Hello, parents and supporters of the 2014 graduates of Elizabeth Seton High School!
 
The final deadline for creating an ad for this year's yearbook for your senior is fast approaching.  The final day to submit an ad online through our publisher is Monday, Dec. 2, the Monday after Thanksgiving.
 
The first attached PDF gives instructions for submitting your ad both online and through the yearbook staff, but the deadline for having us create your ad is not past. Therefore, your only option at this point is to create your ad yourself through the publisher. The second attached PDF has instructions from the company about how to do so. Please note that Seton's yearbook will include only 1/4 and 1/2 page ads.
 
Please also note that we are setting aside only 30 pages for senior ads. Those pages are filling up, and the remaining space will be given on a first-come, first-served basis. Please act soon!
 
If you have any questions, please contact the yearbook adviser, Dr. Anne Carroll, at acarroll@setonhs.org.  Thank you!

The State of Maryland Non-public School Student Textbook Program has been in effect for 13 years.  Seton has received substantial grants each year from this grant.  This year, Seton parents saved $90.00 per student on tuition and fees because of this program.

We had hoped that student service hours would be viewed online this year through the portal, however the system does not provide us with the amount of detail we would like.  Therefore, all student service hours will be recorded in the database that we have been using the past several years.  Students will receive a paper copy of their service record at the end of the first semester and can check in with Mrs. Tarnosky anytime they would like to view their record.

Volunteers Needed - Service Hours Available

Crew boosters is looking for volunteers to work the University of Maryland Football Concession Stand # 1 this season. Seton parents earn 8 service hours and non-Seton students over the age of 14 can earn the same. If interested fill out the attached form and select a game.
