“Continuous Enrollment” is a simple way of re-registering our current families for the new school year. Continuous Enrollment assumes that once a family enrolls at Saint Michael Catholic School they will continue their education with us until graduation from 12th grade. Due in large part to the fact that most of our families remain year after year, this method streamlines the re-enrollment process by reducing time and paperwork for parents and the school staff every year. Continuous Enrollment also provides vital real-time information to our school board for budgetary purposes as well as long-term planning. For current families, Continuous Enrollment ensures a seat in a class for your child(ren) for the next school year. The only time a parent will need to complete paperwork is, if for personal reasons, the students will not be returning to school. For instance, if a family is moving. In this case, we ask families to submit an 'Opt-out Notification Form" so we know your intentions for next fall.
In the event Saint Michael School does not receive an " Opt-Out Notification Form”, the non-refundable annual Registration/Enrollment Fee will be billed by FACTS Tuition Management in April. This gets the proverbial ball rolling for the next school year. The payment plan selected at initial enrollment will renew/rollover into the school year ahead. However, please note that families may contact the school at any time to discuss a change to the payment schedule if needed.
Each enrollment period, parents will be given the opportunity to opt-out of Continuous Enrollment for the following school year by filling out the electronic opt-out form found to the right. If you wish to opt-out of Saint MIchael Catholic School enrollment for the upcoming school year, you must submit the opt-out form before March 31, 2024.
Please note:
We encourage you to contact the Principal or the Admissions Director if there is an issue or concern that we might be able to help with prior to completing the form. Education is a partnership, we care for your family, and we would like the opportunity to work with you before making a decision to opt out or withdraw your student(s).
This Opt-Out form will be digitally sent to both the Principal and the Admissions Director.
Please note that student records and transcripts are not released for withdrawn students until all current fees and financial obligations are paid.
Notes for full-time students who are opting out of Continuous Enrollment:
Your student’s spot at SMS will no longer be guaranteed and will be subject to SMS having space available in that grade(s) should you ultimately choose to enroll for the fall.
Our school board has finalized the tuition rates for the upcoming school year. Below are two documents to communicate with families the set tuition rates for 2024/2025, as well as a more detailed view of the increase by grade on a monthly and yearly basis.
Our school board is committed to keeping tuition rates affordable for families while ensuring the long term sustainability of our school for the year, and years, ahead. This decision is made with great care and concern for our entire school community.
