What is continuous enrollment and how is it different from the previous re-enrollment process?

Continuous enrollment means that once you are a student enrolled at Plumstead Christian School, you are automatically enrolled in the next grade level each academic school year.  Once families enroll in the Continuous Enrollment Program, there is NO ACTION that parents/guardians need to take to secure a seat for their student for the next school year, and no re-enrollment packet to complete. For the 2023 - 2024 school year, parents will complete a Continuous Enrollment Tuition Agreement that will enroll their child into the Continuous Enrollment Program.

How do I complete a Continuous Enrollment Tuition Agreement?

To complete your Continuous Enrollment Tuition Agreement, you will access FACTS/Renweb through your existing Parent login: 

• Go to ParentsWeb

• Type in your username and password.  If you have forgotten your username or password, please click on the link provided. (Preschool families: you may need to register your account if logging in for the first time.)

• After logging in, click on the Apply/Enroll button in the left menu.

• Click on the Enrollment/Reenrollment button.

• A simple 2-minute enrollment form will appear for each student - this is the last time you will need to complete this!

Is there a financial commitment required at the continuous enrollment deadline?

Yes! The commitment deposit (per family) is $100 for Preschool and $500 for K-12th grades, and will be automatically withdrawn via ACH on March 1, 2023.  This deposit allows us to make plans for staffing, programming, instructional materials, and facility usage. Commitment deposits (less the continued enrollment fee) will be applied toward your first 2023 - 2024 tuition payment. The continued enrollment fee is $60 for one student, $100 for two students, and $125 if you have three or more students.  

If you need to update your ACH information, please contact Connie Brautigam in the business office at cbrautigam@plumsteadchristian.org or 215-866-8073. If you are not an ACH participant, please send a check to the Business Office payable to PCS on or before March 1, 2023.

What action(s) do we need to take at the March 1st continuous enrollment deadline?

For the 2023 - 2024 school year, families must complete one final enrollment form / tuition agreement in order to participate in our Continuous Enrollment Program. In subsequent years, there is NO ACTION to take if your child will be continuing his/her education at PCS for the 2023 - 2024 school year. If your child or family will not be continuing at Plumstead Christian School for the 2023 - 2024 school year, you must indicate in FACTS/Renweb that you “Will Not Enroll” by March 1st.

(Note: If you are not an ACH participant, there is an additional action - you will need to send a check for the continued enrollment deposit to the business office by March 1st.)

Is the Continued Enrollment Deposit payment refundable?
No refunds of the continued enrollment deposit will be given after March 1st, except for a relocation of 25 miles or more from the family’s current address, or a military move (orders are required).

I applied for Variable Tuition. When will I receive my Variable Tuition information from the business office?

Completed Variable Tuition applications were due by January 31, 2023. Variable Tuition awards will be provided before the March 1st continuous enrollment deadline.  Accounts must be current in order to receive a variable tuition award for the 2023 - 2024 school year.

What if we are unsure about continued enrollment for the 2023 - 2024 academic school year?

Due to growing enrollment, unless there are circumstances that have confirmed that you will be unable to continue your child’s education at PCS, we encourage you to complete a Continuous Enrollment Agreement. As we move to a waitpool process for new applicants to PCS, once the March 1st continued enrollment deadline has passed, seats will be filled by applicants in our waitpools at all grade levels.  If you need more time, please contact the Admissions Office to confirm if there is a waitpool for your student’s grade level.

Without a re-enrollment packet, how will I update my child’s demographic or medical information?

As a part of your Back to School checklist in August 2023, you will be asked to make any updates to your child’s information via the forms in FACTS Family Portal.  We encourage you to keep this information up-to-date year round!  However, we will remind you to provide any updates prior to the start of the 2023 - 2024 school year.

What if we decide to withdraw our student(s) for the 2023-24 school year?

If you will not be returning to PCS for the 2023-24 school year, please follow these steps to withdraw your student(s):

• Go to ParentsWeb

• Type in your username and password.  If you have forgotten your username or password, please click on the link provided. (Preschool families: you may need to register your account if logging in for the first time.)

• After logging in, click on the Apply/Enroll button in the left menu.

• Click on the Enrollment/Reenrollment button.

• Select “Will Not Enroll.”

Please note that the Admissions Office will send you a more detailed withdrawal form to complete as well.

If you have additional questions, please contact Jenn Jacobs in the Admissions Office at jjacobs@plumsteadchristian.org or 215-766-8073.
