By April 16, 2000, applications will be processed according to the following:
priority given to (1) siblings of St. Patrick's students, (2) children of St.
Patrick's parishioners, (3) children of other Catholic parishes, and (4) children of other
faiths. Consideration for acceptance will be based on the admission policy and the
date of payment of the application fee. Pre/post dated checks are not accepted.
A waiting list will be comprised of those children who have not been accepted due
to lack of classroom space. For those applications submitted after April 14, 1999,
the names will be placed on the bottom of the waiting list in the order received.
Uniforms:
Uniforms for boys and girls in grades K-8 are ordered through Flynn & O'Hara.
Order forms can be picked up in the school office. Measuring day for ordering

Tuition:
There are three plans available to pay tuition (see rates below). Parents
must select one of the following plans when registering their child(ren).
1. ONE payment due JULY 1, 2000.
2. TWO equal payments due JULY 1, 2000 and DECEMBER 1, 2000.
Note: for plans one and two, the late payment penalty is $20 and enrollment
in F.A.C.T.S. will be required.
3. A family choosing to pay monthly over a TEN month period (JULY through
APRIL) is required to use the F.A.C.T.S. tuition management system. Tuition payments
through F.A.C.T.S. are made automatically from either your checking or savings account.
Families selecting this option must complete the F.A.C.T.S. application at the time
their child(ren) is accepted into St. Patrick's school.
A. REDUCED RATE: St. Patrick's Church is a tithing community
whose members are expected to support the Church by practicing responsible stewardship of
their time, treasure, and talent. One component of that support is REGULAR (not less
than monthly) monetary contributions using the church envelope system. To qualify
for the reduced tuition benefit afforded St. Patrick's parishioners, a registered family
is expected to attend weekly Mass at St. Patrick's and contribute a weekly offering of at
least $10 (or $40 monthly) for the six months prior to school registration (3/6/00).
Contributions cannot be paid in a lump sum and cannot be paid retroactively in
order to qualify for the reduced rate. A family's tuition rate will be determined by
the Parish office at school registration time and will not change during the year unless a
family loses their reduced tuition status. Those qualifying for the reduced rate
will have their status reviewed quarterly.
