Weekly Update
March 12, 2025
From the Office
This January we moved to a "continuous enrollment" process for currently enrolled students. We are now ready to assess the registration fees. These will be added to your incidental expenses (the same way we do lunch and extended care). They will not automatically be paid from your account, except if you have lunch and extended care process in that way. This means that you will need to login to your FACTS account to pay the fees. These have a due date of April 17th.
Next Monday is St. Patrick's Day, so the kids are able to dress in casual GREEN clothing to celebrate.
Next Wednesday is St. Joseph's Day and we will celebrate with wearing a RED SHIRT over our uniform pants.
Registration Information (repeated from a previous communication)
REGISTRATION FEES
We will be assessing registration fees this week for the 2025-2026 school year. These fees are $75 assessed per student and will be billed in the same manner as lunch and extended care fees.
RETURNING STUDENTS
This year utilized a new registration format for students returning to Aquin. This year we used a “continuous enrollment” model. The continuous enrollment model assumes that you will be remaining at Aquin unless you indicate to us that you will not be returning for the 2025-2026 school year.
If you have any questions regarding re-registration, please contact the school office.
NEW STUDENTS
New Student registration for current families with an additional child(ren), will be available in the Parent FACTS Portal. Sign is as usual, and it will be a menu item on the left side of the screen (Apply/Enroll). It is best to do this process on a desktop computer NOT a cell phone. If you need access to a computer, please contact the office and we will make arrangements for you to use one of ours.
Other new students should be directed to our school website (www.aquinschools.org) to complete the application process.
FINANCIAL AID APPLICATIONS
Financial Aid applications are also open in the Family Portal. Use the menu on the left to go to the "Financial" section. Then click on it. The Financial Aid Application is a link on the right side at the bottom. If you need assistance with the financial aid application or uploading documents, please contact the school office. We will be happy to assist you.
The deadline for the Financial Aid Application is March 31, 2025. If you need more time, please contact the school office.
