REGISTRATION FEES

Registration fees are $250 per child, due upon submission of the Registration Application. If families have difficulty paying the entire $250/child, but do wish to register, they should contact Mrs. Wertz to determine an acceptable payment towards registration, with the balance of all registration fees due on March 16, 2009. After March 16, 2009, all registration fees will be $275. This applies to returning and new students. Registration fees are not refundable.
