Tuition Assistance: Applications for assistance are accepted each year during open enrollment (end of January-February 28). Families requesting assistance of any amount must complete the on-line application on FACTS and any other grant forms required. Awards are based on a first come, first served and verified need basis for families who are active within the school community (volunteering for lunch/recess duty, giving to #iGiveCatholic day, helping at school and PTO sponsored events, etc.).
AFTERCARE: Our aftercare program is designed to support the needs of our working parents, HTCS students waiting for the Seton bus to bring them back to Seton, and HTCS students who have siblings at Seton Catholic who ride on the Seton bus back to HTCS in the afternoon. Aftercare runs from 3-5:30 PM. All students MUST be out of the building by 5:30 PM. Students not picked up by 5:30 PM will be charged a rate of $1/min for the time spent waiting to be picked up. Repeated late pickups will result in disenrollment from the aftercare program.
HTCS students without siblings at Seton may stay in aftercare for a nominal fee every day, except on half days and days when the school is closed and there is no aftercare. They will have time for homework and will be provided a snack. There are two options available:
~$75/week per student for five days of aftercare service - A reduced rate will be charged for weeks when school is not open all five (5) days.
~$20/day per student for less than five days of aftercare service - Families MUST notify the school by 9 AM on the day of use to allow the school time to ensure space is available and staffing is secured.
HTCS students who use the bus transportation to / from Seton may stay in aftercare for no additional fee until the Seton bus arrives to pick them up and bring them back to Seton. Students will have time for homework, but should bring a snack as one will not be provided for them.
HTCS students waiting for siblings to return from Seton may stay in aftercare for no additional fee until 3:30 PM, except on half days or days when Seton and/or HTCS is closed. They will have time for homework, but should bring a snack as one will not be provided for them. They MUST be picked up by 3:30 PM to avoid the $20/day charge.
Tuition Management Program- FACTS
All tuition and fees will be paid through the FACTS tuition management program found on line at www.factsmgt.com. Parents of new students must register for the program as soon as the new child has been accepted for enrollment at Holy Trinity Catholic School. Parents already enrolled will automatically be re-enrolled each year.
Financial Aid
At Holy Trinity Catholic School, it is our mission to welcome all families who wish for a Catholic education for their children. We never want to turn a family away simply because they may not be able to afford the full tuition. Therefore, we do our best to provide tuition assistance to those families who may need it. Assistance is based on need and is reviewed each year.
