NEW INFORMATION ON PAYMENT OF STUDENT FEES - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY



The last day to pay your fees over the phone is tomorrow July 30.  Those who wish to do so must call Bernadette Wilson at 301-864-4532 ex. 7125.  Any parent who has not telephoned their fee payment in to Ms. Wilson must come in person to pay fees on one of the following days between 7:00 am and 7:00 pm:

                                       August 2, August 8, August 16

When you come to pay at school, you can pay by cash, money order, cashier's check or credit card.  WE DO NOT ACCEPT PERSONAL CHECKS!  All fees must be paid in order for a student to attend their orientation day or their first day of class.

 

School Calendar

 

The School Calendar can be found on the website (www.setonhs.org) under ABOUT US?

Or click here for a link to the calendar.

 

New Information on Used Books

 

If you missed the used book sale or you are in need of books because of a schedule change, used books will be available for your purchase on the fee days of August 2, 8 and 16.

 

Parent Service Day

 

We are going to have one big Parent Service Day on August 6 from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm for all those who would like to do some of their service hours and meet other parents.  We are looking for parents who can help paint the curbs and we are looking for a few parents to clean classrooms.  If you would like to participate, please email Sister Ellen Marie (ehagar@setonhs.org).  We prefer to have parents only as these are not good jobs for students.

 

Come and Celebrate

 

Seton Community, please mark your calendars for Sept. 14 from 6:30 to 8:30 pm,.  We are inviting you to join us for a school wide celebration of the Daughters of Charity on the feast of St. Elizabeth Seton.  More information will be coming, but please SAVE THE DATE and please plan on coming to a wonderful celebration.

 

Student Schedules

 

Dear Parents and Students:



      We are trying very hard to finish the migration of our database to a new system.  We have staff working around the clock as it is a huge project.  While this is happening, we ABSOLUTELY CANNOT ADDRESS SCHEDULE CHANGES.  We need your help, support, and understanding in this matter.

 

       If you are seeking a schedule change, you must wait until August 2, 8, or 16 when we can meet with you in person.  PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL GUIDANCE COUNSELORS OR OTHER STAFF ABOUT SCHEDULE CHANGES.   Our guidance staff does not work in the summer time and all emails are being lost and unaddressed.  Therefore, it is going to be impossible to help you when we do gain access to our system.



       We have made ourselves available to you for many long hours on the days set aside in August because we want to help you, but please accept that we cannot help you now. 



        I understand fully that you would like to have changes by the used book sale date or in time to pay fees, but we cannot get that done this year because of our system change.  Once we change the system, it will be so much easier for all.



        Any emergency questions, please email only me (ehagar@setonhs.org)



        Thank you for working with us when we need your support.

        Sister Ellen Marie
