Late Fees and Returned Checks

A $30.00 processing charge will be assessed by FACTS for any check returned by a bank. The Business Office reserves the right to require individuals issuing returned checks to make all subsequent payments by cash or money order (field trips, class dues, fundraisers, deposits, etc.)

Failure to Meet Financial Obligations

St. Mark reserves the right to refuse to provide any official school records, including report cards and diplomas, to parents or guardians or to other educational institutions until tuition, fees, and other financial obligations are fully satisfied. A student may not begin a new schoolyear unless prior financial obligations have been met and tuition payments due in the summer are up to date. If tuition falls two months in arrears, the School reserves the right to block a student from attendance on the 15th of the current month for a period of up to five school days. During the course of this period, parents or guardians have the responsibility to make immediate contact with the Business Office to make arrangements for payment. If, at the end of this period, financial obligations have not been met, the student may be asked to withdraw formally from the School.

Withdrawal

If a child is withdrawn from the School or is asked to leave, the School reserves the right to retain, pro-rate, or refund monies that have already been paid based on the chart below. In extraordinary circumstances of documented financial hardship (such as a sudden loss of income, serious illness or death, or divorce), the undersigned may contact the principal in writing to request a hardship exception.

The amount of tuition that a family is required to pay after a withdrawal is as follows:

Date of Withdrawal	Tuition Obligation
Prior to May 1st	0%
Prior to July 1st	25%
Prior to September 1st	50%
Prior to November 1st	75%
November 1st or after	100%

The tuition payment schedule is below. By choosing a Catholic School, a family is choosing to invest in a child’s future. A future of High School, College, and Career success, but more importantly the daily reminder to strive towards an eternal reward in heaven. Catholic school education is a financial investment, and our graduates and their families will attest that it is well worth the investment!
