Dear Notre Dame Families:

 

Please register as soon as possible!!!  We are now getting later in the year and it is important to get a read on enrollment for next year so we can start making staffing decisions. All returning families should have recived an e-mail with a link to their personalized registration electronic form.  If you have do not have your regristration link, user ID, or password from last year e-mail  the GRACE office (using your email address from last years registration) at registration@gracesystem.org or call 499-7330 and ask for Donna. Please disregard previous instructions to contact  Facts. The last part of the registration process is to complete the Tuition Agreement.   The Tuition Agreement should be available on the Facts Registration soon.  You will receive an e-mail notification as soon as the Tuition Agreement is available allowing you to complete the registration process.

 

Please mark your calendars!!! Remember that April 5th is an Early Release!!

 

Pre-school families must register on-line Become a Student and complete the form indicating the pre-k/ec program of your choice:Pre-school Programs and Tuition. 

 

If you have questions as you proceed through the registration process do not hesitate to call me on my cell phone # 217-4684. 

 

Tuition for the 2012-2013 school year is $2,150 (plus a $60 registration fee)  Grace will deduct $100 from the tuition invoice for the second, third, and fourth students.  There will be no charge for the fifth student.  Although this is a $150 increase in tuition from last year it is only slightly higher than the tuition rate paid in the 2010-2011 school year (the year before Notre Dame joined Grace)   For comparison, in the 2010-2011 school year tuition was $2,080.  A family of three  would have paid $6,290 vs. $6,430 for a family of three in the 2012-2013 school year.  The increase in tuition for a family of three represents $140 (including registraton fees) over the 2010-2011 school year.

 

You are invited to celebrate your child's artwork and help our school at the same time!!  Click here for our new Square One fundraiser. This fundraiser is available for all ages!!!  Don't miss this, the deadline is March 30Th.
