Registration packet 2024-2025

Dear Parents,

It’s that time of year again. We are starting re-registration of all current TK-7 students for the 2024-2025 school year. Some of the classes at Moreland are full, and before we accept external students, we would like to ensure that our existing families have priority and the opportunity to confirm their places.

As we go forward with our plans for next year, it is important for budgetary purposes to know as early as possible, our rate of re-registration. We have many new families inquiring about registration for their child for next year. This is certainly welcome news as we continue to grow Notre Dame; however, we certainly hope that all our present families re-register.

This year has been full of changes, some evident daily and some that will be more evident over time. These changes have been made with the long-term viability of the school in mind, and to ensure the best education for your child (ren). While there are more changes on the horizon, one thing will always remain the same and that is our commitment to our mission.

The Board, faculty and I truly look forward to having your family return as part of our wonderful school community. Thank you for choosing Notre Dame and permitting us to play a meaningful role in the academic and spiritual preparation of your child (ren).

Please complete this electronic registration packet by the end of February. If anyone has concerns about paying the registration fee, please see me.

I would like to thank you for your support and cooperation.

Blessings,

Mrs. Mottau

In consideration of the mutual acceptance of this contract by Moreland Notre Dame and the undersigned, the undersigned agrees to pay the 2024-2025 tuition and fees as specified in this contract and on the accompanying “Tuition and Fee Schedule”

It is understood by the undersigned parent(s) or guardian(s) that this tuition and fee contract is an agreement with Moreland Notre Dame to provide educational services for the tuition, fees, and other charges during the 2024-2025 school year.

FINANCIAL POLICIES

1. All tuition payments are due on time according to the tuition plan selected. All tuition payments will be by FACTS tuition management.

2. There is a $25.00 charge by FACTS for any returned check, late payment, or attempted and denied automatic withdrawal.

3. MND has the right to take legal action to collect school tuition and fees. Parents/guardians will be responsible for all costs of collection, including court expenses and reasonable attorney fees.

4. Tuition assistance is available to qualified families; however, the payment schedule agreed upon must be adhered to for continued attendance.

5. Should a student leave MND before the end of the school year, the parents/guardians are responsible for payment of tuition through the end of the trimester (A student leaves mid second trimester, 66% of the total tuition is due). If the parent/guardian has paid in excess of the amount due, the balance will be refunded. Written notification of withdrawal must be given to the school at least two weeks before the date of withdrawal.

6. If you are unable to pay your monthly tuition on time, it is important that you contact the school office and make arrangements to pay the amount due.

2. Every family is obligated to perform 30 hours of service to the school, as defined by the MND Service Points program. An unfulfilled service hour is $20. If you are unable to give actual service, a donation of $20 per hour will fulfill this obligation.

3. A non-refundable registration fee is due at the time of acceptance of new students as a condition of enrollment. A non-refundable registration fee is due for continuing students by July 1.

Dear Parents,

Financial Aid applications are reviewed annually. Consideration is limited to families who are registered for the academic year in which financial aid is being requested. The determination for financial aid is made by a committee. A request for assistance is not a guarantee that assistance will be given--but where need meets the threshold set by FACTS, and the spirit of prayerful sacrifice exists, Notre Dame School hopes to help families afford a Catholic education.

This is our procedure for tuition assistance applications:

1. All accounts (tuition, SEP, sports) must be current.

2. The registration fee for the year in which the family is applying must be paid.

3. Complete the online process through FACTS Grant and Aid at www.factstuitionaid.com. If there is information missing in your application, please explain that in the next step.

4. Write a letter that explains your need AND the importance of a Catholic education--particularly a Notre Dame Education--for your child (ren). The letter may be written in English or Spanish. If there is information on your Grant and Aid application that is misleading or may not give us a glimpse of the true situation, please include that, too. These are the essential questions to answer:

I am requesting tuition assistance because...

In a spirit of prayer and sacrifice, this is how much we can afford to pay per month per student...

We will not consider an application for aid without the letter, which should be sent to the school and addressed to the principal's attention.

Authorization for Use of Child’s Image

I give permission to Moreland Notre Dame to use the image/likeness of my child (ren) in the following ways:

• In advertisements for Moreland Notre Dame such as in print newspaper ads, magazine article photos, banners, and so forth.

Moreland Notre Dame Technology Acceptable Use Guidelines

We are pleased to offer our students of Moreland Notre Dame access to technology. To utilize the technology offered at Moreland Notre Dame, this form must be signed and submitted to the office.

Students are responsible for good behavior on school devices just as they are in a classroom or school library. It is presumed that users will comply with school standards and will honor the agreements they have signed. School personnel will make the standards clear and monitor use as reasonably appropriate as possible, but cannot be responsible for the actions of individuals who violate the standards. File storage areas may be treated like students’ school desks. Administrators may review files and communications to maintain system integrity and insure that users are using the system responsibly. Users should not expect that files stored on computers will be private.

As outlined in The MND Parent and Student Handbook, copies of which are available on our website, the following are not permitted.

 
· Eating or drinking while using Chromebooks or computers in the Library

· Running/roughhousing while using Chromebooks or computers

· Displaying offensive messages or pictures

· Using obscene language

· Harassing, insulting or attacking others

· Damaging computers, computer systems, computer networks or library books.

· Violating copyright laws

· Using another person’s password

· Trespassing in another person’s folders, work or files

· Intentionally wasting limited resources

· Employing the network for commercial purposes.

 Violations may result in a loss of access as well as other disciplinary or legal action. Parents may be held responsible, financially or legally, for the actions of their children. As a user of the Moreland Notre Dame, while using Chromebooks or computers, classroom tablets and Library computers, I agree to obey the rules as stated in the “Moreland Notre Dame Computer Lab Acceptable Use Guidelines” in our Parent and Student Handbook. I agree to communicate and use the computers and tablets in a responsible fashion while honoring all relevant rules and restrictions. I understand that the files I store on the school’s network are not my personal property and are open to inspection by school personnel.
