Students previously enrolled in another school will be provided with a Request for Records form to be signed and then sent to their previous school.

A parent/guardian may withdraw a student at any time, however 30 day notice is required, failing to provide 30 days notice will result in the current month’s tuition being withdrawn. All books must be returned and financial obligations met upon withdrawal and before records will be sent. Please refer to Diocesan Regulation Number 5.02.

“Students will not be permitted to register at another Catholic school within the Diocese of Phoenix until financial obligations at the current or previous Catholic school within the Diocese have been met. Catholic schools may take other action until financial obligations have been met.”

Records are then mailed directly to the new school.
