We have made great strides over the last several years as we transitioned from a multitude of handwritten paper forms to electronic forms. Now we are ready to begin the next evolution in our re-enrollment process.

Our retention rate averages about 95% each year, which shows that the majority of our families intend to have their children graduate from Nativity Catholic School. With that in mind, beginning in late January, we are shifting to Continuous Enrollment. Simply put - your student(s) will be automatically enrolled each year until you choose to withdraw. 

Another important change that coincides with our new Continuous Enrollment process, is our new billing cycles. For families on our: 

  • Semi-annual payment plan: We have traditionally invoiced families for the following school year each May and November. Going forward, the first payment for the school year will be in April and the second in October. 
  • Monthly tuition payment plan: We have traditionally invoiced families for the following school year beginning in May and ending in February (10 months of payments). Going forward, the first payment will begin in April and conclude in January. 
  • Annual payment plan: We have traditionally invoiced families for the following school year each May. Going forward, invoicing will now occur in April.

What is re-enrollment?

Re-enrollment is the annual data collection process that we use to update enrollment records. This information is used as we make plans for the following school year.

Basically, the simple question is: “Are you coming back to NCS next year?” Our leadership team needs to know how many students we will have on the first day of school the following year.

Our leadership team does a lot of planning to ensure that we’re prepared to fulfill our mission to the best of our abilities every year. Until NCS families “sign on the line” that they’re coming back each year, we can’t make solid plans for staffing, programs, materials, curriculum, and facility usage. We take the stewardship of tuition dollars entrusted to us every year very seriously. We want to invest these tuition dollars wisely so that we can provide the best education possible for our students.

Do I have to complete the form if I have no intention of leaving NCS?

Yes. The Continuous Enrollment form will be sent in late January. You must complete the form by 8am on Monday, February 15, 2021. 

Up until this school year, re-enrollment has been an “opt-in” program. Each year, we ask our families if they are returning the following school year. In a sense, we’ve been inconveniencing the vast majority of families by forcing everyone to go through this process each year. 

By completing our Continuous Enrollment contract this year, you will be flipping that script. Rather than opting in each year, our annual re-enrollment will become an OPT-OUT process. In other words, if you’re coming back after signing your Continuous Enrollment Contract, you’ll never have to worry about this again!

What will re-enrollment look like after this year?

Once all of our families have completed the Continuous Enrollment form, a communication will be sent each January reminding families to notify us and complete a withdrawal form before mid-February if they will not be returning the following school year.
