The Saint Simon parish Pastoral Council has assigned the Stewardship Committee with the responsibility of determining whether school applicants and current school families should be assigned (1) Active Parishioner status or (2) Non-Active parishioner status.

This status assignment will impact priority of placement for school applicants and school tuition rate for school families. Active Parishioner Status entitles school families to pay a lower tuition rate than non-active parishioners. The tuition rate is set by the School Commission and is not a function of the Stewardship Committee.

The 2008– 2009 school year single child tuition rates are:

Active Parishioner Rate $4,213
Non-active Parishioner Rate $6,996

The extended tuition rates for 2008 – 2009 can be obtained by clicking here.

The following guidelines will be used by the Stewardship Committee to determine school applicant and school family status for the 2008-2009 school year:

Each guideline must be met for a family to qualify for Active Parishioner Status.

It is acknowledged by the Pastoral Council, the School Commission and the Stewardship Committee, that individual circumstances may limit a family’s ability to participate fully in the guidelines laid out for qualification for active parishioner status and the resulting lower school tuition rates.

Consideration will be given in these circumstances, but consideration must be requested.
