Dear Parents:

        We have sent out our Back to School Mailing so everyone should have received their course selection information.

 
Transportation
      Please click here for details of transportation for next year. 

Families are now able to register for Seton and DeMatha bus routes. Please visit www.setonhs.org/transportation for all details regarding bus stops and payment.


        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.


Reminder:
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!

Parents can come any time during that time period.  We will see each family individually, and we should need only five minutes of your time.  Parents do not need to come all at once at the start of the time period.  We can serve you as you come in because it will be individual meetings.


TIMES EACH DAY:  7:30am - 9-30am;    11:00am - 1:30pm   and  4:30pm - 6:30pm

MONDAY   AUGUST 10 - SENIORS

July 31st Parent Service Opportunity
We are hosting a Parent Service Day on July 31st from 8:00 1:00 to help with a mailing for our Capital Campaign.  Volunteers only need to be able to stuff envelopes:  a perfect job for everyone.  Please email Sister Ellen Marie if you are interested in helping:  ehagar@setonhs.org


August 8th Parent Service Day
We will host a Parent Service Day on August 8 from 8:00 am to 1:00pm.
We will be doing the final preparations for the opening of school.  Parents who wish to help should 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!
