Family Messenger, February 22, 2011


Lord God,
You who made us so wonderfully,
give us wise hearts.
Help us to recognize goodness,
to desire holiness, and to pursue justice.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.


A Message from the Principal

In this week’s envelope, you will find the 2011-2012 Tuition and Fees Schedule as recommended by the school finance committee. The new tuition schedule reflects an approximate 3% increase for participating parishioners and an approximate 6% increase for non-parishioners. Please take note of the changes to the Scrip mandatory contribution (increase from $200 to $250) and the Auction raffle tickets (decrease from $150 to $100).

The re-registration period for returning students ends next Friday, March 4. New student testing will take place this Saturday, and admissions letters will be sent out based on the number of open seats available after March 4. If you intend to return for the coming school year, please be sure to have your re-registration form in by March 4 to reserve your place in the class.

Thank you,


Ms. Olivia Carrillo
Principal

Catholic Education Foundation Tuition Awards

The Catholic Education Foundation (CEF) offers tuition assistance to elementary school students and their families each year. In previous years, the CEF has posted income guidelines to determine eligibility for assistance. This year, the CEF is not posting income guidelines and is encouraging any family in need of assistance to apply. If you would like to obtain a CEF application, please contact Mrs. Fenton in the business office. All applications and supporting documents must be received by the school no later than Monday, March 21, 2010 for processing.

Science Fair
Science projects will be on display all week, with a special evening viewing on Thursday at 6:00 p.m. Come see the projects and earn a free dress pass! Winning boards will be labeled for the viewing. Thank you to Mrs. Delcia Witty –Sampson and all judges for their assistance with the fair!

Scrip Tip

Today, you should be receiving a Scrip Profit Statement. Please check it over and come see us if you have any questions (remember we're volunteers/human and we do make mistakes). Many of you are doing a wonderful job of using this program. Keep up the good work. For those of you who are struggling to reach your profit goal of $200, there is still time. We're happy to offer suggestions to you if you need help and selling to friends/family/co-workers/neighbors is a great way to up your profits quickly.

Auction Dinner Dance

The Auction Dinner Dance and Raffle tickets invoices were mailed out last week via U.S. Mail and are due now. The Auction Event tickets are mandatory; however, if you would prefer to sell the raffle tickets please call Mrs. Fenton so she can make the change on your account.

Scholastic Book Fair

Scholastic Book Fair is coming next week! Volunteers are still needed for each day, especially for Monday, February 28th, 8:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. to set up the fair. Please email Mrs. Hihn at nhihn@incaschool.org for availability. Hope to see you at the Green Eggs and Ham dinner honoring Dr. Seuss on Wed. March 2nd at 6 – 8:00 p.m. The Book Fair will be open during the dinner.
