What is Continuous Enrollment? Continuous enrollment is a straight forward concept that other schools around the nation have been using to streamline the re-enrollment process. Here at Mother of Divine Grace Interparochial Catholic School, continuous enrollment assumes that once a student is enrolled at Mother of Divine Grace Interparochial Catholic School, the student will continue his/her education at Mother of Divine Grace Interparochial Catholic School until graduation from eighth grade unless the School is notified otherwise.
 
Why Continuous Enrollment? The majority of the children who are enrolled at MDG will graduate from MDG. And so in light of this situation, the question arises, why ask families to complete reenrollment paper work year after year? By moving to continuous enrollment, we hope to eliminate now and in the future, the paperwork and steps required by our parents each year as part of the enrollment process. The continuous enrollment system will simplify the process for our families and allow the School to maximize its resources and more wisely use the parents’ tuition dollars.
 
How does it work? For next school year (2024-2025), we are asking parents to read the Terms and Conditions of the Continuous Enrollment Agreement and indicate their agreement with their signature. Next year and every year thereafter, parents will not need to do or sign anything. A communication will be sent by the Main Office reminding families of continuous enrollment and the Opt-Out process. The only time, a parent will need to complete paperwork is, if for personal reasons, the students will not be returning to school, for instance, if a family is moving. The Opt-Out form to notify the School can be found on our website. Most of our families will have the convenience of ignoring this message and doing absolutely nothing. It will be that simple.
 
What is the deadline for letting MDG know that a student will not be re-enrolling for 2024-2025?
Parents are asked to please let the School know that the student will not be re-enrolling by completing the Opt- Out form which is available on our School website under Admissions by April 14, 2024. 
 
 
I have questions who can I contact? If a parent has additional questions after reading the FAQs, please email Mrs. Jane White Lockhart, our principal , at [email protected] . If you have a question regarding your tuition account, please contact our tuition manager, at tuition@motherdivinegrace.com
 
What do I need to do to sign up for continuous enrollment? There is a link on our website under Admissions titled Continuous Enrollment. Read over the Form, sign and submit.
 
Is there a deadline to sign up for continuous enrollment? Yes, the parents’ Agreement is to be submitted to the School by April 14, 2024.
 
What is the re-registration fee for the 2024-2025 school year? There is no re  registration fee, it is included in your tuition rates.  This change in the collection of the re-registration fee will also help simplify the process. There will no longer be a need to send in a separate re-registration check each year since it will be included in your monthly tuition bill.
 
How will the (continuous) re-enrollment fee be processed? For 2024-2025 school year, the fee will now be incorporated into the Tuition Rate Schedule. The fee will be pulled directly from your FACTS account, on a monthly basis, as part of the normal tuition pull.
 
How will I be notified what the tuition is going to be for future years? Tuition rates will be communicated through the School’s website. Tuition rates for the following school year are determined by the Board of Limited Jurisdiction by mid-January. The new tuition rates will be posted to the School’s website and a text message will be sent notifying families when the new Tuition Rates are posted.
 
When can I apply for tuition assistance? Most financial aid applications are administered through an online application process using FACTS Grant & Aid starting in October or November of each year. There is an application fee charged by FACTS for processing and verifying an application for aid.
 
I will be applying for tuition assistance, what if I do not know what my tuition will be? Since financial aid grants are awarded in the Summer months  all families are required to continue to make the same monthly tuition payment  that you have been making for the 2024-2025 school year. Once the school is made aware of  the financial aid grants that students will be  receiving, the families’ monthly tuition payments will be corrected.
 
What do I need to do if I am enrolling an additional child? If a current school family is enrolling a new student, the parent is to complete an application for that child. The Form can be found on the School website at motherdivinegrace.com. under the Admissions Tab. The parent will only need to complete and return the Form to the School. No additional fee will be required.
