j. Withdrawal Process

A thirty (30) day written notice must be given to avoid incurring tuition fees past the date you plan to withdraw your child. You must complete the Withdrawal Notice Form or send an email to director@hscda.ptdiocese.org for the thirty (30) day notices to be valid. The Withdrawal Notice Form is available at the Holy Spirit Child Development Academy Office. Other notifications, such as verbal communication with a staff member, will not be considered valid notices. Once a Withdrawal Notice Form has been submitted, changes to an earlier date will not be accepted. Failure to give the required thirty (30) day notice will result in monetary charges for a full month’s tuition, irrespective of whether the child attends or not. This allows the Academy adequate time to prepare for the child’s departure from the Academy and a new family adequate time to enroll.

Once a child is officially enrolled in the Academy, families will be required to give a thirty (30) day notice and pay any associated fees regardless of whether the child has attended the Academy or not (e.g., a child enrolled for the upcoming school year).

 

i. Final Tuition Payment

Parents on a monthly billing plan are required to pay the full monthly rate if their child attends past the 18th of the month. This includes notices given for the end of our academic school year in May.

Parents on a monthly billing plan who withdraw their child before the 18th of the month or on a bi-weekly plan are required to pay full tuition for the last week their child attends, regardless of when their 30-day withdrawal notice ends. For example, if a child’s last day is on a Tuesday, they are still required to pay the full tuition rate for the entire week.
