A Lasallian Prayer
Father in Heaven….God of Love,All I have and am is YoursGrant that I may become a living signOf your compassion in this world.Grant me the faith to live my life alwaysIn the Awareness of Your loving presence.Grant me the zeal to serve, without thought of reward,those to whom You send me.Grant me the charity to bear the burdensOf my brothers and sisters.
Teach me to seek Your Son's Face In the last,The lost and the least/ In whatever I undertake,May i seek above all things,To procure Your glory as far as I am ableAnd as You require of me.Strengthen me by your Holy Spirit,To follow Jesus,By living the commitment I make this day.
St. John Baptiste de La Salle…….Pray for us.Live Jesus in our hearts………forever!

Tuition Payment
• Tuition will be paid in 10 monthly installments from August-May via FACTS Management Systems.
• The two payment options are:– Automatic Debit: tuition payment will be deducted directly
from your bank account each month. We highly recommend that this is the best option to choose, based on its convenience.
– Invoice: Parents must make payments monthly to FACTS via mail, telephone, or online payments. With this option parents are also welcome to pay Hudson Catholic High School directly, where we will then apply the payment to their FACTS account.
– There is a $45.00 one-time fee to enroll in this system.
Tuition Payment
• FACTS allows for flexibility in payment arrangements. Although payments are intended to be made every 30 days, the dates in which payments are due can be modified if necessary (pending on parent notifying and communicating with Tuitions Manager of their needs). – COMMUNICATION IS KEY. For every missed/late
payment, a $30.00 fee will be charged by FACTS. To prevent this fee, it is ESSENTIAL that the parent reach out to the Tuitions Manager at least 3 days before the payment is due to work out new arrangements.
Tuition Payment
• Parents have 24/7 access to the most updated versions of their child’s tuition accounts and payment information, so PLEASE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE INFORMATION IT PROVIDES.
• Upon the first day of school, each student MUST have paid: 1st month’s tuition, Registration Fee, and Technology Fee.
