This also applies to school related events, such as field trips.  MVCS reserves the right to confiscate the items listed above, which may be returned only to the student's parent at the discretion of the teacher or school administration.  Lost, stolen, or damaged electronic devices are not the responsibility of the school.

Tuition and Payments

As a self-supporting ministry of Higher Ground Calvary Chapel, MVCS pays all of its financial obligations out of registration and tuition payments.  It is our desire to maintain low tuition rates, while being a good steward and witness to the vendors from whom we purchase our materials and supplies.  It is essential, therefore, that parents be good stewards to us in turn by making prompt registration and tuition payments.

All payments for registration and tuition should be mailed or delivered to the MVCS elementary office located in the school office.  Checks should be made payable to Moreno Valley Christian School. Questions concerning accounts should be directed to the elementary office.

Tuition payments are due on the 1^st day of each month, beginning in August.  Tuition payments are considered late if received in our office after the 10^th (if the 10^th day of the month falls on Saturday, Sunday, of holiday, the payment will be considered late if it is not received in our office on the last school day prior to the 10^th).  A $25.00 late fee will be assessed for any check (whether it is for payment of registration, tuition, or otherwise) that is returned by a bank for non-sufficient funds (NSF).  The school office will notify parents in the event of a NSF check.  Parents will have two (2) business days after notification in which to tender the registration, tuition or other payment and the NSF fee.  Failure to tender the proper payment and the NSF fee may result in the parents being asked to withdraw the student(s) from school.  If the school receives more than two (2) NSF checks from any family during the school year, that family may be required to make all further payments to the school by only cash, money order, cashier’s check, or certified check.  Once a tuition account becomes past due for failure to make a timely tuition payment, parents have 10 days to bring the account current or the parents may be asked to withdraw their child from school.
