Re-enrollment for 2023-2024

With our 93% retention rate, our streamlined re-enrollment process has proven to be successful. The process is structured so that current students will be automatically re-enrolled for the 2023-2024 school year.  Enrollment fees of $300 per student will be charged on February 1, 2023 from the FACTS account on file. Families in need of an extension payment plan must also contact the Business Office by January 13, 2023. Re-enrollment fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. If, for some reason, your student will not be returning to St. Joseph Catholic School, notification in writing is needed by January 13, 2023. If you have any questions, please contact Tisha Hilliard (thilliard@sjcherndon.org or 703-880-4355
