About St. Vincent De Paul School
Each September a students' name may be placed on the admissions list for the next school year, or the next available opening. A $25.00 non-refundable fee/student is required along with the completion of an admissions application. A name may remain on the admissions list for one academic year. This fee is not transferable for next year.
TUITION/FUNDRAISERS
A tuition registration contract for the next school year is issued in the spring of the year. Parents are expected to follow the schedule unless they have made other arrangements with the pastor and principal. Re-registration is held for the next school year during Catholic Schools Week, the last week of January. Tuition must be current before registration for the next school year is accepted. Tuition must be paid in full by June 1st of the current school year or the children will not be allowed to return to school the following school year. St. Vincent de
Paul School reserves the right to withhold student records, reports, etc. if the tuition is not paid in full.
Tuition covers approximately 60% of the school's cost of educationing a child at St. Vincent de Paul School. Additional funds are raised through fundraising. Remaining student costs are supplemented by parish investment. Therefore, parents and students are required to volunteer for the school and participate in fundraisers. All of the fundraisers at St. Vincent de Paul are in place to help
reduce the cost of tuition for each student. Each fundraiser during the school year has a goal and this amount must be raised to meet the budget. These are not for œextras . All students are expected to raise a minimum of $75.00 in the
annual fall Marathon. Some of the other fundraisers include, a magazine drive, Auction for Education, Taste Tests, Trash to Cash, SCRIP and etc. SCRIP is a program where you are able to buy gift cards to local retail establishments, who then pay a percentage back to the school in the form of a rebate. This rebate is split 50-50 between the school and as a personal tuition credit for the following year. $250.00 on the average per student is necessary to meet the fundraising
budget.
