Returned Payments

All bank fees will be passed on to your account for the return of a check (as when paying the registration fee) or direct debit decline.

Delinquent Accounts

Families one payment in arrears will be notified by the St. Joseph Catholic School Principal and Parish Finance Office as being PAST DUE. Report cards will not be distributed to students whose accounts are past due.

Families with an outstanding tuition balance two payments in arrears will be notified by the St. Joseph Catholic School & Parish Finance Office as being SERIOUSLY DELINQUENT. A written crisis notification will be provided to the families. The principal, pastor (as appropriate) will be notified of the seriously delinquent status. The crisis notification will alert the family that the student will not be allowed to attend classes beginning the first of the following month.

St. Joseph Catholic School & Parish Finance Office will pursue every avenue to obtain tuition payment, including collection agencies and legal options. School records will not be released until the outstanding tuition balance is paid in full, as well as any collection fees incurred.

Parishioner Status

Families are granted parishioner status by pastor authorization. The school principal does not have the authority to grant parishioner status.

Should a discrepancy arise regarding a family’s parishioner status, it must be resolved through the parish. It is the responsibility of the family to resolve the discrepancy with the pastor, not the school principal.
