MLK Day- No School
Automatic Re-Enrollment
For the convenience of our families, DeSales will do automatic re-enrollment for the 2022-2023 school-year. Automatic re-enrollment means that once a student attends DeSales Catholic School, enrollment will automatically renew each year until your child graduates from 8th grade. Re-enrollment is assumed unless you notify the school by Friday, February 18, 2022 that you will not be returning for the 2022-2023 academic year. The purpose of this new policy is to make it as easy as possible for our families who re-enroll each year.
The annual re-enrollment fee of $75 per student will be withdrawn from the same account as your tuition withdrawal. You will have the choice to pay the fee on February 25th or March 4th. If your family pays tuition in full, you will receive an invoice early February for your re-registration fee. After March 4th, the registration fee increases to $100 per student.
Students not returning to DeSales for the 2022-2023 school-year must notify the Business Office in writing of that intent by February 18th to avoid the automatic withdrawal of re-enrollment fees. Families in need of an extension are asked to contact the Business Office.
In mid-January, you will be emailed a link where you will be able to confirm your child’s grade and which of the two dates you prefer to have the re-registration fees withdrawn on.
