REGISTRATION FOR THE 2020-2021 SCHOOL YEAR:
At this time, registration is OPEN for all NEW students to the school.   If you are a PK4/UPK student planning on attending our Kindergarten program, you must complete a NEW registration application online.  Any family who is enrolling a NEW sibling into any grade and/or any family who is NEW to the school, can complete a registration application online at this time.  You can go to our website and click on the Admissions drop down and click the Admission Application link or go to www.ApplyCatholicSchoolsNY.org
 
Registration for RETURNING students has not yet opened for the 2020-2021 school year.  As soon as we get information for our returning families, we will let everyone know. 
 
BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION:
Don’t forget to send in your Box Tops!  Each homeroom has been given their own container in which to collect their Box Tops.  At the end of each month, the class with the most Box Tops will be given a free snack at lunch. 
 
SCRIP ORDERS:
Our next Scrip order will be due Friday, January 10^th.  We do have some random gift cards available in the Main Office and we always have Shop Rite cards on hand.  Remember a percentage of each card is credited back to your mandatory fundraising fee.
 
CALENDAR RAFFLES:
Our Calendar Raffle has begun.  Winners are picked on a daily basis.  A list of winners will be sent home in the Thursday folders. 
This is a MANDATORY fundraiser for all families.  Each family is responsible for $200 worth of tickets.  The raffle makes up $200 worth of your REQUIRED $500 fundraising obligation. 
 
FUNDRAISING:
Mrs. Coburn will be sending home an updated Fundraising Totals Summary to all families the first week of February.  This will give all families an idea of where they stand on how much they still owe towards their $500 requirement.  We still have a few fundraisers coming that will be counted toward your totals.
All fundraising balances are due to the Main Office by May 29^th.
 
LATENESS:
Please make sure that when dropping off a student late, an adult brings the student to the Main Office and signs him/her in.  Also, if your child is going to be late and wants to order lunch, please call the Main Office and let Mrs. Coburn know if you will be ordering lunch. 
 
SCRATCH OFF LOTTERY TICKETS:
The Dress Down Day for all students who brought in Scratch Off Lottery Tickets for our Pancakes with Santa and our Potluck Dinner will be MONDAY, JANUARY 13^th.  If you forgot to send in your Lottery Tickets, you have until tomorrow, Friday, January 10^th.
 
COLD WEATHER:
As the cold weather approaches, please make sure your child/ren are dressed appropriately.  We will continue to have recess outside as weather permits.
 
STUDENT ILLNESSES:
In the past few weeks, we have had many students come down with bad colds, coughs, stomach bugs and throat infections.    If your child is not feeling well, please consider keeping them home.  Many times, a child will come to school not feeling well and we have to call a parent to come pick them up.  If a child has a fever, they need to be fever free for 24 hours before returning to school. 
 
If your child is home sick and you would like homework sent home with a sibling or picked up, please call us by 9:00am and we will have it ready for dismissal. 
 
When your child returns to school from being out sick, remember we MUST have an absent note.  A parent or the doctor can write the note.
 
FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS:
It is very important that families remain up to date with all financial responsibilities.  It is imperative that families do their best to stay current with their tuition payments.  The next tuition payment is due January 20^th.
PLEASE NOTE:

• Families whose tuition payment is delinquent 60 days will receive a second letter; this letter will come from their principal. If a parent/guardian does not contact the principal within two weeks of receiving this letter, the child/children may not be permitted to attend classes.
• Records and report cards will not be transmitted at this time and financial aid/scholarships provided will be at risk and may be rescinded.
• Students with delinquent tuition payments may not participate in school activities (basketball, cheerleading, class trips, etc.) and graduation ceremonies.

Students will not receive Report Cards on Thursday, January 30^th unless all financial obligations are up to date.
