All school families are asked to make arrangements within the first week of school for which payment plan they wish to use:
Option I : In Full – Payment of all fees by the first day of school.

ACTIVE PRACTICING CATHOLICS
Tuition will be set for each school year. School families are expected to be active in all areas of stewardship in their parishes. Tithing is strongly recommended at a minimum of $25.00 per week to the parish, keeping in mind that the parish is assisting to keep the cost of Catholic education affordable.
School families who are not members of St. Vincent de Paul Parish will have their respective pastors contacted for support of educating their parishioners in our school. However, if the supporting pastor declines parish support, wholly or in part, it becomes the responsibility of the family to make up the difference in addition to all tuition and fees.
NON-CATHOLICS
Families are subject to tuition, school fees and current rate per child for cost of education.
All tuition and fees must be paid in total by the last day of school. St. Vincent de Paul School depends on the payment of all tuition and fees to pay its expenses and salaries. School tuition and fees must be paid in full by the last day of the school year. Amounts not paid are subject to possible legal action. Where unexpected difficulties arise, arrangements must be made with the Chief Administrative Officer (pastor). Families in hardship or distress are encouraged to apply for the Good Shepherd Scholarship and/or the Guardian Angel Scholarship.
