NOW THAT WE ARE THAWED OUT; LET'S SPRING INTO ACTION

Dear Parents:
       I know that the past two months have been absolutely crazy with all of the snow, the change of schedules, and the loss of school days.  However, I want to take this opportunity to ask you to bring the CAPITAL CAMPAIGN to the front of your vision.  We are getting closer and closer to the end of the school year and we need the support of our parents to make the campaign happen.  We have wonderful plans for the library and the fields, but we are in need of your financial support. This was the first month that the parents did not reach the goal of raising $5000.00.
Instead, only $2500.00 was raised.  Please may I ask you to make this a priority and to ask for support for the campaign from those who love your daughter.  We are so close now, and we don't want to end this project.  
        Thank you so very much.
        Sister Ellen Marie

Dear Parents,

      

       As we look to next year, please allow me to offer you many details about tuition and fees and the process for re-registration.

  

       Once again, there is no mailing of information. All forms and information must be printed from our electronic communication to you.

 

       Next year's tuition will be $12,750. The re-registration fee is $150.00. Parents of seniors only must pay the graduation fee at the time of re-registration, which remains $200.

 

       I urge you to please read the enclosed information very carefully. It details for you information on payment plans. It is our policy that every family who is paying monthly makes their payments through the FACTS program. Families who were in FACTS last year will automatically be re-enrolled in FACTS next year. A re-enrollment fee of $46.00 will be charged to you by FACTS prior to the start of tuition payments. Families who wish to start paying monthly for the very first time, must enroll in FACTS. Please see the directions below. The first tuition payment is due June 5^th or 20^th  

            

 

 

Re-Registration Days

     This year we have established re-registration days for each class.

Current juniors will re-register on April 23 during homeroom period.

Current sophomores will re-register on April 21 during homeroom period.

Current freshmen will re-register on April 22 during homeroom period.

 

       When students re-register, they will need to bring the following items with them.

2. Tuition Obligation Commitment Form (signed by the person responsible for tuition and the parent)
3. Re-Registration Fee of $150.00 (cash, money order, or check). Seniors will need to bring their graduation fee of $200.00 as well. (cash, money order, or check)

 

       Again, thank you for all of your support. I appreciate the sacrifices you are continually making for your daughter to attend Seton, and I offer you the gratitude and respect of myself and the entire Seton staff.

 

       Gratefully,

Sister Ellen Marie Hagar

Elizabeth Seton: Father/Daughter Dance Credit Card Payment

Pope Francis I has designated this year as the Year of Consecrated Life.  In doing so, he has asked people to become more familiar with consecrated life and its gift to the church.  At Seton, we are blessed to have the Daughters of Charity who live a consecrated life.  In keeping with the Pope's wish, we are sharing the many facets of consecrated life with our students every Tuesday on our television in the student lobby.  Each week in Parent Announce, we will share this information with you.  Here are the first two weeks. Please click on each slide to enlarge.

Graduation Announcements (for those who ordered through our Jostens rep) will be distributed to Seniors on Wednesday, April 15th during lunches. Tuition must be paid in full in order to receive the order. Jostens has sent reminders to families who still owe for the announcements themselves. Please contact Mrs. Lindsey Glamp Beeler at lindsey.glamp@jostens.com if you have questions regarding payment.

The Graduation fee must also be paid in order to receive announcements. Please contact Sister Dorothy if you have any questions regarding tuition or the fee.

Elizabeth Seton High School is proud to announce that beginning with the freshmen class of 2019, we will be initiating a 1 to 1 personal technology program, wherein freshmen will lease a MacBook Air Laptop fully loaded with applications and software that will be used in class and at home.  The Class of 2019 is piloting this program for us, which will allow us to continually monitor and evaluate our efforts so that eventually the entire student body will have this advantage.  Please click here to visit our website for further information.

Elizabeth Seton High School invites you to join us for this very special annual event by registering your foursome and signing up for one of the tax-deductible sponsorships . The proceeds of our tournament will be used to renovate the school track and field, which today services our students in physical education classes and in our sports teams. We are in need of a brand new track worthy of Seton's renowned track team, which has won the WCAC Championships for eight consecutive years. We are also in need of a turf field to support our students who play soccer, lacrosse, and field hockey.
