Re-Enrollment & Tuition Letter

This morning we sent out our 2024-25 re-enrollment email via TADS, detailing instructions to re-enroll for next school year as well as updated tuition information. This is the time where you’ll ensure that your enrolled child(ren) will be back next year at Saint Agnes for school.

Father Moriarty and I have composed a tuition letter that includes pertinent information concerning tuition for the 2024-25 school year. Please find the tuition letter linked below; a physical copy will also be mailed to your homes this week.

As is stated in the tuition letter, please be aware the school has a significant number of applications for 2024-25 for almost full, or already full classes. It is imperative to work within the timeline stated in your email to re-enroll your children to ensure that they keep their seats in our classrooms. Families that re-enroll after the stated dates risk losing their seats and landing on a waiting list. Please call the Admissions Office (651) 925-8803 with any questions regarding this process.
