SCHOOL YEAR
Admissions and re-enrollment for the 2019-2020 school year will open on Friday, December 14, 2018. St. Alphonsus School will continue to partner with TADS to process the admissions and re-enrollments.
RE-ENROLLMENT
Current school families may re-enroll with priority from Friday, December 14, 2018, to Friday, January 25, 2019. An e-mail from tads@support.com containing information on re-enrollment will be sent to the e-mail addresses in your TADS account. If you do not receive this e-mail by 4:00 pm on Friday, December 14, 2018 please contact TADS at 1-800-477-8237.
Re-enrolling by January 25th will insure your child's placement for the 2019-2020 school year. New families will be able to apply for admission and enrollment beginning Saturday, January 26th. There is a $175.00 Tuition Deposit due for each child you re-enroll in grades 3K-8. In accordance with the enrollment policy, please re-enroll and pay the Tuition Deposit for all of the children in your family by January 25th .
The Tuition Deposit, less a $50.00 processing fee per student, is refundable on or before April 5, 2019. Please contact the school office at 421-1760 if you wish to withdraw your enrollment. Beginning April 6, 2019, the Tuition Deposit is not refundable.
The Tuition Deposit will increase to $300.00 per student for all enrollments and re-enrollments completed on and after April 6, 2019.
SCRIP VOUCHER FOR PAYMENT OF TUITION DEPOSIT
Lori Korek, SCRIP Coordinator, will be sending SCRIP vouchers to families in late January, 2019. If you will be using all or a portion of your SCRIP voucher to pay the Tuition Deposit, you will be allowed to defer the deposit payment at the time of your re-enrollment.
SPANISH ENROLLMENT
Spanish is mandatory for all students in 5K – 8th grades. As a result, there will not be a separate Spanish enrollment question on the enrollment form.
