Important Tuition Information
From the Desk of Ms. Anne Kohl:
As we wrap up the 2023-24 school year, please be aware that Tuition Invoices for the 2024-25 school year will be available online starting Monday, June 3, 2024. An email will be sent from Blackbaud Tuition Management when your account is ready.
The first payment for the 2024-25 school year is due in July 2024. Blackbaud Tuition Management will apply a $50 late fee when payment has not been received within 5 days of the due date. Mount St. Mary Academy is not able to waive Blackbaud Late Fees.
Please log into your account as soon as possible to view the account details. At that time, you may change your payment plan and payment method if you choose. Please note: only accounts that are set up for an automatic payment (credit card or ACH payment) may choose a due date other than the 1st day of the month. If your 2023-24 tuition account has a credit balance, it will be applied to the July 1st balance due. If your 2023-24 tuition account has a past-due balance, your payment is due immediately.
For assistance with your Blackbaud account, please contact the Blackbaud Customer Care team at: 1-888-868-8828.

Help Support MSM's STEAM Classes With New or Gently Used Items
Attention MSM families! If you or anyone you know is tackling a spring cleaning project, please keep our STEAM classes in mind if you find any of the items listed below! Our STEAM classes will put these items to good use and your donations ensure that MSM's STEAM classroom remains a vibrant and well-equipped environment for learning.
We will gratefully accept donations of the following items:
- Knitting Supplies - Students will learn to knit and relate knitting to coding. Supplies required include old knitting needles, and balls of yarn (half used balls of yarn are perfect).
- Sewing Supplies - Students will engineer their own patterns and sew items for themselves and/or Barbie dolls. We need fun interesting fabrics, fat quarters, and thread. We would also greatly appreciate one or two unused sewing machines.
- LEGO - One of our goals for next year is to build a Rube Goldberg Machine out of LEGOS to enter the ECC Tech Wars Competition. We would be grateful for donations of old, unloved LEGOS sitting in basements; our STEAM students will put them to good use!
If you are able to donate, please send the items to school with your student. Thank you in advance for your continued support and dedication to our MSM STEAM programs!
