Acceptance letters include your enrollment agreement and instructions on how to sign up for a FACTS account to finalize tuition.

5. Return your signed agreement with the 10% tuition deposit.
The 10% deposit secures your child’s enrollment at RCMS.

You have two weeks from the date of your acceptance to return your completed Enrollment Agreement and 10% deposit, otherwise we are free to offer the space to another family.

6. Receive and return all additional required forms before the child begins school.
Children will not be permitted to attend RCMS until all forms are submitted. This may delay their start date and days missed due to missing documentation will not be refunded.

Families are responsible for providing the following completed documents to our front office prior to the first day of school. A child may not begin attending RCMS before all forms are completed and delivered to us. RCMS provides a full set of documents to each enrolled family.
