Independent School Fee Due for 2015-2016
This is a reminder that if you didn’t pay this fee at the time of re-registration, either full or partial
payment is due April 15, depending on which option you selected. Please see the excerpt below
taken from the re-registration letter sent home on February 11th:
…In addition to these fees, we are continuing an additional fee for 2015-2016, which will assist us in
moving ahead as an independent parish school. This additional revenue will allow us to ensure our
ability to operate independently; offset additional costs of being a parish based school and maintain
the high quality of our educational programs. Accordingly, there will be a per family charge of $250
for one child, $400 for two children and $500 for three or more children. This fee will be payable
either all at once by April 15, 2015, or in two equal installments payable by April 15, 2015 and
October 15, 2015.
June Calendar
A revised June calendar will be sent home after Easter Recess.
Summer Programs
We receive many flyers from various organizations for summer programs including camps and
summer enrichment in math and reading. Please see Mrs. Sinnott if you are in need of a summer
program.
Dismissal
In order to ensure our students’ safety, please monitor your children at dismissal time. Some of the
younger children are playing with sticks and rocks and we want to be sure no one gets hurt. Thank
you for your cooperation!
God Bless!

Thank You ** Thank You ** Thank You
We can’t thank you enough for helping make the Palm
Sunday Bake Sale such a success. We appreciate everyone
who brought in baked goods, helped wrap on Saturday,
sold after all the masses and came to purchase the baked
goods. It was a fun weekend and it was amazing to see all
of the people who gave their time to help.
The winner of the pizza party with the most participation
was Mrs. Parisi. Sr. Kathleen’s class came in 2nd followed
by Mrs. Dentini’s class in 3rd place.
Thanks again for all the help. We hope everyone has a
wonderful Easter.
