Re-Enrollment 

In an effort to streamline the re-registration process, the Mater Dei Catholic School Administration is excited to announce the use of the "Continuous Enrollment" concept for students currently enrolled in our school. Continuous Enrollment assumes that once registered, a child will continue their education until graduation from eighth grade. Since most of our families (about 82%) choose Mater Dei year after year, this will streamline the enrollment process by reducing time and paperwork for parents and the school staff.

What is the parent’s role in Continuous Enrollment?

  1. If your child will be in Grades Pre-K 4, Kindergarten, or Grades 1 through 8 next year, you will complete a Continuous Enrollment Agreement during the guaranteed enrollment period. This period will run from October 23 until Friday, November 24th. A re-registration fee of $225 will be charged to your FACTS account on December 8th. Remember this is a family fee, so you only pay it once. During this re-enrollment period, your child is guaranteed classroom placement for the 24-25 school year. This agreement will be super quick to do through your FACTS Family Portal and once completed, your child will be re-enrolled for the 24-25 school year! 
    • Parents can opt out of enrollment for the next school year in your FACTS Family Portal during the enrollment period. Follow the instructions below to mark your child as not returning for the following school year. Even if your child is not returning for the next school year, you must follow the instructions below to opt out of enrollment.
  2. During this Continuous Enrollment period, after you have re-registered your current children, you may register siblings who would be new to Mater Dei. Complete a New Application and Enrollment packet for him or her, which can also be done through your FACTS Family Portal by using the drop-down arrow under Apply/Enroll and selecting Application. Please do not pay the registration fee, as you already paid it when you re-enrolled your other children. Your fee will be waived on this application. Please contact the Advancement Office at gsamanns@materdeicatholic.com before you submit this application.
