Private School Tuition Deduction & tuition Statements

Parents can deduct private school tuition on their Wisconsin state taxes, up to $4,000 per K-8 student and $10,000 per high school student. Claim this deduction by filing WI Schedule PS with your Wisconsin state income tax return. This overview explains how to claim the deduction and answers some FAQs. 

To claim the deduction, you may need a year-end tuition statement that reports the amount of tuition paid during the taxable year. You can retrieve yours from your Finalsite Enrollment account by following these steps:

• Log into your Finalsite Enrollment account.
• Click on Billing Management.
• Scroll down to the Ledger header to find a Tax Statements dropdown menu. Select 2024 to generate and download your tuition statement.

Reporting Absences 

Attendance and Planned Absence Protocol
In order to help families report student attendance and planned absences, Marquette High has now established three different routes parents/guardians may take. Details for each method can be found here. 

• Attendance Direct Phone Line: (414) 937-7810 - This line will take parents to an automated recording for the attendance office, and parents should report the student’s name, grade level, reason for absence, and a callback number at which they can be reached should further information be needed by administration. These calls should be placed between 7:30 a.m. and 9 a.m. the day of the absence.
• Email Attendance Office Email: Attendance@muhs.edu - This route may be used for planned absences or for submitting scans from appointments (i.e. a scanned note from a doctor’s office). If submitting documents for an excused medical appointment, please do so as soon as possible, following the appointment. When emailing, please provide the same information as you would when leaving a voice message.
• Guardian Entered Planned Absences via Skyward - This tool through Skyward allows for those with Guardian Access on a student’s account to submit details for a planned absence. To access this, a parent/guardian must first access their Skyward account and navigate to the “Attendance” page.
