Have you received your re-enrollment email from Ingrid?
E-mails to parents and guardians are being sent-off this week for re-enrolling your student at Compass for the next academic year. Look for the email today!
23/24 Re-Enrollment Instructions
1. To access your contract, you'll need to log into your account in Blackbaud by going to the following link:
Start at: https://compass-school.myschoolapp.com/
There is an option to reset your password if you forgot it.
2. Once you're in, you should see a notification that says, "You have 1 Contract (s) to Review". Click on that.
3. You should be on a page called "Files & Forms". Your student's contract will be in there under their name with a 'Review' button on the right.
Click on 'Review'.
4. The system may ask you to verify that you have a Tuition Management (formerly Smart Tuition) account. If it does, select the checkbox and click 'Yes' (because you do). Enter your credentials when you're prompted to do so. If you don't remember them, please let us know.
At this point, you'll see a series of tabs: Contract, Tuition and Fee Schedule, Review, Deposit, and Confirmation:
5. CONTRACT tab: Read over the contract. You can print it out at the end of the process if you'd like a paper copy.
6. TUITION AND FEE SCHEDULE tab: This section needs some explanation. See below, and please read carefully. TIP: Printing out this email to have while you do it can be helpful.
a. You may see an option in blue at the top to establish joint or split accounts in Tuition Management (where you’ll do most of your bill paying). Even if you intend eventually to do this, you should select NO here if there’s the option. This will be worked out with Ingrid or Kendra later.
b. You will see the Tuition, Student Activity Fee, and (if appropriate) Student Service Fee and Chromebook Lease Fee. You will also see any credits and financial aid that have been applied. Read these over and note the “Total Due”. That’s the amount IN ADDITION TO Enrollment Fees that you’ll be paying. Enrollment Fees are paid now, the “Total Due” will be paid later.
NOTE: Enrollment Fees will appear in the DEPOSIT tab and are not reflected in the Tuition and Fee breakdown. If you have questions about any part of tuition or fees, we will happily answer them.
c. In the “Manage Billing Information” section, you’ll be asked to verify your billing information for Tuition Management, and to select a payment method.
Follow these guidelines:
PAYMENT PLAN OPTIONS: Select the payment plan that works best for you from the three options. If you need something different from one of these, feel free to contact the office.
We can change this later.
PAYMENT METHOD: If you wish to set up automatic payments for the “Total Due” money, you can do that here. If you’d rather not set up auto payments at this time, select “E-mail me an invoice for each payment I have due”.
PAYMENT DUE DATE: Choose either the 1st of the month, or the 15th of the month, according to your preference. The invoices you’ll receive will go out about 20 days before your due date.
REVIEW TERMS & CONDITIONS: Review the terms and conditions. When you’re ready, sign the contract digitally at the bottom.
7. REVIEW tab: This is a review of the contract and the money together – but NOT Enrollment Fees. You’ll deal with the Enrollment Fees in the next tab.
Click 'Accept' all the way at the bottom on the left.
8. DEPOSIT tab: This is where you'll see the Enrollment Fees broken out. These are required to confirm your students place for the upcoming fall. You'll also see payment options.
Follow the prompts and then click 'Pay and Submit'.
9. CONFIRMATION tab: Your student is enrolled for 2023-24. Congratulations!
There will be a checklist to follow that includes post-enrollment paperwork. I'll email you separately about that, with separate instructions.
Here’s to another wonderful year at Compass!
We look forward to getting to know you and your amazing children. Should you have any questions or concerns about any part of the re-enrollment process, please do not hesitate to email or call.
We are here to help!
All our best,
Ingrid Witherell and Kendra Rickerby
