The students of the 7th and 8th grade will be leading the school at Mass on Thursday at 9:00 AM. Parents are welcome.
Registration/Scholarships
On Thursday Mr. Woods will be attending a meeting regarding registration for the 2016-2017 school year. As of today we are to begin registration for new students for Kindergarten and re- registration of present students on February 1, 2016. Mr. Woods was also informed that scholarships will be available for students who are entering Kindergarten and new students coming from public schools in grades 1-6.
What do parents need to do --- the prerequisite for all scholarships is a copy of the 1040 tax form for 2015. I suggest therefore that parents who are interested in applying for a scholarship have their taxes filed as soon as possible.
Parents must understand that the scholarship top award is $2,000.00 based on the family income. The balance of tuition must then be paid by the parents.
As more information becomes available Mr. Woods will post it here on the blog. Parents are reminded to read the blog weekly.
Should you have any questions please see Mr. Woods or Alba about registration.
Mr. Woods will be having a parent meeting for parents of students in Mrs. Fundora's class on Monday January 25th at 8:15 AM in the school library. This meeting will be for parents regarding registration for the 2016-2017 school year-- a flyer will be sent home.
