St. Paul Panther Family,
The Front Lawn Prayer Service was very beautiful! Thank you for coming and supporting our community in prayer. May God continue to protect and bless our schools in Memphis! Let us continue to pray for one another. September 15 begins Hispanic Heritage Month, and our teachers will be finding ways in their classrooms to celebrate Latino culture. We are so grateful for the many cultures represented in our St. Paul Panther Family. GO PANTHERS!
In the Peace of Christ,

5th-8th grade boys and girls basketball registration is open and ends September 26. At the end of registration, the basketball coaches will decide if there will be a try-out. If a student-athlete is considering participating, he or she will need a sport's physical to participate in conditioning and practices. Boys and girls basketball conditioning will be held on Tuesdays, from 2:30-4:45.
LET'S GO PANTHERS!!!
Help us raise money for our new playground! Please return the permission slip to school, and your child will bring home a box of chocolate bars to sell. This fundraiser will support our efforts to install a beautiful new playground for our K-5 students!
All lunch orders are placed on your FACTS account by creating a "web order" and ordering specific meals.
Orders must be placed the day before. Students who are absent cannot receive a refund. You can call the school by 10:00 AM to let us know you are coming for the lunch, and we will have one ready at the office.

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.
Students must be picked up at dismissal time. Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, students should be picked up by 3:30 PM. Tuesday, students should be picked up by 2:30 PM. If your child is not picked up on time, thre is a $15 fee for the first 5 minutes, and then an additional $1 per minute is added. Our before, after care, and Y-Care cannot accept drop in students.
All students should be in the correct uniforms starting Tuesday, September 2. We are aware that some items have not arrived. Please keep your child's teacher updated about items that have not been delivered. For specific uniform information, please click HERE.
As a reminder, please submit updated immunization forms if you have not done so this year.
Please notify the school office if your student is going to be absent from school for any reason. The office will inform your child’s teacher about his or her absence.

Student Illness
A child exhibiting any of the symptoms above may return to school if
they are fever free for 24+ hours without fever reducing medications AND their symptoms are improving.
