FJVD Weekly Info...
We Live the Word!
Friday, November 9, 2018
We recognize and appreciate the financial commitment our families make to send their children to Father John V. Doyle School. In an effort to keep tuition affordable for all, families are encouraged to consider the different options available for tuition assistance. Prospective families are also strongly encouraged to complete the tuition assistance process! You may be surprised at how affordable a quality Catholic education can be!
The Diocese of Providence has a Tuition Assistance Program for families of modest means. To apply for tuition assistance for the 2019-2020 school year, please complete the application found on the FACTS Management website, www.online.factsmgt.com. The application process opened on November 1 and the deadline for applications is February 15. Requests for assistance without first completing the application cannot be considered for awards.
If you are a Saints John & Paul parishioner in good standing, you are eligible for the parish tuition rate which is a discount of $600 per K-8 student. In addition, parishioners in good standing are also eligible for tuition assistance in addition to the parish rate. To receive an award through SSJP, the FACTS Management application www.online.factsmgt.com must first be completed.
Parishes without schools offer financial assistance to their parishioners. If you know a member of a Catholic church in Rhode Island which does not have its own school, please suggest that they make an appointment to speak with the Pastor of their home parish for more details.

Rachel's Challenge Event on November 14, 2018
Rachel's inspiring story provides a simple yet powerful example of how small acts of kindness and acceptance motivate us to consider our relationships with the people we come in contact with every day. Rachel's Challenge renews our hope that our life has meaning and purpose. Rachel's story gives us permission to start our own chain reaction of kindness and compassion, which positively affects the climate in our schools and communities.
Father John V. Doyle School will be hosting two student presentations during the school day on Wednesday, November 14th, with one geared more to the elementary students, and the other to the middle school students. Please feel free to contact Mrs. Smith if you have any questions or concerns regarding the program.
There will also be a special Community Event/Presentation for adults on November 14 in the school gym from 6:30-7:30pm. We invite all of our FJVD parents, families, and friends to join us.
FJVD is forming a Robotics Club!

RI Catholic School Parent Federation
The Rhode Island Catholic School Parents Federation organizes parents to assure equal opportunities for quality education to all who desire it. It is committed to educating, advocating and mobilizing Catholic school parents, public policy-makers and the public at large to ensure that Catholic school students and parents receive all the rights and privileges to which they are entitled.
