TUITION PAYMENTS
St. Paul’s offers a 10-month payment plan, a 12-month payment plan, and a 2-semester payment plan. Tuition payments are due the 1st of the month if paying directly to St. Paul’s or by credit card, and the 1st or the 15th of the month if using Thrivent’s Automatic Debit (Link at Bottom). If paying over 10 months, payments begin July 1 or July 15, 2008, and end on April 1 or April 15, 2009. If paying over 12 months, payments begin July 1 or July 15, 2008, and end on June 1 or June 15, 2009. If paying in 2 semester payments, the payment due dates are July 1, 2008, and January 1, 2009.
Parents who are members of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church may pay a reduced tuition rate if they have completed the Member Tuition Reduction Policy and are in compliance with policy. A complete copy of the tuition policy is on the reverse side. A separate statement is posted within the Parent-Student Handbook. Members must complete the church membership form, including obtaining the pastor’s signature, and return it to the school office to qualify for the member rate.
A Facility Improvement amount has also been included in the annual tuition fee. This amount assists in improving and upgrading our properties and facilities. The tuition rate also supports the staff with rising health care costs, wages, and retirement.

TUITION POLICY, 2010-2011
DUE DATES: Tuition payments are due the 1st of the month, or if using Automatic Debit (Link at Bottom), payments are due on the 1st or 15th day of the month whether the 10-month, 12-month, or 2-semester program is being utilized.
GRACE PERIOD: A grace period is permitted only if paying on the 1st of the month by cash, check, credit card, or money order. If the tuition is not received by the 5th of the month, a late fee of $35 will be assessed. The late tuition payments that do not include the late fee will not be accepted and will remain past due and payable. There will also be a $30 fee (NSF) added to the account in the case of a returned check.
MEMBER RATES: Parents who are members of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church pay a reduced tuition rate if they have completed the Member Tuition Reduction Policy, obtain the pastor’s signature, turned the card in to the school office, and are in compliance with the policy (worship attendance, congregational giving, and involvement in areas of school and/or church life).
OVERDUE ACCOUNTS: A written notice from the school office will be sent to families whose accounts are overdue by one payment. If an account becomes two (2) monthly payments or one semester payment overdue, the account must be set up for automatic withdrawal (Link at Bottom). Also, the student(s) involved may not be admitted to class. In order to be readmitted, the tuition payments must be paid up-to-date including any tuition which became due during the suspension period. All late fees must be paid. Information concerning unpaid tuition will be included in a student’s file should the student transfer to another school without bringing fee payments up-to-date.
RE-ENROLLMENT: No family will be permitted to re-enroll if any preschool, school age care, elementary school tuition and other fees are unpaid from previous years. Payments must be current at registration.
DIPLOMAS: Diplomas for graduating students will be withheld until all back fees are paid.
EXTENDED ABSENCES: Any student absent for an extended period of time (more than one month) may reserve his place in the class by payment of two-thirds of the normal tuition. The due date, grace period and late fees apply to this payment in the same manner as to a normal tuition payment. When this payment is two months in arrears the student will be sent a written notice from the school office and suspended and another student admitted to the class from the current waiting list.
REFUNDS: When a student is withdrawn from school, any tuition that has been paid in advance of the current month will be refunded. Current month’s tuition is not refundable.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: A three-member board has been established to consider the needs of any church member who has a genuine financial need and who wishes to apply for reduced tuition. An application form for such reductions is available in the school office. A non-refundable filing fee of $20 must be included with application. Re-enrolling families must submit this form with their registration packet by February 15th. New families must submit this form with their application before they are accepted. The form is comprehensive and designed to give all applications equitable consideration.
