General information about your income, expenses, and assets

Step 1: Create Your Account

  • Go to the SSS Family Portal.
  • Create your account with your email address and a password. Or, if you have used SSS with another school in the past, login to your existing account.

Step 2: Complete the Parents’ Financial Statement (PFS)

  • Complete a PFS. You may log out at anytime and return later to finish it.
  • Anywhere in the application that requests 2024 figures, please provide 2023 estimates. The language is defined by SSS and we apologize for any confusion it may create. We recognize that families will not have 2023 tax returns or 2023 figures available at this time.
  • When all PFS sections are complete with green checks, the submit and pay button activates. Follow prompts to the payment screen. The $55 fee is nonrefundable.

Step 3: Submit Documents

  • After you pay for and submit your PFS, access to “My Documents” becomes available on the dashboard to upload required documents.
  • Make sure the documents are on your computer and each specific form is saved as a separate PDF file.
  • Required documents for 2024-25 school year include 2022 1040 with all schedules and worksheets, 2022 W2 and/or 1099 form.
  • Return to your Family Portal account and confirm you are on the correct academic year.
  • If you prefer to submit required documents by mail, print your cover sheet from “My Documents” and send it with your documents to the address it provides at least 10 days before the deadline.

Step 4: Receive Your Indexed Tuition Notification

  • Prospective Families: If you apply before February 15, 2024, and your child has been accepted to Mounds Park Academy, your family’s Indexed Tuition decision will be announced on March 29, 2024 when your enrollment contract is sent. This timeline also applies to current families who are adding a sibling to MPA. If you apply after February 15, awards will be made on a rolling basis as budget allows.
  • Current Families: Your family’s Indexed Tuition will be announced on February 2, 2024 when re-enrollment opens unless you are adding a new child to the community. If you are adding a new child to the community, your entire family's agreement and Indexed Tuition will be released on March 29, 2024.
