discount on the matriculation and registration fees. A
3% discount is given on the annual tuition if it is paid
in full by check or cash before the first day of school.
BOOK FEES The prices for workbooks are published
by June 1. Book fees must be paid by the first day of
school since we cannot distribute books until
they are purchased. Prepaying these during the summer
will help avoid waiting in line during Open House.
Please see the page titled “Workbook and Class Fees” for
the most current listing of these costs.
ATHLETIC FEES Sports fees are due before the
first game of the season. The seasons are divided into
fall, winter, and spring sports. The fees are $90 for
each varsity sport and $60 for each JV sport. If a
parent has two or more children playing a varsity sport
in the same season, the fee is $60 for the additional
varsity siblings. The varsity fee includes a season pass
for the entire family to all home games during that
season. Parents of JV players will be charged admission
for each game they attend. If a parent has a varsity and
JV child, the pass for the varsity game will allow free
admission to the JV game also.
OTHER FEES Class fees for courses such as
physics, chemistry, and keyboarding are due before the
first day of school. P.E. uniforms must be purchased
before the first day of classes. A graduation fee is due
for all seniors ($55) and kindergartners ($25) before
their day of graduation. Returned checks incur a $30 fee
(and personal checks are not accepted after two returned
checks). A withdrawal fee of $50 will be charged
if a student withdraws after the first day of school.
Students in grades K3, K4, and K5 pay a $45 supply fee,
which covers supplies such as crayons, pencils, glue,
construction paper, scissors, school box, tissues, etc.
for the entire year.
DAY CARE
Students in SCS who arrive for early care, stay for late
care, or attend on days when the school is closed are
charged an hourly rate of $2.95 per child. Please see
the website or Parent-Student Guide for other
information about Day Care.
TARGET LEARNING CENTER (TLC) The fee is $150 per
course per month from September - May (about $7.50 per
hour calculated over the 180 days of school). See the
parent information sheet for other information regarding
TLC.
REFUNDS Matriculation and registration fees are
non-refundable and non-transferable. Workbook fees are
refundable if the books are totally unused. Unused
tuition is refundable and is calculated by prorating the
daily rate of tuition (based on 180 school days).
PAST DUES Students whose accounts are thirty days
in arrears may not attend class. All records and report
cards are withheld until tuition costs, library fines,
Day Care, lunch charges, and all other school fees are
paid in full. Personal checks are not accepted for past
due accounts. Students may not attend the first day of
school unless the account is current. |
