Request and Release Form for Records

Request for records of students transferring from another school

Dear Principal:

Please send copies of school records, standardized test scores, and health data to Saint Mary Academy for the following student(s). Written permission to release these records has been given, as indicated below.

Bus Application

Saint Mary Academy contracts with Miller Transportation to provide safe, reliable and cost-effective bus transportation for our students.

In order to reserve a spot on the bus for your child(ren) for the 2018 – 2019 school year, please complete this form. A $50 non-refundable fee will be removed from your FACTS account for bus registration. For the 2018-2019 school year, we have opted to lower bus transportation fees to families rather than issue subsidy refund checks. Service will be provided on a first come, first served basis. The annual bus transporation cost is as follows:

1 child - $400 2 children - $600 3 children - $800

As you can imagine, there are a number of factors to consider when establishing routes and stops and we rely on officials at Miller Transportation to assist us with this matter. While we try our very best to accommodate as many families as possible, bus transportation is not guaranteed for everyone who requests it. Final routes and pick-up and drop-off times will be determined by Miller Transportation.

If you are interested in bus transporation for your child(ren) for next year, please complete the nexessary information below.

After-School Care Information

$50.00 Registration fee per family

If you would like your child(ren) to participate in the After School Care program for the 17 - 18 school year, please complete a registration form for each child and return to the school office along with a $50 registration fee per family by August 1, 2017.

The monthly rates listed below are based on an annual fee divided into ten equal payments from August-May. Please note that after school care is available when there is an 11:30 dismissal, but not when school is not in session. If you have multiple children who will be attending after school care, you must complete a registration form for each child.

Please note that we are offering full-time and part-time options only this year. Due to State regulations regarding staffing levels for After School Care, we are no longer able to offer the drop-in option.

1-3 Days per week (monthly payment):

1 Child - $150.00 2 Children - $275.00 3 Children - $400.00

4-5 Days per week (monthly payment):

1 Child - $240.00 2 Children - $440.00 3 Children - $640.00

Payments must be made through our new FACTS system online. Through the FACTS system, you will be able to choose the 5th or the 20th of the month for your monthly payment, or split it into two payments, one on the 5th and one on the 20th.

Hours of operation are 2:30PM-6:00PM for both preschool and K-8. Please note, there is a $1.00 per minute charge for children that are picked up AFTER 6:00PM. The fee will be charged to you in FACTS.

At the end of the year, After School Care statements will be sent to each family. The amount paid may be an allowable deduction on your taxes.

If you have any questions regarding After School Care, please contact Shirley Anderson at (502) 315-2557.

SMA School officials must also be informed of any testing for Learning Differences by any public or private school system or any private agency. Copies of testing reports are required to be considered for acceptance. Saint Mary Academy has the right and obligation to decide if its program will best meet an individual child's learning needs. We also ask that the Parent/Guardians inform Saint Mary Academy officials of their child's special academic, emotional, or physical needs.

Students who are admitted to Saint Mary Academy will be accepted on a probationary basis for a period of one year. Regular assessments will determine if the student is making satisfactory academic, behavioral and social adjustment.

We, the family, have read and understand the above. We understand that admission is conditional upon providing the required documents and acceptance is not implied.
