Payment Options
Each family is required to have a FACTS tuition agreement account with the school, unless you are paying tuition in full by July 12th. You have the choice of having an automatic withdraw on checking, savings or credit card. . A 4% discount will be given off total tuition if invoice is paid in full by July 12th (If you choose to use credit card for either payment option, there will be a 2.5% convenience fee on total charges).
Mandatory Giving Options
All families are required to sign up for a Mandatory Giving Option. Mandatory Giving Options are for the 2012-2013 school year and will be the following:
- Commit to 20 hours of volunteer time
- Commit to purchase $2,500 of SCRIP
- Pay a $200 buy-out fee
Financial Assistance
If applying for Financial Aid, know that ALL families are required to fill out a FACTS Financial Aid application. At FPCS we partner with a company called FACTS to process your financial assistance request. The forms must be completed and mailed to FACTS; there is also a small fee to be paid by the family to FACTS. Your application must be postmarked by the deadline on your packet (February 3rd, 2012). Applications are available in the school office starting in January.
Receipt for Payment
Some parents need a receipt for payment of childcare costs for tax purposes or dependent daycare expense accounts. If you need a one time only receipt, or a copy of a invoice or statement, we ask that you give us 5 working days notice to generate it and return it to you. Due to a small staff and limited time, hand-written receipts will be generated only for cash payments. If the receipt that FPCS provides does not meet the requirements that your reimbursement plan mandates, we will be happy to sign any pre-printed form that accurately reflects your payment status.
