Statistics

Here are enrollment statistics for St. Joseph School:

Open House

An annual Open House is held on the Sunday of Catholic Schools Week each January.   Classroom visitation is also held that week.  During February current students re-register.  Pre-registration is held in late February and early March.   Appointments are scheduled for registration based on availability at each grade level.  Screening of all new entering students usually takes place in May.  The school maintains a waiting list with the names of those for whom we have no room at the time of registration.  These lists are held until January 15 of each year.   Contact the school office for a brochure and additional information.

Registration/ Tuition

Registration and re-registration begin in February.

Re-registration information for students continuing at our school is typically sent home in early February.

St. Joseph School holds registration for new families in early March each year. Parents are advised to watch the parish bulletin for information and dates. All acceptances are conditional, based upon our screenings, receipt of all records from previous school, and success in the first marking period academically, behaviorally, and socially.

Tuition and book fees are set by the School Board in consultation with the principal, pastor, and Parish Council. Specifics and payment schedules are part of the contract.

The book fee is assessed for the use of textbooks to cover the cost of maintaining a rental system. All texts are turned in at the end of the school year. Full payment at the current price will have to be paid if any textbook is lost or returned to the school in poor or unusable condition. All workbooks and consumables are paid for by means of the book fee. Students are provided with book covers and are expected to use them throughout the year.

Financial Aid

Part if the parish commitment to education is financial aid to families who are registered, supporting members of our parish who wish to consider our parish school as an educational alternative. Application forms for this aid are available in the school lobby after January 15. All deadlines must be met and are the responsibility of the applicant. No applications will be accepted after the posted deadlines unless unforeseen circumstances occur. These may include unexpected loss of employment, unexpected medical expenses, and family hardships. It is the responsibility of the applicant to make these special circumstances known to the Financial Aid Committee during the school year. This is done through the school office. A letter describing the circumstances is all that is needed for consideration.

Financial Obligations

St. Joseph School reserves the right to refuse to provide any official school record, including report cards and diplomas to a parent or other educational institution until all tuition, fees, and other obligations to St. Joseph School are satisfied in full.

St. Joseph School will consider requests for exceptions to this policy on an individual basis if it judges extraordinary circumstances are demonstrated.
