Pre-Registration News

I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to a second open house on Wednesday, February 1 from 7:30 A.M. until 7:00 P.M. Registration for the 2012-13 school year will begin on this day and run until February 17.
Pre-registration requires a $50.00 non-refundable fee per child and a $100.00 book fee deposit. The balance of the book fees will be paid at the August registration. You will need to bring general family information (name, address, phone, email address, & emergency numbers), certified proof of birth, social security number, and Baptism certificate if Catholic.
All new families to St. Nicholas are eligible to receive a “welcome rate” during their first year. This is the rate that active parishioners at our four founding parishes pay. St. Nicholas is the largest recipient of financial aid from both the Catholic Education Foundation and from School Choice Scholarships. An application packet for each of these opportunities is available in the school office; the deadline for submission for both sets of financial aid is February 29.
We hope that you seriously consider St. Nicholas when you choose a school for your child. We would be happy to work with you to help your child grow spiritually, academically, emotionally, and physically. I hope to see you again on February 1.
Sincerely,

Mrs. Kathy DeLozier, principal
St. Nicholas Academy
