Family Commitment

For the academic year 2022-2023, the cost of education per child is approximately $7000. Tuition covers about 97% of the total cost. Cost is kept as low as possible because of substantial Parish support, the contributed services of our dedicated teachers, and the fundraisers and contributed services of our faithful parents. The Advisory Commission has a strong policy of Fair Share access to these tuition subsidies.

The “Parental Involvement” policy, amended March, 1995, states:

“In order to promote Catholic Christian involvement in the Parish and School so that the children may see how important we hold Catholic Education, even to the point of personal sacrifice, the following requirements must be completed by all families with children enrolled at St. Basil School:
1) Worshipping together as a family and supporting St. Basil Church as evidenced by registering in the Parish and regular use of Parish contribution envelopes.
2) Fulfilling tuition obligations.
3) Completing the hours commitment and participation in fund-raisers.”

1) Parents’ Club Scrip and Fundraisers

Scrip is a certificate used in place of cash or check to purchase goods at participating stores and restaurants. The scrip program costs families no additional money. Families receive dollar-for-dollar value at all participating stores. Scrip, purchased by friends or family, USING YOUR CUSTOMER NUMBER, will apply to your scrip participation. Each family is required to earn $200 in Scrip Rebates (Rebates are a discounted percentage our school earns from each retailer). Families may prefer to opt-out by contributing $200 in lieu of scrip purchases.

The Oktoberfest, Crab Feed, Fun Run and Instant Wine Cellar Raffle are fundraisers to support the school. Families may prefer to opt-out by contributing $200.00 in lieu of fundraising participation.

2) Volunteer Hours

Recognizing the importance of parental involvement in the parish/school community and the many demands on parents’ time, the Advisory Commission has suggested the number of service hours at 30 per family per school year in activities approved by the Principal and the Parents’ Club.

• 30 hours for two parent families
• 15 hours for single parent families
• one Saturday Work party (4 hours)
• 5 of the 30 hours must be in assisting with the team or games if your child(ren) participate(s) in our Sports Program.

3) It is of the utmost importance

It is of the utmost importance that parents remind themselves that their support of the school, especially in regard to prompt payment of tuition and willingness to volunteer in school projects, is a pre-requisite to re-registration and a condition for continued presence in school. Report cards may be held from families who are delinquent on payments. The school reserves the right to deny re-admission to any family delinquent in tuition or who has not met the school contract. Any family who fails to meet the parent involvement requirements, may be charged increased registration fees for the subsequent year. In addition, failure to support the philosophy, objectives, and policies of the school may also result in a bar to re-admission.

Volunteer Hours, required as part of enrollment in the school, include activities such as time spent working on the auction or crab feed, coaching, or providing yard supervision. Hours should not be credited for attending mandatory meetings (a separate commitment).
