Dear Saint Theresa School families,
I was just informed that financial aid reports and the Bishop's Scholarship Awards will be made available after spring break. As soon as I have all this information, I will schedule an appointment with all the recipients in order to determine your next year's tuition. In the meantime, please be sure that you are signed up online with FACTS tuition management. Those families who pay the school directly, still need to enroll in FACTS and let me know if you wish to remain on bookkeeping for the 2016-17 school year.
As we near the last few months of school, I noticed that there is still a significant amount of outstanding tuition in need of collection. The school is placed in a real financial hardship when parents do not honor the dates on their payment schedule. Both Bishop Caggiano and the business office made it clear that our Catholic schools must show viability by collecting tuition and operating without debt.
Please note that if you have any outstanding tuition over 30 days we cannot process your 2016-17 enrollment contract. Students may not be allowed to participate in graduation ceremonies nor have their records transferred until all debt is fully paid. Also, financial aid for next year cannot be awarded if you have an outstanding balance.
I am happy to continue working with all our school families, however we all must make a commitment to the financial stability of Saint Theresa School by honoring payment schedules and deadlines.
Finally, I would like to extend an invitation to all our families, especially the middle school parents, to attend the April 25th H.S.A. meeting to discuss and explore some possible academic changes for next year.
I thank you all for your cooperation and wish you an enjoyable spring break.
S. Vittoria
