It is time to start thinking about enrollment for the 2024-2025 school year.  This process will be a little different this year so please read carefully.  

Many of you are familiar with the FACTS Management System for tuition payments and tuition assistance applications.  This year Saint Gabriel School and Preschool will be transitioning to utilizing FACTS for enrollment as well.  FACTS will replace the online registration system/ mailed tuition agreements that we used in the past, and families will use your same FACTS login.  The hope is to streamline the registration experience for families.
