PARENTS OF NEW STUDENTS FOR 2012-13:
ENROLLMENT CONTRACT

To be completed by parent or guardian financially responsible for the following students. I hereby reserve a place in St. Martin's Episcopal School:

Parents of new students for the 2012-2013 school year only if a signed enrollment contract ("Contract") and the nonrefundable tuition deposit ("Deposit") year are to return the signed Contract and Deposit by the date stated in the acceptance letter you received. Any contract and Deposit received after that date will be accepted subject to availability.

Unless and until I deliver to the school written notice to the contrary, or unless and until this student is dismissed from the school, this student will be re-enrolled for each succeeding school year through 12^th grade without the necessity of submitting further enrollment contracts. I hereby acknowledge that this enrollment contract shall continue in force until any one of the following circumstances occurs: (1) Graduation of this student(s); (2) Written notice of withdrawal of this student(s); or (3) Involuntary dismissal of this student(s) by the school. I understand that tuition and fees may change each year. The school will inform parents of tuition and fees for the next school year on or before February 1 of the current school year. Unless and until I deliver written notice to the contrary, this contract will continue at the tuition and fees set forth by the school for the next school year, subject to the conditions of full payment of tuition and compliance with all rules and policies of the school.

I understand that my account will be billed for the nonrefundable tuition deposit ("Deposit") in February of each year through the beginning of this student's 12^th grade year unless I deliver to the school written notice that this student will not be enrolled for the following school year; or unless this student is involuntary dismissed by the school.

I have read the explanation of the Tuition Refund Plan and I understand that in the event that I desire to enroll in this plan I must designate "yes" beside the individual child's name above. In the event that I do not desire to enroll in said plan, I must designate "no" beside the individual child's name above. For the plan to be effective, the full fee for the plan must be paid prior to the first day of the academic year.

I understand that the full fee for the Tuition Refund Plan must be paid prior to the first day of the academic year. I acknowledge that unless and until I deliver to the school written notice to the contrary, I hereby elect to continue the TRP each subsequent year through this student's graduation year, withdrawal by or dismissal of this student. In order for the TRP to remain valid, I acknowledge that I must pay the full fee for the plan prior to the first day of each academic year.

In consideration of this reservation agreement by the School, the undersigned agrees to pay all required tuition and charges applicable to the relevant school year, and abide by all stipulations and payment terms set forth in this Contract. I understand that this Contract is contingent upon the student's successful completion of the current academic year and full payment of all charges for the current and/or prior academic year(s).

I understand that my obligation to pay tuition and charges for the full academic year is unconditional, and no portion of the tuition and charges paid or outstanding will be refunded or canceled despite the subsequent absence, withdrawal or dismissal from the School of the above student(s).

Should enrollment be withdrawn prior to June 1^st, immediately preceding the next academic year, the tuition deposit will be retained by the School, but there is no obligation to pay additional tuition sums. If enrollment is canceled or the student fails to attend School, even as a result of dismissal by the School after June 1^st, immediately preceding the next academic year, I am obligated to pay the full annual tuition.

Without exception, no student may commence the academic year or the second semester until tuition and all fees are paid, or enrollment in the tuition financing plan with current payment status. Tuition is due in two installments:

Payment Options:

There are several options available for payment of tuition and other fees incurred at St. Martin's Episcopal School. Checks, cash, or credit cards (MasterCard, Discover and American Express - a 2.5% convenience fee will apply) are accepted as well as the online E-Check and Direct payment through Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT). The First Bank and Tuition Financing Program is the only option for monthly tuition payments. Loans are available for 10 months with payments commencing on July 1st and ending on April 1^st. Only tuition, less the tuition deposit, can be financed with this program.

All miscellaneous charges are due within 30 days of the date billed. On accounts more than (30) days overdue, there will be a late penalty, retroactive to the due date, of 1 percent per month (12 percent per annum) on the outstanding balance. It is the responsibility of the parent or guardian to pay, to the extent permitted by law, the school's expenses of enforcement and collection of the tuition and related expenses, without limitation, including attorney's fees and costs.

The privileges of the School will be denied to any student for whom the undersigned parent or guardian of which fail in their financial obligations. The School reserves the right to deny attendance to students whose accounts include overdue balances. Auxiliary services will be suspended for any student whose account is past due. Only when all tuition and other charges have been paid will grades and transcripts be released. By executing this contract, the undersigned hereby agrees, both on their own behalf and on behalf of the student(s) enrolled pursuant to this Contract, that they have no right whatsoever to release of any grades and/or transcripts until all amounts due the School have been paid in full. Enrollment will not be effective for the next academic year until all financial obligations from any prior year are satisfied in full.

Unless and until I deliver to the School written notice to the contrary, I hereby authorize the above named student(s) to participate in all School activities, including athletics and School-sponsored or sanctioned trips, and I authorize use of this student's photograph and/or video of this student in School publications, communications and advertising.

Any expense for medical care for an enrolled student resulting from injuries sustained at School or at a School-related function is the responsibility of the parent or guardian. The parent or guardian understands that the School does not provide student accident insurance. There is an optional program under which parents may purchase secondary student accident insurance, at their own expense, to cover eligible medical expenses from accidental injury. The purchase of this insurance creates an agreement between the parent and the insurance company. Information concerning this program will be included with your August bill each year.

The parent or guardian and the student agree to comply with the rules and regulations of the School as set forth in its official publications or as may be adopted by the School during the year. Any student who fails to comply with the School's rules, regulations and "Expectations of Students" (as stated in the student handbook) is subject to disciplinary action, including dismissal. The health information/parent permission form must be on file before a student can attend the first day of classes of each school year. There will be no refund of tuition where such enforced withdrawal occurs, and any unpaid balance is payable in full in accordance with the payment schedule.

A strong parent/legal guardian-school partnership is critical to the success of its students. To be successful, St. Martin's needs and expects the cooperation and respect of its parents/legal guardians, who must understand and embrace the school's mission, share its core values, and fully support its curriculum, faculty and staff. Additional information about the school's philosophy, rules and regulations for our entire community can be found in the Handbook, online at www.stmsaints.com (parents portal).

The School admits students of any race, color, religious, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to the students at this School. The School does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national and ethnic origin, or disability in administration of educational policies, admission policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic, and other School-administered programs.

Arbitration of Disputes: Any dispute, controversy or claim that may arise between the School and either the student or the student's parent or guardian shall be resolved by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in New Orleans, Louisiana under the Commercial Arbitration Rules, Expedited Procedures effective at the time of the dispute. Any award rendered by any arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, including but not limited to the 24th Judicial District Court for the Parish of Jefferson. Among other disputes, the parties hereby agree to arbitrate the following:

• All disputes relating to tuition, fees, or other charges due to or charged by the School, including but not limited to, disputes arising under the law of contract, unjust enrichment, restitution and/or quantum meruit.
• All other disputes, including but not limited to, those arising under the law of tort, contract, or restitution, or involving any School rules or policies, student discipline, or any other matter arising out of the student's enrollment at the School.

The non-prevailing party shall pay all costs and legal fees incurred by the prevailing party. In addition, the non-prevailing party shall pay the prevailing party for all costs and legal fees incurred in connection with enforcement of any arbitration award.

Informed Consent to Arbitration. The student's parent or guardian understands that in agreeing to arbitrate, they are expressly waiving their right to file any lawsuit in court and to any trial by jury. The student's parent or guardian also understands that this paragraph does not prospectively limit the School's substantive liability to the student's parent or guardian in any way. Nevertheless, the student's parent or guardian is advised of the desirability of seeking and is given a reasonable opportunity to seek the advice of independent legal counsel regarding this arbitration provision prior to signing. This provision is expressly made in consideration of the School agreeing to enroll the student.
