Donations Requested
In honor of St George and St. Hubert, the 7th grade will be collecting toiletries of any size (including travel and sample size) from March 14th to April 14th. Donations should be placed in the collection boxes in the hallway. We will be giving all donations to Catholic Charities and The Mission.

Raising kids in a digital age isn't easy
Treat media as you would any other environment in your child's life. The same parenting guidelines apply in both real and virtual environments. Set limits; kids need and expect them. Know your children's friends, both online and off. Know what platforms, software, and apps your children are using, what sites they are visiting on the web, and what they are doing online.

scholarship renewals for 2022-2023
Families currently receiving any of the scholarships through the School Choice Office will need to complete an "Intent to Continue" electronic application for the coming school year. We anticipate that opportunity will come for families in April. If you are already receiving one of these scholarships, please watch your email in the coming weeks for information from School Choice.
scholarship opportunities for 2022-2023
The first step for all families interested in securing financial aid will be to apply through the School Choice Office. The SJCS Scholarship Committee will not review your FACTs Grant and Aid application until you have applied through the School Choice Office and provide us with documentation that you do not qualify.
The School Choice Office provides scholarships for families based on financial need. A family of four could have an income up to $111,000 to be eligible.
Again, they are not accepting applications quite yet. However, you can go to the website and request an email notification once applications are available. Visit stepupforstudents.org for more information.
