School Track Meet Volunteers Needed!

The school track meet will be held Friday, April 23 on the school campus. 5th - 8th events will be held in the morning and 1st-4th grades in the afternoon. We could still use a couple of volunteers for the afternoon shift - 12pm-2:30pm. If you are able to volunteer, please email Liz Metz at lizandgregm@gmail.com.

If your family is in need of financial assistance for the 2021-22 school year, you need to complete the FACTS Grant & Aid application by April 30. Families that have received aid in the past must complete another application to be eligible for aid for next year.

Instructions to Apply for Financial Assistance

• Log into your ParentsWeb account

• Select the Financial option from the left toolbar.

• Under the Financial Links section, select Apply for Grant & Aid

A new screen will open to log into FACTS. This is different from your login for ParentsWeb. If you have applied for financial aid before, you should already have a FACTS login. If you have not, then you will need to create a new login.

If you are trying to qualify for the Catholic parishioner rate, we have two different forms. One is for parishioners of St. Eugene and the other is for active parishioners of all other local Catholic parishes. Please contact our Tuition Director, Liz Metz, if you need either form. They are not available online.

Eat & Earn at Belle Isle Restaurant & Brewery! Wed., April 21st from 5-9pm. Just mention our name and a percentage of the sales will go back to our school.

Eat & Earn at Johnnie’s! Dine in or order out from Johnnie’s (both Britton and N. May locations) all day on Wednesday, April 28th. Mention St. Eugene when you order so a portion of proceeds come back to our school!

New Spirit Wear is In! Our new spirit wear looks so good! PTO has extras of all designs, but with limited sizes available for purchase. To purchase, send an email to pto@steugeneschool.org.

Cookbooks are Here! With more than 150 recipes to tantalize your taste buds, how could you stand to miss out on the CSSE Collaborative Cookbook?!? Ragin' Cajun Boudin Bake, The BEST Crockpot Chicken, Crustless Quiche, The BEST Chocolate Chips EVER and The WORST EVER Chocolate Chip Cookies are just a few of the awesome recipes you'll want to try. Order a copy at http://bit.ly/cssecooks. Send a check to the school office (made out to CSSE PTO) or send payment via venmo @CSSE-PTO-19.

If you have questions about fundraisers, Eat & Earns, etc, visit the PTO site or Facebook group for more info.

We are so proud of our Eagles and Eagle alumni!

Let us know about your student's achievements or give a shout out to a staff member so we can celebrate their Eagle Excellence!

Parents/guardians may now sign up to attend school masses in limited numbers. Because our school mass is closed to non-school related guests at this time, you MUST sign up on the sign up link by 5pm the day BEFORE the mass you want to attend. We will have someone checking off names and taking temperatures in the narthex before mass.

Lunchroom Volunteers Needed. We are in need of help in the lunchroom once a week! Sign up for a shift or two to help monitor students, pass out condiments, and wipe down tables between lunch periods. 11am-1pm on Fridays. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090C4BABA72FA2F85-friday

Refer Your Friends! We are currently accepting new student applications for the coming school year. We love it when our current school families help us bring new students to The Catholic School of St. Eugene! To show our appreciation, we created a referral program. Check it out at this link!
