Fw: Important Message from Dr. Chivalette (Jan. 18, 2017)


MESSAGE FROM DR. CHIVALETTE


January 18, 2017
 
Dear CCS Families,
 
I wanted to follow-up on the tuition information which was forwarded to each CCS family last week.  It is important to note that Calvary Christian School is not planning on closing at the end of the current year.  On the contrary, the purpose and goal of the Board of Governance and Calvary Evangelical Lutheran Church is to continue to support Calvary Christian School as its primary outreach ministry.  Your commitment to CCS is needed in order for the school to plan effectively.
 
One of the plans for next year is to offer a TK (transitional kindergarten).  A second plan is to provide new K-8 textbooks for Language Arts.  A final plan is to see if there is a genuine interest in offering an athletic program for both elementary and middle school. 
 
Current CCS family reenrollment:  2017-2018
 
Annual tuition increases for 2017-2018:  $500 (first child); $300 (second child);       $200 (third child)
 
Re-enrollment time table:

  •  February 10:  end of first period for reenrollment allowing parents to pay $250 registration fee per child
  •  February 11 – February 28:  Registration fee increases to $275 per child
  •  March 1 – 17:  Registration fee increases to $300 per child
  •  After March 18 - 31:  Registration fee increases to $325 per child
