REFERRAL CREDIT | ANOTHER WAY TO EARN TUITION CREDIT

The parents of students at Shepherd of the Hills are great partners in the education of their child(ren)! God has blessed us with so many parents who speak highly of the outstanding nationally recognized program offered at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran School. In an effort to show our appreciation for this partnership and provide additional students the chance to experience the same positive educational and care experiences, the Board of Education at Shepherd of the Hills has established the following policy:

Parents of full-time students enrolled at Shepherd of the Hills who refer another family with a full-time child to our program can earn 1 month of free tuition. The following criteria must be met:

• The enrolling child’s parent(s) list you on GRADELINK as the individual who referred them to Shepherd of the

Hills.

• The family must complete the enrollment process.

• Discount will be given to family once that referring student has been with us for at least 6 months.
