Re-Enrollment
Due Friday, 1/31/2020
Thank you to all the families that have re-enrolled! Our goal is to get everyone
re-enrolled by Friday, January 31. If you have not submitted the re-enrollment packet and fee for your child, you can do so in ParentsWeb.
The school cannot hold any spaces for current families without payment and a completed re-enrollment packet for each child.
When you are completing the online re-enrollment packet and get to the FACTS section to choose the tuition plan for next year, please do not stop there. After you choose the tuition plan, you must return to Renweb to submit the re-enrollment packet and fee. If you miss this final step, the re-enrollment packet for your child will not be submitted. Once the payment and packet are submitted, you will receive a confirmation email (please check your spam folder if you do not see it in your inbox). If you did not receive the confirmation email and the funds are not taken out of your bank account, the re-enrollment for your child has not been submitted. If you have questions, call or email Mrs. DeMicheli at
enrollment@mtctampa.org
