    Financial Obligations


    PARISH SUPPORT AND SUNDAY ENVELOPES

    It is expected that all families will regularly attend Sunday Mass and contribute to the best of their ability to the parish.  Lack of school family support of the parish will directly impact tuition.  School parents are expected to support the Parish through contributions and stewardship.  Children learn about stewardship, Christian service and parish support from their parents.  We appreciate your support.  St. Isidore Parish supports St. Isidore School by subsidizing 24% of the cost to educate each K-8 grade student.


    PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS

    You are given a choice in the spring as to how you will fulfill your tuition obligation.  You may choose one of these payment plans:

    • Annually - Full amount due by Aug. 15 (3% discount given for this option)
    • Semi-Annually - Tuition paid in two equal payments
    • Quarterly payments - Tuition paid in four equal payments
    • Monthly - Tuition paid in 12 equal payments

    Market Day, Script and Dinner Dance Raffle Tickets credits will be applied directly to tuition. Dinner Dance Raffle Ticket credit will not be applied until after the event.


     

    DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS

    All tuition and fees must be kept current.  Your child's continued enrollment/attendance is contingent upon keeping your account current.  All accounts are monitored monthly.  Students may be excluded from classes if accounts are seriously delinquent.  If a hardship should occur, please contact Mrs. Collins as soon as possible.  We will try to work with you as best we can.  A late fee of $10.00 may be assessed for tuition collected after the 15th of the month.  A $25.00 fee will be assessed on all NSF checks.  Registration for the next school year will not be processed until all accounts are current.  Final payments for the school year must be received by May 15th or your child/children's place may be given to a child on the wait list.

     

    Introductory Attendance Period for New Students

    All new students attend St. Isidore School on an introductory basis for the first quarter of attendance.  The introductory period of attendance is intended to give new students the opportunity to demonstrate their ability to achieve a satisfactory level of academic performance, behavior, and attitude to determine whether the new school meets their expectations.  The school uses this period to evaluate student capabilities, attitudes, attendance, and overall performance.  After the first quarter of attendance, the school may end the relationship.

     

    Student Information

    Local High Schools often ask for names, addresses and phone numbers of junior high students.  We will supply this directory information unless a parent specifies otherwise.

 

About

St. Isidore was a farm hand. He was born near Madrid, Spain in 1070. He attended mass every morning at a Madrid church before he set out for work as a farm laborer.  Isidore and his wife vowed celibacy in gratitude for a miracle which saved their son from drowning in a well. They were known for their holiness and care of the poor. St. Isidore died May 15, 1130. He was canonized with other Spaniards - St. Ignatius Loyola, St. Francis Xavier, and St. Teresa of Avila on March 12, 1622.
