All parents are required to financially support the school. Not paying tuition is not an option.

Vacations (Extended)
If it becomes necessary to extend a scheduled school break/recess or to take an additional break/vacation, the parent/guardian must submit a written note to the principal stating the purpose and the dates on which their child will be absent.

The teacher is not required to prepare the assignments ahead of time. It is the parent's responsibility to make the necessary arrangements for acquiring the class work missed during their child's absence. They also need to monitor their child's completion of missed work.

According to the diocesan Attendance Policy #4040, vacations are considered as unexcused absence (Section II,C,3). As noted in Section IV, the school is not required to provide credit for makeup of assigned work missed because the student's absence is unexcused.

Visitors
All visitors must check in at the office. This regulation is for the safety of the students.
