Saint Teresa of Avila School provides quality Catholic education through the efforts of our Pastor, faculty, staff, Home and School Association, volunteers, parish community, and most of all, through the many sacrifices made by the parents/guardians of the children enrolled here. Families who are registered parishioners of Saint Teresa of Avila are expected to contribute to the support of the Parish through weekly offering contributions.
Tuition is determined in February for the following school year. The school also may impose fees for other items, such as extracurricular activities, science equipment/labs, field trips, books, registration, and graduation. This information is communicated to parents/guardians through the family communication envelope.
In fairness to all families and the parish community, parents/guardians are expected to keep tuition payments up to date. Tuition payments are to be made monthly during the 10-month school year (i.e., September through June) or as a single total-sum payment. Monthly tuition envelopes are provided through the school, and tuition payments are expected on the first day of each month.
Both parents/guardians are jointly responsible for tuition and other fees charged by the school. Families experiencing financial difficulties regarding tuition or fee payments are encouraged to speak directly with the Pastor.
The Pastor and Administration routinely review tuition payment records. The student report card will not be released if the tuition account has an outstanding balance, unless the parent/guardian has met and made suitable arrangements with the Pastor or the principal. In addition, the school reserves the right to take further action, up to and including dismissal and withholding of school records, if tuition payments are not timely made.
When a student’s tuition for the preceding year remains unsatisfied, re-registration may be withheld for the upcoming year.
