Continuous Enrollment
A friendly reminder that our school has ContinuousEnrollment. Continuous Enrollment eliminates the need for re-enrollment each year. Please see the details below regarding the enrollment fee for the 25-26 school year. In addition, please help us keep your demographic information current in the FACTS family portal.
|
Re-Enrollment Fee for the 25-26 School Year
The re-enrollment fee is $600 per student. The fee is non-refundable and is used for books, curriculum, and technology. Paying the re-enrollment fee secures a spot for your child for the next school year. The re-enrollment fee is collected in one installment due in January. If your incidental billing is on auto pay, the fee will be automatically deducted on the due date. If not, you must log into your FACTS account to pay the fee.
We kindly remind families who will not be returning to notify us at least one week before the re-enrollment fee is due. Families that notify us after are responsible for the non-refundable $600 re-enrollment fee and potentially the first month of the next year’s tuition. To notify us, please email Mrs. DeMicheli here.
We appreciate your continued support and partnership in ensuring a successful academic year for your child. If you have any questions or concerns about the re-enrollment process, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Mrs. DeMicheli.

Give the Gift of Peace This Christmas - Gifts for children at the Pasco Family Shelter
We are excited to announce our annual school-wide service project "Give the Gift of Peace this Christmas! Through this project, our students fundraise so that we can purchase Christmas presents for children that will be spending Christmas in a shelter.
The goal of the project is to teach our students the value of hands-on service to the less fortunate. This is a challenge for young students who are not able to do service at facilities not appropriate for their age. That is why we ask students to do acts of service at home to raise money to donate towards the cost of the presents.
From Friday, November 1st through Friday, December 6th, we are asking students to perform acts of service at home. Children can help out at home, help Grandma, Grandpa, neighbors, or family friends. Some ideas are cleaning around the house, raking leaves, putting away/out decorations, or helping with a household project (age appropriate). For example: I ask my son, age 10, to sweep the patio and driveway. I will pay him $10.00 to do this.
We have created tickets to help students keep track of their service. Tickets and funds raised should be turned into your child's teacher anytime between November 1st and December 6th. You will find the tickets here. Please feel free to cut out and use as many as you wish. Click Here to View Flyer.
We understand that some parents may not want to track the service tickets and that is fine. We also welcome direct donations towards this meaningful cause. Feel free to make your donations online here or send cash/checks in with your child. Checks should be made out to MTC.
Thank you for your support! We look forward to working with you this Christmas to bring PEACE AND LOVE to the families and children living in the shelter.
