Every year St. Pius X Regional School must receive an updated pastoral recommendation from your Church for you to receive the Catholic Tuition Rate. It is your responsibility to obtain the pastoral recommendation and supply it to the school. This form MUST be received by May 15, 2025 in order to receive the Catholic Rate. If the Pastoral Agreement is received after the tuition agreement is signed your Catholic Rate will not begin until the month we receive it. THERE WILL BE NO REFUNDS ISSUED FOR PREVIOUSLY PAID MONTHS AT THE NON CATHOLIC RATE. *If you are a member of one of the four regional parishes (St. Pius, Sacred Heart, St. Edwards or Ascension) the School office will reach out to the Church office to confirm the families have qualified for a Pastoral Recommendation for the 2025-2026 School Year if you have provided one to us previously.
MAP stands for "measuring academic progress" (standardized tests).
Parents--please bring your well rested student(s) to school on time. Students should bring two sharpened pencils. Also, please ensure that your student(s) eat a hearty and healthy breakfast before school, especially on the MAP Assessment mornings.
