RE-ENROLLMENT PACKETS FOR 08-09
Re-enrollment packets for the 2008-2009 school year will come home with your student on February 27. Scholarship applications are available in the school office. The processing fee is $20.00.
INCENTIVE FOR NEW STUDENT RECRUITMENT
St. John School parents who recruit new families with students in kindergarten through eighth grade will receive a $300 tuition credit per family recruited. The new family must identify the family who recruited them on the enrollment application. If the recruiting family is not identified on the enrollment application at the time of enrollment, the recruiting family may not receive this benefit. This tuition credit will be applied to the last tuition payment of the school year (January 2009 for 2008-2009 school year), or applied to a designated fund of the church or school, if the new family remains enrolled through that time.
TRANSPORTATION REIMBURSEMENT FORMS
Transportation Reimbursement forms are now in the school office. Any family who lives farther than 1 ½ miles from school is encouraged to sign up for this reimbursement. Children who are current Kindergarten – 8th grade students may be claimed.
