JRA: Business Manager: Matt McHugh

Dear Parents,

Hello and welcome to the 2009-10 school year. My name is Matt McHugh and I am the Business Manager at Julie Rohr Academy.  In May of 2003, I graduated from the University of South Florida in Tampa with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration.  Since that time I have been the "full-time" Business Manager at JRA, however, I have much experience here.

For those of you who do not know me, I am the middle son of Julie Rohr McHugh and as you can imagine, have spent my entire life here.  I graduated 8th grade from JRA and came on as an afternoon aide throughout my high school years.  I continued working afternoons while attending MCC where I received my AA degree.  After receiving my AA degree from MCC, I moved to Tampa to continue my education at USF.  During my years in Tampa, I commuted to Sarasota on Fridays to work at JRA assisting with some of the bookkeeping and administrative duties.  This year I will be in the office Monday through Friday from 9:30AM through 6:00PM.  This will hopefully allow me to be available to any and all parents that need my assistance.  If you ever have any questions or concerns, please feel free to stop in, call or e-mail me at any time.  My e-mail address is This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

As Business Manager of JRA, one of my most important duties is to monitor all accounts.  This can get rather tedious at times.  Over the past several years, we have had problems with some accounts falling behind.  Many people do not realize the high costs of operating a school, and without timely payments, it is difficult for us to meet our expenses.  To reiterate the process as stated in the contract, monthly payments are due on or before the 1st of each month and weekly payments are due on or before Monday of each week.  A late fee of $15 for any unpaid balance over $200 and $30 for any unpaid balance over $400 will be added on the 5th and 20th of each month.  ALL unpaid balances must be paid by the last day of the month in order for JRA to continue providing educational services for the student.  I greatly appreciate your attention to this and look forward to a wonderful school year.



Sincerely,

Matt McHugh
Business Manager
