Families will be able to pay their tuition in one of (4) four ways: 1. Payment in full - This payment is made directly to the school and will entitle you to a $50.00 discount. Must be paid by July 10th or you will be on the FACTS as of July 20th. 2. Semester plan - FACTS, July/January. Two payments to be made on July 10th and January 10th. You will be entitled to a $35.00 discount. 3. Monthly Payment Through FACTS - over a period of 10 months. 4. Credit Card option - a nominal convenient fee charged to parents each month. A brochure providing additional information on the FACTS program can be obtained at the school office. FACTS is an automated bank payment plan. It in no way gies the school or the company any knowledge or direct access to your account. In the event you do not have a bank account, most local banks are happy to open a custodial savings account. These are opened in the student's name and require no minimum balance and incur no monthly charges. Presently, FACTS is being used by a number of schools in the area. The tuition for the school year will be set by March of the preceding year. The Families in the school will be allowed a discount for multiple children in grades one through eight. There is no family tuition discount applicable to the pre-kindergarten or kindergarten program. Each family will be required to execute a tuition payment contract in April of the preceding school year. *In-Parish tuition rates apply to parents/guardians who actively attend mass and use their envelopes. Tuition payments are non-refundable for any reason including the absence, withdrawal, suspension or dismissal of the student. If this action results in the remaining students at St. Jane Frances, then the discounts due to more than on child does not apply and the family would be expected to pay the higher tuition. The school may withhold participation at graduation, report cards, field activities or any other event sponsored by the school, and/or transcripts for any student whose account including tuition, book bills, day care, or any other fees whatsoever, is delinquent or in arrears. The school has the right to refuse to accept the registration of members of any family who are delinquent in financial matters. Book fees are non-refundable and are set by March of the preceding year and are due in full on July 10, for the school year beginning the following September. Book or other fees may be included in the FACTS payment. Checks returned by the bank for any reason are subject to a $25.00 processing fee. The school at its discretion may require the family to make future payments by cash, money order, or bank check. Students, if accepted for admission, will be admitted to St. Jane Frances School in the following order of priority: (1) children being readmitted to St. Jane Frances: (2) siblings of children, in good standing, whose families are members of St. Jane Frances de Chantal Church and currently enrolled in St. Jane Frances: (3) children of full-time faculty members; (4) children of a St. Jane Frances parishioner; (5) Catholic children; (6) siblings of non-Catholic children currently enrolled in St. Jane Frances; (7) open enrollment. As members of the school community, all students are expected to participate actively in religious classes, liturgical celebrations, class projects and related assemblies.

Children enrolled in and needing the Extended Day Care Program provided by St. Jane Frances School on a daily basis will be given, if possible, time preference (a.m. or p.m.) for the Kindergarten program. Extended Day Care - 410-437-8353 School - 410-255-4750 ADMISSION POLICIES Kindergarten students receive the Early Prevention of School Failure Screening in order to evaluate their strengths and weaknesses.
