School Policies
Age Criteria
Students must be the age of the designated class by September 1st of the school year. For example, a child turning 3 on August 30 will be in the Three's class; A child turning 3 on September 2 will be in the Two's class.
Immunizations
Children must be up-to-date on all immunizations to be enrolled at St. Francis. There are no exceptions. Parents are asked to keep their student's file updated with any shots received during their enrollment.
Medications
Prescribed medication may be administered with a signed Medication Authorization form, available in the office. The form must be complete and turned in with the medication in its original packaging. Over-the-counter medication will not be allowed without a doctor's authorization. DO NOT SEND MEDICINE to school in a child's backpack.
Late Pick-Up Policies
Dismissal begins at 12:15 for half day students and 2:15 for extended day. Please make every effort to be prompt in picking up your child. Young children become anxious when they are not picked up on time. In the event that an emergency arises that will cause a parent to be late picking up their child, we ask that the parent notify the office as soon as possible. A $1 per minute late fee will be charged if a parent has not arrived by 12:30 half day/ 2:30 extended day pick up time. If the office is NOT notified, the parent may be subject to an additional $25 late fee assessed on top of the $1 per minute late fee rate.
Tuition Payments
Families may setup a payment schedule that best suits them using our financial form. Payments on a monthly schedule will be subject to a late fee of $25 if paid after the 10th of each month. Return checks will be charged a $25 fee.
Early Withdrawal
If a student will no longer be able to attend St. Francis, the school will need 30 days written notice. Parents are responsible for tuition through the 30 day notice period. If a 30 day written notice is not provided, then full tuition payment is required.
Severe Weather
St. Francis follows Temple and Belton public school policies regarding severe weather. If TISD or BISD is closed or delayed, St. Francis will be closed for the day.
