Dear St. Bernadette School Families,
On behalf of the entire staff of St. Bernadette School we look forward to the coming school year. New and returning school families already enrolled in the TADS system should have received an email today from “St. Bernadette School Support@TADS” with “St. Bernadette School Fall 2020-2021 Agreement” and your ID number in the subject line. You must log into the TADS system under the primary account holder who registered your student(s) and make your account selections by Monday, June 1st.
TADS offers many features for your convenience including:
• Transactions/statements in an all-email format, including payment remindersWe realize the transition to online billing is new to many of you. Please note that there is an up-front TADS administration fee collected annually by the company. St. Bernadette does not receive those funds. As a courtesy, St. Bernadette is absorbing all credit card processing fees for the coming school year if you choose the credit card payment option. We are aware TADS is calculating a 3% processing fee attached to their administration fee and they are working to correct this as quickly as possible. If you are charged this fee you will be credited $1.65 once the system is adjusted.
All tuition payments will now be processed through TADS and no payments will be accepted in the school office. SCRIP vouchers will continue to be accepted through the business office and your TADS account will be credited. Financial Aid will be awarded no later than July 15th and your tuition balance will be adjusted accordingly upon receipt of those funds. In the meantime you should pay the recommended billing amount currently shown on your TADS account.
As you may be aware, more and more Catholic and private schools are outsourcing enrollment and tuition services due to the ever increasing time and effort in administering these processes. In the long-run we are hopeful that this decision will support the long-term sustainability of St. Bernadette Parish and School. We look forward to another successful year at St. Bernadette School and if you have any questions or concerns regarding tuition billing and payments, please contact the business office at (610)789-7676.
Sincerely,
Robert Helmig, Business Manager
