School Fees Day will be Monday, August 20, 2007 from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. OR 6:30 TO 7:30 P.M. in Kane Hall.  All school families must attend School Fees Day to pay the balance of their fees and the first month’s tuition, regardless if they pre-registered.  If you are not going to be in town on this date, please call the school office (773-445-4737), and we will make arrangements to accommodate you AFTER this date. 

Parents of all new pre-school and kindergarten students: the school office must have your child’s enrollment form, birth and baptismal certificates, updated medical and dental forms and parish identification number on file before the start of the school year in August in order to secure a place in class.  To aid you in this task, postcards were sent in June to let you know exactly what was missing from your child’s file.  Please complete this information as soon as possible.  You may mail papers to the school office or leave them in an envelope (marked for the attention of the School Office) at the rectory.

All 5th grade students need to submit their updated medical and dental forms (forms were sent home with students in May for your convenience).  This may be done on School Fees Day or at the very latest, before October 1, 2007. Additional medical and dental forms are available in the school office.

Any family with an outstanding tuition balance from the previous 2006-2007 school year is not considered registered for the upcoming school year until all previous bills are paid. Balances should be paid in full before August 1, 2007.  If you have any questions, please call the parish business manager, Mr. Emmett Williamson, 445-6565.

 The Hot Lunch Program will not begin until Monday, October 1, 2007.  Order forms will be distributed to the classrooms after the start of the school year.  Milk and water will be available as of Tuesday, Sept. 4th.  Students should bring their bag lunches to school on all full days of school in September.

 Students (K through 8th) should be in full uniform for the first day of school, August 27th.  Khaki or navy walking shorts or capris are part of the school uniform and may be worn until October 1st.  Cargo shorts are not allowed.  Walking shorts cannot be more than 2 inches above the knee.

 Schools Are Us, 3146 W. 111th Street, Chicago, IL (773)779-0172,  and Martinelli’s, 3517 W. 95th Street, Evergreen Park, IL (708) 425-6287 will carry school uniforms.  Both stores suggest shopping early to avoid the crowds later in the summer.

 Gym uniforms will not be sold on School Fees Day this year.  Gym uniforms will be available on a designated evening after the start of school.  We hope to have a full inventory that will allow for “cash and carry” purchases.
