Seton Catholic Schools is excited to announce that we will be using a Continuous Enrollment model in place of our yearly re-enrollment model that we have used in the past. This model will mean that parents will no longer need to review, sign and submit a Re-enrollment and Tuition Management Contract every year. You will sign the Continuous Enrollment Contract this spring which will renew annually until your child graduates, or you Opt-Out.
 
 
Frequently asked questions
 
Why is Seton Catholic moving to Continuous Enrollment?
 
We recognize that the majority of our families typically keep their children enrolled at Seton Catholic from one year to the next. Continuous Enrollment makes ongoing enrollment easier. Parents sign the Enrollment and Tuition Management Contract once, and don’t have to worry about it again!
 
What is the difference between the old Re-enrollment process and the new Continuous Enrollment process?
 
In the past, parents had to review, sign and submit a Re-Enrollment and Tuition Management contract every spring. With the new Continuous Enrollment, parents will review, sign and submit a contract one time - then that contract will auto-renew every year until graduation or until the parents inform Seton Catholic in writing that they want to Opt-Out.
 
What if we decide we no longer want to be enrolled at Seton Catholic?
 
Each year, parents will have an Opt-Out period in the spring. If you don’t want your child to be enrolled for the upcoming school year, you simply notify us in writing. You can either click on the “will not re-enroll” option in ParentsWeb, or email lwestjohn@setonschools.org
 
Will we still have to pay a re-enrollment fee every year?
 
Yes, the re-enrollment fee is a part of the tuition and fees structure at Seton Catholic. It is a small down-payment on your tuition that lets us know you are planning to have your child return, and that you did not miss the Opt-Out period. In effect, it reserves your child’s seat for the upcoming school year.
 
What if we don’t Opt-Out in writing, but we also don’t submit our re-enrollment fee by the deadline?
 
Seats not secured by the re-enrollment fee will potentially be offered to new students. Acceptance notifications are being sent during the same time period as the Opt-Out period. Please notify the enrollment coordinator at lwestjohn@setonschools.org prior to the deadline if financial hardship makes submitting the re-enrollment fee problematic.  
 
Will there still be other forms (health forms, transportation forms, aftercare forms etc.) that need to be completed every year?
 
Yes, if a student attends Seton Catholic from preschool through graduation, they are with us for 15 years. We expect that you will need the opportunity to update information so that we can take the best care possible of your child while they are with us. We will need the forms submitted annually to make sure everything is up to date.
 
What if I don’t Opt-Out before the deadline, but decide later to withdraw?
 
If you choose to withdraw after the Opt-Out deadline, you will be assessed a fee of 10% of the upcoming school year’s tuition. Exceptions will be made for families that move 25 miles or further from the school, or for students that Seton Catholic and the parents feel would be better served at another school.
