Saint Simon Parish School believes that students benefit greatly by attending our school and encourages families to maximize this benefit by enrolling their student in the elementary school before entering the middle school. For new students entering Saint Simon Parish School for the first time in grades 6, 7 and 8, there is an additional middle school fee of $4,000 per year. This fee is waived for students transferring from another Catholic school or when a second child is also enrolled in grades K – 5.
This fee helps to cover the cost of enrollment, administration, textbooks, Department of Education fees, Catholic Telemedia Network fee, standardized testing, yard duty, child health insurance costs, room parent expenses and health office expenses.
Technology fees help cover the cost of online learning materials, ongoing maintenance of student laptops, network and internet access upgrades, professional development in technology for teachers, website upgrades, and to maintain professional IT staff to ensure effectiveness of the school's technology.
The eighth grade fee covers the costs of graduation and most of the costs of the graduation party.
Extended Care fees will be billed through Smart Tuition and will be collected in accordance with the payment plan that you have selected (automatic payment, credit card, or mail-in check).
Other miscellaneous school fees include supplemental books, field trips, clubs, sports, and extended care. These fees are billed via Smart Tuition.
Tuition payments are payable annually (August), semi-annually (August and January), or in ten monthly payments (August through May). Payments are considered delinquent after the 10th of each month for the selected payment plan. Smart Tuition will charge a $40 late fee for any payment received after the 10th of the month and will also charge $35 for any returned check or failed automatic payment. If payment is not received during the next thirty days the family must contact the principal to discuss their tuition account and plan to bring the account current.
The ability to participate in school extracurricular activities requires the timely payment of tuition, or a documented plan to bring the account current.
If an account becomes 60 days past due, a meeting with the principal is required. The family should arrange a meeting to discuss their financial situation and ability to continue at St. Simon Parish School and a written payment plan will be agreed to.
When an account is 90 days past due, if no arrangements have been made with the principal and the family, the family will be considered no longer enrolled in the school.
All previous unpaid tuition must be paid by June 30th each year if a student is to be enrolled on the first day of the new school year. If there is a balance due, the student will be placed on a wait list and will not be eligible to register/enroll for the new school year until the balance is paid in full.
Saint Simon Parish School utilizes Smart Tuition for the processing and collection of our families' tuition and fees for all grades, Preschool - 8th grade. By utilizing a tuition management system we are able to better serve our families, while improving the school's cash flow system. In addition to tuition, Smart Tuition is utilized for billing all fees, such as: registration, extended care, field trips, sports, and extracurricular activities.
