FAQs
1. My child attended previous year. Do I need to register again?
Yes. Please re-register at https://www.catamilacademy.org/cta/StudentReg.aspx .
2. I just registered. Can you please acknowledge?
You should receive an automated email from CTA/ ITA confirming your registration on CTA. For payment, we will manually verify. Once we verify the payment, you should not see pending payment on CTA. This confirms that your registration and payment is complete.
3. During registration, I only see pay-in-person option. What should I do?
You can leave it selected. Please proceed with the payment using Zelle. Please use the payment questionnaire for the payment instructions. Please copy the memo/ message section as-is in the Zelle payment. It makes it challenging for us to correlate the payment with the student without this information.
4. I registered/ re-registered my child. I just paid through Zelle. Can you please acknowledge the payment?
Please wait 5-7 days. After you login into https://www.catamilacademy.org/.
Click Parent Access -> Child Payment
If you don't see any pending payment, it means we have acknowledged your payment.
5. Its been more than 7 days since I paid. It still shows me a pending payment amount. What should I do?
If you see any pending payment of more than $239, it is possible that you have entered incorrect information in the memo/ message section of Zelle payment. Probably CTA StudentID in the memo/ message section is either missing or invalid.
It may also be possible that you paid incorrect amount. Please contact us.
Note that providing incorrect or incomplete information will incur additional processing fees or may void the registration.
6. I think I overpaid. What should I do?
Please contact us. We will process the refunds before end of the school year (June 2025).
7. I did not register. But paid the fees. What happens?
You registration is incomplete. We have limited capacity and your child may not be able to attend the school. If you need refund, contact us. We will process by end of the school year (June 2025).
8. When do you have the skip grade evaluation test and how do I sign up?
1. Skip test usually conducted around the 3rd week. (Saturday).
2. Registration for skip test is based on the teacher's assessment and parent's input.
3. Parents can work with the teacher for signing up.
