We have many enjoyable events planned for students, faculty, and families during Catholic Schools Week. Events include different lunch themes, dress downs, and assemblies. I will send out a more detailed schedule, as we get closer to the week of January 27.
Each year the Carol Flanagan Footsteps Fund provides additional assistance for families in need. This fund is a remembrance for the years of service Mrs. Flanagan gave to our school. If your family has recently experienced an unforeseen hardship, you may be eligible to receive assistance. Please notify the office for an application. Deadline for submitting the application is Friday, February 8th.
You will not be able to contact the office by using the Voice Mail until further notice. Please call the office the if your student will be absent or has a doctor’s appointment first thing in the morning.
Information regarding FACTS Tuition Assistance can be picked up in the school office. Families with students going into grades K-8 are eligible. A flyer was sent home last week with additional information.
