June marks the beginning of monthly tuition payments for school year 2014-2015.
It is our policy that all families must have two months of tuition paid by August 26, the first day of school in order for their daughter to attend class.  All families who have not made a June payment must make payments in July and August. There is no exception to this policy.
All families who are paying tuition in one or two payments for the entire year must have their payment made by the first day of school as well.

Seton will hold an SAT Prep. class this summer--July 21--25 (8:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m.)  The cost is $350.00.  To enroll, contact Mrs. Burke lburke@setonhs.org.

Work permits may be obtained in the Guidance Office over the summer. To obtain access to a work permit form on the Seton website, go to the Academics tab and click on Guidance.  Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the bottom link for Work Permits.  This takes you to the Department of Labor website.  Follow the complete directions for "Teen." You will be instructed to print and fill out a hard copy of the work permit application, which must be signed by the student, parent and employer.  The next step is to follow directions to complete the online application on the Department of Labor website (located on the form) and print out a receipt.  The completed form and the receipt may then be taken to the Guidance Office for processing.
 
Guidance Office hours are from 9:00 am to 11:30 am Monday through Thursday.

The Kulemeka Family has written us several notes of gratitude for our outreach to them at the time of their house fire.  They are certainly grateful for the monies raised through the student Tag Day, but they are most grateful for the way the Seton Community "showed us the face of God". In their words, "Seton is the best place for girls to acquire the values that make us human and able to empathize with other people."
