Eighth Grade tuition now includes the Graduation and Class Trip Fees. Everyone’s tuition now includes a yearbook. Tuition will be paid either in a lump sum before the first day of school or through our tuition collection service SMART over 10 months. Please contact the school office as soon as possible if you wish to make any changes with your SMART account for next year.

SMART payments will begin on July 20th and will end on April 20th, which will amount to 10 equal monthly installments auto-debited from the account specified by you on your SMART
enrollment form. SMART Forms are due in the school office no later than May 15th. If you have not submitted a SMART form along with a voided or cancelled check by May 15th, the administration will assume that you intend to pay the tuition and book bills in full before the first
day of school.

Catholic tuition applies to families who have received a signed Parish Verification Form from their church stating that they are active members of their parish. The Parish Verification form must be on file in the school office of St. Thomas More School no later than June 1st in order
to receive the Catholic tuition rate. If the form is not on file in the school office by the June 1st deadline, the family will be charged the Non-Catholic tuition rate for each child for the upcoming school year and adjustments will NOT be made to the tuition rate during the school year. Non-Catholic tuition is based on the actual unsubsidized costs. Tuition is reduced by $50.00 per student if tuition is paid in full before the start of school.

All families are expected to make prompt payment of tuition and fees in accordance with the procedure and schedule approved by the St. Thomas More Parish Board of Education and published by the Principal.

Any family whose tuition account shows an outstanding balance at the end of the academic year will not be eligible for reenrollment for the next school year. ALL Eighth Grade students must have all fees paid by May 1st in order to graduate.
