Key Clarifications for Contributing Family Tuition & FAQ’s

Who qualifies as a Contributing Family?

Families who donate at least the annual minimum amount to the Sunday General Offertory—via envelopes or electronic giving—between January 1 and December 31 of the calendar year qualify for the contributing family tuition rate for the following school year.

What types of donations count?

Only Sunday General Offertory contributions apply toward the $278 requirement. Donations to special collections—such as SVDP, the Lenten Project, feast days, Good Friday, and Christmas—do not count towards the minimum contribution.

When is the donation deadline?

To ensure timely credits, all check-based offertory donations must be postmarked or delivered by December 15 of the calendar year. Electronic donations via, Faith Direct are accepted through December 31.

Checks received after December 15 will count toward the next calendar year, potentially affecting your tuition status.

Are automatic electronic donations recommended?

Yes—Faith Direct is highly recommended to ensure your contributions count without last-minute delays.

What if we’re registered at another Catholic parish? You may still qualify by either:

Donating the minimum directly to Immaculate Conception of Dardenne (ICD) Parish
Arranging for your home parish to donate the minimum on your behalf to ICD Parish.

What about non-Catholic families?

Non-Catholic families are eligible for the contributing family tuition rate by donating at least $278 to ICD Parish’s Sunday General Offertory.

What if a Catholic family can’t afford to give $278?

Catholic families facing financial hardship are encouraged to contact Msgr. Ted Wojicicki to discuss their situation and receive further guidance.

Families New to ICD School

Families of students entering ICD School for the first time will initially be considered “contributing families.” This would apply to families with the oldest or only child entering Kindergarten or those who transfer into ICD School in grades 1st through 8th.

Within this first year of enrollment at ICD school, we ask that these families register with the parish, receive church envelopes or enroll in electronic giving, and begin contributing regularly and consistently with contributions totaling the minimum amount per calendar year to the parish offertory. To continue receiving subsidized tuition for the second year of enrollment, parish offertory contributions will need to total the minimum amount as set by the pastor by December 31. If contributions do not meet the minimum offertory amount by December 31, families in their first year of enrollment will be considered "non-contributing" at the time of registration for their second year of enrollment.

Note on Tuition and Fee Payments

ICD does not accept tuition payments in check form. This includes checks written directly on 529 accounts or personal checking accounts. Families must make tuition payments through an automatic bank withdrawal processed by FACTS Tuition Management.

ICD does not accept registration fees or HSO obligation payments in check form. Families are required to make fee and obligation payments through an online payment portal.

Registration Fees

Students entering the school at any point in the school year after the first day of school pay $250.00 per child or $750.00 for parents registering 3 or more children. This amount does not prorate.
This once-a-year fee helps to cover costs associated with preparing for the start of the school year, such as textbooks and classroom supplies.
Families withdrawing on or before June 30 will receive a partial ($100) refund of the registration fee(s). Families withdrawing on or after July 1 are not eligible for a refund of the registration fee(s).

Home & School Organization Obligation

The ICD HSO exists to provide four main components: communication between parents and school, support for educational programs, financial support for needed expenses not included in the school’s budget, and a sense of community through HSO-sponsored events and activities.

HSO Per Family Financial Obligations - Earning your HSO Obligations & Possible Tuition Credits

HSO Per Family Financial Obligations

For the 2025-2026 school year, the financial obligation for each ICD family in Kindergarten through eighth grade, with or without a preschool student, will be $165.00, and each family enrolling in the preschool only will have a $60.00 HSO Obligation.

As members of the HSO, each school family will be required, through SCRIP rebates or buy-out options, to contribute this amount to support the organization. $165.00 or $60.00 respectively, less SCRIP earnings, will be invoiced the first week of March. The invoices will be due upon receipt, and your registration for the next school year will not be considered complete until your invoice is paid.

The HSO obligation funds our teacher appreciation program, school-sponsored events, a donation to the ICD Parish Auction, and teacher grants, along with helping to fund recess equipment and supervision. If there are circumstances that make this obligation difficult, please call the Principal to confidentially discuss your situation. The HSO Financial Obligation is not considered a charitable contribution by Immaculate Conception Catholic Church and School.

For early withdrawals or late enrollments, the required $165.00/$60.00 HSO Obligation will be prorated based on the number of days a family is in attendance at ICD. We encourage you to contact the HSO with any questions. Inquiries can be directed to the HSO committee at [email protected].

Obligation Earning and Payment Options

HSO Obligation funds can be generated via the options listed here, or a combination of the two. Invoices with HSO Obligation Balances, less any rebates earned, will be invoiced directly from My School Bucks by the end of March. Payment will be due April 30. Any unpaid HSO Obligations will be added to your FACTS account.

SCRIP REBATES

ICD offers a SCRIP fundraising program. ICD purchases store shopping cards at a discounted rate. We sell these cards to our families at face value and keep the difference as profit. As these shopping cards are purchased through ICD, each family’s share of these profits is recorded using the www.shopwithSCRIP.com website.

For example—you purchase a $100 Dierberg’s gift card and receive a rebate of 4%—$4.00 is credited to your family account. The percentage earned varies with each vendor (1.5% to 25%). All existing and new families may begin earning towards their obligation from March 1, through February 28.

More information on the SCRIP program is available from our SCRIP Coordinator. Please email [email protected].

PAYMENT OPTION

The HSO will accept $165.00/$60.00 as a “buyout”, payable at the time of Registration. This can be paid for within your registration forms.

COMBINATION

Families earning rebates throughout the earning period that total less than $165.00/$60.00 can make a payment of the difference. Rebates will be added up and deducted from your final invoice. Invoices with HSO obligation balances, less any rebates earned, will be emailed the first week of March directly from My School Bucks. Payment will be due April 30. Any unpaid HSO Obligations will be added to your FACTS account.

DIVORCED OR SEPARATED PARENTS SPLITTING THE HSO OBLIGATION

If divorced or separated parents split their HSO Obligation 50%/50%, the amounts owed are $82.50/$30.00 per household. Divorced parents do not have to select the same payment option, as their SCRIP rebate earnings can be kept separate.

Earn a Tuition Discount

For families with only Preschool students:

You begin earning rebates on March 1st. If a $100 minimum rebate earning is met, 50% of all rebates over and above the $60.00 HSO obligation will be deducted from your next year’s tuition.

Example A: earned SCRIP rebates totaling $500 between March 1 and February 28 will fulfill your $60.00 obligation and earn a $220.00 credit towards tuition in your FACTS account.

Example B: earned SCRIP rebates totaling $80 between March 1 and February 28 will fulfill your $60.00 obligation. No tuition credits earned.

For families with K-8 only or K-8 and Preschool students:

You begin earning rebates on March 1st. If a $200 minimum rebate is met, 50% of all rebates over and above the $165.00 HSO obligation will be deducted from your next year’s tuition.

Example A: earned SCRIP rebates totaling $500 between March 1 and February 28 will fulfill your $165.00 and earn a $167.50 credit towards tuition in your FACTS account.

Example B: earned SCRIP rebates totaling $175 between March 1 and February 28 will fulfill your $165.00 obligation. No tuition credits earned.

HSO Obligations and SCRIP rebate earnings can be confusing. We encourage you to reach out to [email protected] for clarification. Earning your obligation can keep money in your pocket, and we are happy to help you do so!
