8. 2015-2016 School Year
Planning – Thank you to those of you who have
already turned in your registration materials.
If you have lost yours, please contact the office. We are still waiting on a few registrations. If you could complete the forms and return
them to the office as soon as possible, that will help us with planning for the
2015-16 school year.
The tuition assistance application process
is different this year. All Saints
Academy will be using "FAIR" (Financial Aid Independent Review Inc.) FAIR is a nationally recognized leader in
financial aid assessments for private and parochial schools. The online application is easy to
complete. There is a $30/family processing
fee. Contact the office if you would
like the directions to apply for tuition assistance.
Thank you for being a part of All Saints
Academy. It works because we all care and work together.
9. Lunch Accounts – Please take a moment to look at your child/ren’s
lunch accounts online. You may add money
to your child/ren’s account anytime by sending a check or cash to the office
and indicate which child’s account the money should be credited. Currently, we have several accounts that have
a negative balance. If your child has
more than one month of unpaid lunches (-$48.00,) the school will be unable to
provide a full hot lunch to the student.
(The student may receive a sandwich and milk from school.) Please
contact the office if you need to make payment arrangements as soon as possible
if you have a negative balance. Once
payment arrangements are in place, the school will be able to offer hot lunch.
