Good News for Next School Year (2017/2018)
As we plan our future at Ss. Peter and Paul Catholic School, we continue to focus on forming disciples of Jesus Christ, providing opportunities for faith formation and academic excellence…in short, developing the hearts, minds and souls of our children and their families.
Many exciting and new prospects are presented during this time of change and transition.
One very positive note is that for the next school year (2017 / 2018) the financial commitment from families will remain the same. The only difference is that the fundraising amount currently required will be included in the financial contribution. No more tracking dollars, no more confusion or surprises.
Example: Currently, tuition for one child is $3,200 + $250 in fundraising = $3,450
Next Year (2017 / 2018) for one child $3,450
In order to continue to provide a quality experience and keep your contribution at this rate, family engagement and support of events and activities is still a very essential part of our school life. We truly need your help moving into the future. With the involvement and support of your family, friends, ideas and participation, we can continue the great traditions and create new ones here at Ss. Peter and Paul Catholic School.
