Tuition Contract (one per family)

    The conditions of this agreement provide protection for our parents, children, and program. It is essential that the financial status of the program be founded on solid ground to ensure our ability to provide the services to which our parents and children have been promised.

    I agree to the following terms of payment:
    • All tuition is due on the first week of each month.
    • For new students, parents will pay the registration fee and first month's tuition using a check. Each subsequent monthly tuition payment will be paid through the Brightwheel website or app using a credit card or ACH automatic funds transfer.
    • For returning students, parents will pay the yearly registration fee with a check, then all other tuition and fees through the Brightwheel website or app using a credit card or ACH automatic funds transfer.
    • Parents agree to pay a 2.9% fee on credit card payments or a $0.60 transaction fee on ACH payments.
    • There is a $10 service charge on tuition fees for which payment is not made as contracted, and a $25 NSF (non-sufficient funds) fee for returned checks.
    • There is a late pick-up charge of $20 per 15 minutes if my child remains at the school past class dismissal time. After a child is picked up late twice, the fee becomes $10 per five minutes.
    • Parents must provide the School Director with two weeks' notice prior to withdrawing a child from Fairlawn Lutheran School. Full tuition is required up until the day of withdrawal.
    • If the School Director determines that a child cannot adjust to the school's program and Code of Behavior, the Director will give parents a two week notice if possible before expecting the child to be withdrawn.
    • If a child's tuition is two weeks in arrears, the child will be dis-enrolled until the debt is paid in full or suitable arrangements have been made by the School Director. (Please let the Director know if there are extenuating circumstances for non-payment.)
