St. Paul Panther Family,
We have had a great beginning of second quarter! I hope many of you are able to come to our awards ceremony on Friday.
As we enter into this quarter, we are also preparing for some students in November who are part of our Irish Traveler community. I wanted to explain this process for our new school families. The Irish Travelers have been a part of St. Paul Parish and School since the 1970s, and they have a cultural way of life that includes traveling for work in different parts of the country. The Irish Travelers live in Memphis from November to May; and from June to October, they ordinarily live in different parts of the country for work. In order to secure their child’s place in the classroom, the Irish Traveler families pay tuition all year long, even during the three months that their children are enrolled in other schools before they arrive at St. Paul in November. I believe that this shows their dedication to St. Paul School, and we look forward to welcoming them back to St Paul School on November 5th.
When the Irish Traveler students arrive, the teachers are ready, and we keep moving the students forward without lessening the academic rigor in the classroom.
God bless you, and be assured of my prayers for you!
In the Peace of Christ,
Sister Mary Lawrence, O.P.
Principal

Tuition and Fees Information
Each year tuition prices are set by St. Paul Parish.
Tuition: In enrolling your child in a Catholic school, you agree to certain important responsibilities. One of these responsibilities is timely tuition payments. School budgets depend on regular tuition payments by the parents or guardians in order to pay for operating expenses.
Delinquent Tuition: PreK families pay weekly. If payments are behind by one week, the family will receive a letter from the School Business Office. The letter will notify parents that their tuition is past due and will request payment by a certain date. The letter will also explain that the child may not return to school if the payment is not paid by that date.
K-8 families pay monthly. If payments are behind by one month, the family will receive a letter from the School Business Office. The letter will notify parents that their tuition is past due and will request payment by a certain date. The letter will also explain that the child may not return to school if the payment is not paid by that date.
Parents are responsible for keeping their accounts current. Student records (including report cards) will not be released, if the parent still has financial obligations owed to the school.
Fees: All fees are nonrefundable.
Textbooks: Students will reimburse the school for loss of or damage to textbooks or electronic equipment.
Returned Checks: A charge is assessed for each insufficient check received. If insufficient checks are received more than twice, all further payments must be made in cash.
Financial assistance is available for qualifying students. Applications are completed through FACTS.
Scholarships, financial awards, and payment plans are confidential and should not be discussed with other St. Paul families. Sharing of confidential information can forfeit your award.
