acceleration policy and more, visit Frequently Asked Questions on our website.
For all families:
• Please confirm that your child’s current school will send records/grades over the summer. Catholic elementary schools usually send us records over the summer, however most public schools do not send us records unless the parent/ guardian requests it. If your child’s current school is unable to send us records over the summer, please be sure to provide a final transcript showing all junior high school marks and completion of 8th grade when your child reports for iPad distribution in late August. Students will not be able to begin classes in September unless all previous academic records are on file.
• Students will receive more information about their class schedules when they pick up their iPad in late August.
• For questions about courses, visit our Course Catalog online. You may also contact Dr Des Flynn, Assistant Principal, with any questions: (dflynn@molloyhs.org).

TUITION 2025-2026
TUITION = $12,550 (Payable in 10 monthly installments, July – April)
Archbishop Molloy High School makes every effort to keep tuition and fees as affordable as possible. Our Alumni are very generous in supporting the mission at Molloy on behalf of your children. We understand the financial sacrifice that parents make to send their children to Catholic school. The vast majority of the school’s funding is derived from tuition and fees. The school must operate in a financially sound manner to provide a top-quality Catholic education in the Marist tradition for each and every one of our students. We ask that parents make every effort to submit payments in a timely fashion.
DELINQUENT PAYMENTS
Students whose accounts are greater than two (2) months past due, resulting in an overdue balance of greater than $2,510, may be suspended from class until payment is made. As a courtesy to our families, we do not charge late fees. If circumstances arise that may cause an overdue balance, the Finance Office must be notified immediately.
ARREARS POLICY
Tuition and fees not paid for an individual student as of the end of the fiscal year (8/31) will not be transferred as arrears to the student’s account for the new academic year under the following circumstances:
•The student has carried over arrears in a previous academic year; and •The total balance is greater than three months’ tuition ($3,765 in 2025-2026). When these criteria apply, the student may be asked to withdraw from Molloy. An official transcript will not be issued until balances have been cleared.
