Assessment FAQ'sFrequently Asked Questions About Assessment!
WHAT IS THE ASSESSMENT FEE AND WHY IS IT SEPARATE FROM THE TUITION I PAY? The Diocese of Pittsburgh mandated that each Catholic School must raise 10% of the yearly school budget through fundraising. St. Mary’s School has chosen to satisfy much of this requirement by assessing each school family an Assessment Fee in addition to fundraisers held throughout the year. The Assessment Fee is separate from tuition because it is based per family; it is not based on the number of children in each family, as tuition is. This Assessment Fee is MANDATORY. The Assessment Fee for the 2009-2010 school year is $500.00. This fee may be paid by cash, check, and/or by participating in the Scrip Program. The 2009-2010 Assessment Program begins March 1, 2009 and ends February 28, 2010. HOW DOES THE SCRIP PROGRAM WORK? St. Mary’s School purchases gift certificates from vendors at a discount and makes them available for purchase at face value to school families. Ex. SMS purchases a $100 Giant Eagle gift card for $96.00; the purchasing family pays $100 and is credited the $4.00 difference. The card can be used to purchase $100 worth of goods at Giant Eagle. Each purchase made is credited to a designated school family. Assessment credit can also be earned by selling Entertainment Books, participating in special events throughout the school year, working at lunchtime in the school cafeteria or as a playground monitor. You can even go on-line and earn Assessment credit for your purchases.
HOW DO I KEEP TRACK OF MY ASSESSMENT ACCOUNT? WHAT IF I GO OVER MY ASSESSMENT GOAL? Any money credited to your account above the $500.00 Assessment Fee is “split.” Half of the remaining money stays in the Assessment Program; the other half is yours to be credited either to next year’s tuition or Assessment Fee. Scrip can be purchased in the following ways:
