fees
The Registration Fee must be paid in full in order for registration to be complete. The Resource Fee must be paid in full prior to the first day of school. This fee covers rental of textbooks, the purchase of consumable books and assists with various school-wide activities.
Early/Late StaY
After-school care is available at an additional cost. Please see your enrollment package for current prices. Late Stay closes at 6:00pm; anyone arriving after 6:00pm will be charged an additional $15.00. On days when school closes early, Late Stay will be provided until 2:00pm.
achievement testing
Every year in the spring a nationally recognized standardized achievement test is administered to all students in grades K5-11. While it is not the only way to assess our school, it is an important method of evaluating our students, the scope/sequence/content of our curriculum, and our teachers.
college testing
In lieu of taking achievement tests, the senior class is required to take the ACT or SAT college entrance test. Seniors must register for the test on their own and meet the financial obligations. It is highly recommended that this process be handled at the beginning of the school year. While there are several dates from which to choose, students are strongly advised to register for the April test date. Research suggests that students perform better at this time of the school year since they have completed most of their coursework for the twelfth grade.
