Dear Parents,
The main goal in developing our newly organized Regionalized school system was to create financial stability for the schools of Archdiocese of New York and to ensure their long-term viability and growth. To date, I am very pleased with the improvements already realized due to our regional plan. In order for schools to meet a balanced budget however, they must still collect tuition payments from families in a timely manner. As stated in the 2013-14 Parent Student Handbook, "your school's expectation at the time of registration is that all tuition and fees will be paid on time. Failure to do so could result in the suspension of a child for delinquent tuition or fees. " With the conclusion of the first semester, there are some families that have not remained current with their tuition obligations. It is essential to the financial health of your school community that all families fulfill their commitment to submit timely tuition payments.
From September - December 2013, families who were 30 days late on tuition received notification letters from SMART tuition; the 30-day notification policy will continue. However, effective January 1, 2014, families who are delinquent 60 days on tuition will receive a second letter; this letter will come from their principal. Upon receipt of this notification, parents/guardians are asked to contact their principal to discuss a tuition payment plan. If a parent/guardian does not contact the principal within two weeks of receiving the letter, the child/children may not be permitted to attend school.
I lament having to write a 'tuition collection' letter to our parents at this time, but truly thank you in advance for your cooperation and adherence to our tuition policy.
If you have any questions, please contact your principal.
Sincerely,
Timothy J. McNiff
Superintendent of Schools
