TUITION PAYMENTS

tutitionWe can hardly believe that it is time to start receiving tuition payments for the 2008-2009 school year. 
The accounting department is working toward getting the invoices out ASAP.   SO... we are hoping that you will not mind that we are extending the "payment due" deadline, for the first payment only, until May 15, 2008.  Thank you for your understanding as we work through a change in accounting software.  If you have any
questions, please address them to our Business Office at 281.496.7900 extension 226.
