Dear Parents:

        We have sent out our Back to School Mailing so everyone should be receiving their course selection information, which will prepare you for the Used Book Sale on July 18 from 9:00-1:00.
 
Bus Transportation
      We are currently in the process of finalizing the bus transportation for next year with DeMatha High School.  We are expecting it to be very similar to last year (which is currently on the  website).  However, an entire  informational  sheet will be posted in Parent  Announce on July 22.

        A reminder to all that your daughter will only receive a complete schedule once the parents have attended their mandatory parent orientation days.

        The Parent Orientation Days will allow our staff to confirm the following:

1.     Payment of School fees (which this year includes the purchase of a blazer for students in grades 9, 10, and 11.  (Please see your fee statement for the amount due)

2.    Payment of a minimum of two monthly tuition payments.  A reminder to all:
FACTS will not be taking out tuition in August.  Parents who need to pay in August must do so at the Parent Orientation Day.  Students cannot receive their full schedules without two monthly tuition payments having been made.


Caution:  If you printed a schedule prior to the portal closing, it may indeed be incorrect.  The only document that you can be sure is correct is your course selection information as periods, classes, and teachers are being changed even as we send this parent announce.  The Portal will continue to be updated, but will remain closed until we have completed our final scheduling process.


Other Reminders
1.    The Used Book Sale is CASH ONLY; please bring small bills.
2.    Tuition can only be paid by cash, credit card, money order, or cashier's check.  No personal checks are accepted.


PARENTS ONLY NEED TO SELECT ONE TIME PERIOD AND ONE DAY!

TIMES EACH DAY:  7:30-9-30;    11-130-1:30   and  4:30-6:30

Parent Painting and Back To School Party - July 18
On July 18 from 1:00 to 6:00, after the USED BOOK SALE, we are going to have another Parent Service Day.  Parents can get a jump on their service hours by helping us paint, clean and move things around for the new school year.  If you would like to join us, please email Sister Ellen Marie at ehagar@setonhs.org.
 

The Parent Club Organization (PCO) Board would like to make parents aware of an adjustment to the 2015-16 Parent Volunteer Service Hours distribution. Each family is asked to commit a minimum of 10 hours total to one or more of the volunteer activities sponsored by the PCO, the school staff or Alumnae Association. We understand that not all families are in a position to volunteer their time; therefore, we have many opportunities for families to donate in-kind items (e.g., food, beverages, paper products, etc.).  For in-kind donations, you receive 1 hr for every $10 spent.  Reimbursement will be given for the full 10 hours of service/in-kind donations only.

If you have any questions, please email us at pco@setonhs.org.  

We look forward to working with you this upcoming school year!
