To our Park Maitland Family during this Holiday Season:


As we approach the end of another year at Park Maitland, I reflect on the incredible journey we've shared. It's a time of celebration, of expressing our gratitude, and of cherishing the bonds that make our school community truly special.


This holiday season, I want to take a moment to extend my deepest appreciation to each and every one of you—our dedicated parents. Your unwavering support, commitment, and engagement in your child's education are the cornerstones of our shared success. Together, we've created an environment where curiosity thrives, creativity blossoms, and genuine connections are forged.


As we pause to enjoy the festivities and moments of reflection, I encourage you to take pride in the role you play in your child's growth and development. Whether through volunteering, attending events, or simply being present, your involvement enriches the school experience for everyone.


This holiday season, let's celebrate the achievements, big and small, of our students and the collective efforts that have made Park Maitland a beacon of learning and community. May the spirit of the season fill your homes with love, laughter, and cherished moments, and may the new year bring you renewed hope, prosperity, and endless possibilities.


On behalf of the entire Park Maitland team, I extend warm wishes for a festive holiday season and a New Year filled with happiness, good health, and continued success.


Warm regards,


Bianca Moore

Head of School Operations


Florida Voucher and Billing Update:


Dear Park Maitland Families,


As the calendar year winds down, and we all look forward to the coming winter break, we wanted to provide you with updates on our appeal to the Florida Department of Education regarding our school’s eligibility to accept state-funded vouchers.  


Our legal teams have been working closely with the Department of Education representatives and have submitted all requested documentation for our appeal.  While we do not have a final decision at this point, we are very optimistic that our voucher eligibility will be reinstated in the coming weeks and months. 


We held off on billing for tuition while our appeal was being filed.  Now that we feel more confident about this resolving in a positive manner, we will move forward with invoicing in January 2024.  


As promised throughout, we want to give you ample notice before we send any bills to you. You can expect to receive notification of this invoice in early January. We will not be running auto-pay for this invoice, as it will represent multiple months of tuition. We appreciate your partnership in ensuring you are up to date with all tuition payments by the end of the school year. We will not be charging any late fees for tuition payments.


Thank you for your continued support of Park Maitland as we have navigated this unexpected situation.  We wish you a joyful and restful holiday season and a new year.


Michael Anna

Head of School



FAQs:


  • Which months will the January invoice cover?


  • We stopped billing at the end of September, so the January invoice will cover October, November, December, and January.


  • Why are the state funds not accounted for in the invoice?


  • This has always been our standard operating procedure, since parents must approve the transfer of funds to our school via the state portal.


  • How should I calculate the amount my family owes for tuition?


  • We understand that the total due can be confusing since state funds are not accounted for in the invoice. You received notice from the state about your award amount earlier in the school year.  That amount is meant to be spread out over the entire academic year.  If you divide your award amount by the number of tuition payments in the plan you selected (1, 2, or 10), you will get the amount per payment that the state funds will cover.  We kindly ask you to pay the remaining balance. Please reach out to us directly if you have any questions, or would like us to help walk you through this.  


  • What if I under or over pay?


  • We will not be charging late fees this year for tuition payments, so if you under pay, we will work with you to get caught up.  If you overpay, we will refund you directly or credit your account.  In both cases, we will work directly with you.


  • When will you know if the vouchers are reinstated?


  • We do not have specific timing, but anticipate knowing more very soon.  We will alert you as soon as we receive any information.


  • Will [School Name] be eligible for vouchers for the 2024-2025 school year?


  • We anticipate our eligibility being fully reinstated.
