Visit the School and Student Services (SSS) website to create an online account and complete your Parent Financial Statement (PFS). This statement gathers relevant information about your family size, income, and expenses which can be used to estimate the amount you can contribute towards school expenses. The Tuition Assistance Committee at Cascades Academy uses this estimate as a starting point to determine the actual tuition assistance award that can be offered. Both parents are required to complete a PFS for two-household families. The code for Cascades Academy is 900152.

The fee to submit the application is $60, for any number of applicant children, for any number of schools. Please contact the Director of Admission to request a fee waiver as needed. Once your PFS is submitted, it cannot be withdrawn from the SSS system.

After you pay for and submit your PFS, you'll have access to the PFS Online section called "Manage Documents." Please upload the following required documents as soon as they are available:

• 2022 1040 with all filed schedules and attachments  
• 2023 1040 with all filed schedules and attachments
• 2023 Form W-2(s)
