St. Paul Panther Family,
As we prepare for Thanksgiving, I pray that each family in our school is open to the many blessings God wishes to give. Our hearts must be open to receive the gifts--Come, Lord Jesus!
Our Veteran's Day Ceremony was a beautiful event. May God bless America and those who continue to serve to protect our freedom.
In the Peace of Christ,
Sister Mary Lawrence, O.P.
Principal

Chick-fil-A Day is Wednesday, November 19. Your order must be in by Monday, November 17. We cannot accept late orders because we place our order on Monday. Follow the lunch ordering procedures above to purchase your Chick-fil-A lunch.
Please put your child's name in all of his or her clothes. We especially need names in all jackets and sweaters so that we can return them to the right student. Many times students have switched jackets without knowing they don't have the right one. If your child is missing an item, please inform their teacher and the office. Thank you!

Parents, please read the information below from the school handbook about our tuition policy.
Tuition and Fees Information
Each year tuition prices are set by St. Paul Parish.
Tuition: In enrolling your child in a Catholic school, you agree to certain important responsibilities. One of these responsibilities is timely tuition payments. School budgets depend on regular tuition payments by the parents or guardians in order to pay for operating expenses.
Delinquent Tuition: PreK families pay weekly. If payments are behind by one week, the family will receive a letter from the School Business Office. The letter will notify parents that their tuition is past due and will request payment by a certain date. The letter will also explain that the child may not return to school if the payment is not paid by that date.
K-8 families pay monthly. If payments are behind by one month, the family will receive a letter from the School Business Office. The letter will notify parents that their tuition is past due and will request payment by a certain date. The letter will also explain that the child may not return to school if the payment is not paid by that date.
Parents are responsible for keeping their accounts current. Student records (including report cards) will not be released, if the parent still has financial obligations owed to the school.
Fees: All fees are nonrefundable.
Textbooks: Students will reimburse the school for loss of or damage to textbooks or electronic equipment.
Returned Checks: A charge is assessed for each insufficient check received. If insufficient checks are received more than twice, all further payments must be made in cash.
Financial assistance is available for qualifying students. Applications are completed through FACTS.
Scholarships, financial awards, and payment plans are confidential and should not be discussed with other St. Paul families. Sharing of confidential information can forfeit your award.
