New Family/Student Scholarships ๐
We have been approved for our NEI (New Enrollment Initiative) Scholarships! This is for any new families at our school OR if you already had a child at our school and are enrolling their sibling.
Applications are available in the front office with Miss Jasmine. Please make sure you are completing and submitting these as quickly as possible. The faster we submit the applications, the faster you will know if you have been given the scholarship.
I recommend that all new families or families who are enrolling a sibling come in to complete an application. Along with the application, you must submit proof of income.
Miss Jasmine will be making calls to remind you to submit your application.
Summer Snapshots ๐
Though we can't wait for school to begin, we hope everyone is enjoying their summer so far! We would love to know what our St. Anthony families are up to this summer break! If you are interested, please share your summer adventures with Miss Dueรฑas (via email) so that they may be posted on our school's Instagram. Let's make our feed as fun and sunny as your break! ๐ด๐โจ
Tuition and Registration ๐ค
Thank you to everyone making their tuition payments. We have quite a few families that have not yet completed their registration packet. Please come in and do so ASAP. We would like to get our emergency binders ready for the new school year.
Tuition is due the first of every month. If you have not yet paid tuition, you can pay online, call the front office, or come in and pay in person. If you have already paid, thank you so much!
Additionally, if you have not yet registered your child/ren you can do that as well. Registration is $350. Your child will not be on the class roster until registration is paid.
If you refer anyone to our school, we accept them, and they register, you will receive one month free of tuition per child registered!
Summer office hours are Monday - Thursday 9 am - 1 pm.
