Callout Title

Before and Aftercare Billing

Before/Aftercare is now being billed daily in Blackbaud. The time is entered each day for each student, and there is a running total each month until the monthly invoice is emailed to the parents. Please remember to check Blackbaud for Before & Aftercare billing, especially if you are ESA approved or have already paid your tuition for the year. Payments can be made through your Blackbaud account. Unfortunately, Blackbaud shows the total amount charged but not the date/time detail. If you need that information, please contact Robin Spencer at financialoffice@sccsiowa.org, or 563-326-5313 x283.

Vacation and Homework

Just a reminder that it is the policy of St. Paul’s School to not provide assignments and homework ahead of time for children who will be missing school due to a family vacation during scheduled school days.

  • Students will have one day to make up work for each day of school missed.
  • Please do not request teachers to go to the extra work of putting together homework packets and plans when your family is choosing to miss school for a vacation.
  • Your vacation choice should not put extra work on your child’s teacher.
  • Teachers will catch them up when they return.
  • Missing direct instruction and discussion in the classroom can never be duplicated.
