The School Advisory Board has met to discuss school fees for next year. Our school tuition will be increasing by 3% next year.

Admission priority to Holy Spirit School is given to students currently enrolled in the school before all others. We will then consider any siblings of current students and then students whose family is contributing to Holy Spirit Church. We request that all families attend Mass on a weekly basis and donate a minimum of $20 per week throughout the year.

Registration is open to current students from January 4 until January 31, 2018. Final acceptance for enrollment for next school year is contingent upon the child successfully completing the previous grade requirements, and having received all required health vaccinations. Beginning February 1, 2018, applications will be accepted from other contributing parishioners of Holy Spirit Church. Other applicants will have their Inquiry Forms considered beginning February 16, 2018.

For students new to our school, an Inquiry Form must be submitted along with supporting documentation: copies of the child’s birth certificate and baptismal certificate, Social Security card (optional), most recent Report Card (for students applying to Grades 1 or higher), most recent standardized test scores (for students applying to Grades 3 or higher), and documentation of parental custody, if applicable. Inquiry Forms are available at www.hscatholicschool.com

Age requirements: The schools of the Diocese of St. Augustine adhere to the state of Florida school age requirements which states that Pre-K students must be 4 years old on or before Sept 1, 2018 and Kindergarten children must be 5 years old on or before Sept. 1, 2018 and First grade children must be 6 years old on or before Sept. 1, 2018.

The registration fee of $150 for one child ($175 for two, $200 for three, and $225 for four) is due at the time the application is submitted for all returning students. Registration fees will have a $20 late fee added for current students who do not pay before Feb 16, 2018. Registration fees and textbook fees are NOT refundable. A Technology fee of $80 per family and Membership dues of $50 for our Home and School Association (H.S.A.) are also required and due before August 30, 2018.

4 Year-old Pre-Kindergarten Program

Our Pre-K program is open to children who are at least 4 years old on or before September 1, 2018 and who are completely “potty-trained”. The program runs from 8:25 AM until 11:30 five days a week.
The cost is $295 per month plus a one-time supply fee of $150 and a non-refundable registration fee of $100. All of these fees are paid for by the state of Florida if parents register for the Voluntary Pre-K program. There will be an additional monthly charge of $190 for any Pre-K children who need to remain at the school after the regular three-hour program ends at 11:30.
