Beginning in late January and from now through the end of the school year, we are functioning in two years at one time. This means, we are continuing to teach and to learn, enjoying winter and spring sports, singing and ringing in Chorus and Hand/Chime Bell Choir, playing guitar, celebrating Mass together, and Oh, so much more… AND we are preparing for our next school year, 2016-2017… We anticipate the passage from grade-to-grade, year-end assess-ments, season-end sports banquets and the Spring Concert, saying farewell to our 2016 Graduates … This list might make the most stout-hearted among us, weary.

Thanks to all for the St. Rose School promotions on behalf of our parents, teachers, friends, and students, we look forward to welcoming a fuller TK, a full Kindergarten, and many new students arriving from within and outside of our Roseville and St. Rose/St. Clare/Sts. Peter and Paul/St. Joseph/St. Joseph Marello communities. Please continue to share the Good News AND the good word about St. Rose School, to all you see. St. Rose is a wonderful place to pray and learn, be friends and be leaders, laugh, play, and giggle at Fun Joke Friday, and Oh! So much more!!

Packed inside this issue of the St. Rose School Monthly Messenger, are articles to update you on what will happen as we move into this time of year-end and year-beginning. Read about our new policy for addressing year-end financials—outstanding balances for tuition, Extension, fees, scrip, or service point positions; read also about the new processes for Registration 2016-17. Get excited along with your fellow families about all the new Parent Guild opportuni-ties as well. We are all so blessed.

In 2015, St. Rose School moved to our newest tuition management provider, TADS. This coming school year, 2016-17, we will increase the offerings of TADS to our families. The following elements will be fully addressed by TADS:

Application Registration Tuition Management Extension Invoices Tuition Aid Applications

Parents will no longer make tuition payments through PAL’s Bookkeeping or FACTS.

Registration packets will be going home to each family on March 15th 2016. Please read the Registration instructions from St. Rose School and TADS carefully so that you understand the options provided by the tuition management plan, in particular, your ACH due date options or associated fees (i.e. late payments, insufficient funds…). We are excited to provide this complete offering so as to better serve the families of our school.

Year-end Financials

It has been recommended by our Catholic School Department that all schools institute a new policy regarding the setting of financial obligations by families at year’s end. In the coming months, March, April, and May, families will complete the following payments in accordance with your St. Rose School Tuition, Parent Guild, and as applicable, Extended Day Agreements: Tuition payments (10 month payment plan ending April 30; quarterly payments due April 1) Registration 2016-17 - $400.00 per child [due to hold students’ seats in the next class] Parent Guild Agreement 2015-16: Scrip Purchases ($3,000.00 - May 1, 2015 through April 30, 2016) OR $500.00 Buy-out paid Service Point positions complete or $1,500.00 Buy-out paid Extended Day Care—invoices must be current through June 6, 2016 (last day of Extension) Chromebook Repair invoices Damaged book fees, library fines Past due fees or invoices

St. Rose school will implement the policy as follows: Parents will be informed in advance of Tuesday, April 19, 2016 (Parent Guild Registration Day), of all outstanding financial obligations, Extended Day Care payments accepted. (Extension fees will be calculated at 6:00 pm, Tuesday June 6, 2016). Any outstanding payments and fees will be listed for each fam-ily. Beginning this year, parents will come into the school office on Wednesday morning, June 7, 2016, between 7:30 - 10:30am. At that time, outstanding payments and fees should be paid in full and parents will receive the report cards of their children. In the case of 8th grade students, all payments and fees will be paid on or before Monday, May 23, 2016. Students receive their report card following graduation on Thursday, May 26.
