TUITION/FINANCIAL AID

The Christ the King School Advisory Council determines the Christ the King School tuition policy. Copies are provided in the registration packets.

Tuition Rates and Parish Status Policy
There are two different tuition rates at Christ the King School: Parishioner and Non — Parishioner. The tuition rate for each family will be determined at the time of registration and re — registration.

Supportive status will be assigned by verifying the following:

The child's baptism in the Catholic Church;
The family's registration in Christ the King Parish;
Attendance at Sunday Mass on a regular basis at Christ the King;
Families who apply for in — parish tuition shall support the parish. Support of the parish shall be established by the use of the parish envelope system or by check. No minimum contribution is specified. You must be registered in the church office for 12 months (January 1 — December 31).
Those that do not qualify for this status will pay tuition at a higher rate.
Tuition — paying status will be set each January for the upcoming school year and adjusted each January thereafter.
A "Wait List Parishioner" is a contributing parishioner before or during the time child(ren) is on the Wait List

Non — Parishioner status will be assigned to Catholic families who do not contribute to Christ the King Church through the use of Sunday envelopes or checks or those who have identified their membership in another parish. All other families will be assigned "Parishioner" rates.

Audits of those who are assigned Supportive Parishioner status will be conducted periodically in the school office after records are furnished
from the church office. Those whose contributions do not meet the requirements for "Parishioner" status will become Non — Parishioner.
Parents may choose any of the following methods of payment. However, once a decision is made, the parent will be expected to fulfill that choice for the school year. **Tuition is Non — Refundable. Parents are still obligated to finish paying out SMART and second 1/2 payments even if student(s) leave(s). Choice of tuition payment may be changed each year, as desired by the parent, but only at the time of re — registration.

Tuition Payments
2007 – 2008 School Year
Tuition may be paid in 10 monthly installments from May 2007 — February 2008, via the SMART Tuition collection program, at an additional fee of $38. Fee should be submitted at the time of re — registration. Checks should be made payable to CKS. SMART applications will be sent and completed prior to May 1 for the following academic year.
OR
Tuition may be paid in 2 equal semester payments, payable directly to the School Office, due on or before May 1, 2007 and November 1, 2007.

Any student whose 2007 — 2008 tuition is not paid in total by April 15, 2008 will not be placed on the 2008 – 2009 student roll. CKS cannot guarantee a place on the next academic year’s student roll for any student whose tuition for the current year is not paid in full by April 15. May, June, and July payments for the upcoming year must be paid up — to — date before students return in August.

Special Circumstances for Tuition Payment:

In a case where parents have separate homes, CKS asks one parent be responsible for the payment of tuition.
Any person who owes more than 1 month’s tuition must pay with a cashier’s check or a money order.

Any payment returned for insufficient funds must remitted with a cashier’s check or a money order.

It is the parent's responsibility to advise the principal if there are any problems with maintaining tuition payments on time. Failure to pay fees
or tuition in a timely manner can result in the withholding of records
(including progress reports, report cards, or transcripts), in the refusal to permit a child to re — register for the following terms, or in a child's immediate dismissal from school. It is vitally important that all families meet their financial responsibilities to CKS in order for us to maintain our academic excellence

Fees and Fines
Christ the King School will withhold the release of report cards, progress reports, and transcripts if the student owes outstanding fees or fines for the following: tuition payments, defaced, damaged, or lost books, books not returned, library fines, Extended Day Care fees, Dine Rite fees, band.
