School Payments: Each family is required to set up a family account with FACTS for automatic bank account withdrawal or credit card charge of most school fees: registration, tuition, extended day care, enrichment programs, script/gift card buyout balances, etc. You will be notified by email from FACTS about upcoming charges. Please contact the school office if you have any questions or concerns about payments and/or the FACTS program.
Continuous Enrollment: HTS assumes your family/children will be staying at HTS through eighth grade unless you advise the office in writing/ email to the contrary. FACTS will roll over your demographic and banking information (to facilitate ongoing payments) from year to year until graduation or until you tell HTS to stop.
Annual Registration: fees are payable via automatic withdrawal/charge from your family’s FACTS account in December at a rate of $150/student for returning students and $200/student for new students. All registration fees are non-refundable.
Returning students are required to pay a 10% nonrefundable tuition deposit via FACTS within 30 days of the Tuition Schedule being finalized—usually in March/April. The balance of the tuition is paid via FACTS based on the tuition plan you selected. There are 3 payment plan options as stated above.
Raise Right Formerly Script: In addition, each family must participate in the “Raise Right/ Gift Card Program.” Specifics are detailed below.
Raise Right/Gift Card Program: Each family must generate a minimum of $325/year in revenue to support our school in one of three ways:
Extended Day Care: HTS will bill families based on their participation in the EDC Program; payments are via automatic withdrawal/charge from FACTS. For the 22-23 school year, the Extended Care fee is $10.00 per hour per child. (A reduced rate of $ 8.00/child will be charged for siblings who attend aftercare together.) Extended Care ends promptly at 6 p.m. Additional charges will apply for late pickup.
Annual Class Dues of $ 35/ student are collected via FACTS in September / October.Each Family Is Responsible for Meeting its Financial Obligations (tuition, fees, scrip program, EDC, etc.) in a timely manner according to the Schedule of Fees published for each school year. When a family fails to meet its financial obligations, payments are considered in arrears. Services may be suspended until all financial obligations have been met.
Contract: annually, parents are required to sign a Tuition Contract stating that they have read and agreed to the Tuition and Fee Schedule/ Policy.
