February 15 - 8th Grade Confirmation Retreat
Our Races postponed from January 31, 2020 have been moved to Thursday, February 20, 2020- out of uniform day
Congratulations 7th grade!
We would also like to give a shout out to 4th grade. While they didn't have the most amount of pennies, they had so much silver money that they brought in a large amount of money. They will receive a treat as well.
Mardi Gras Carnival Sign up!
School Registration for 2020-2021
Parents- Register by April 10th to pay the reduced registration fee of $100. Registration on April 10th will increase to $150. Also, refer a friend! The biggest compliment we can get is by your reference. If you are listed as a family that refers another family that decide to attend DP school, you will receive a Spring 2021 credit of $500! You can earn more than one credit!
Students - students that are registered will have a car with their name on it in the hallway. They will also receive out of uniform passes! The earlier you register, the more out of uniform passes your child can get! (Passes are good on Mondays to April 6th) First out of uniform is February 3rd. If you pay your registration fee this weekend and send your form in Monday, your child can be out of uniform on Monday (This weekend only, since we had the crazy Friday!) The first class to get 100% will win a class prize.
Race to Registration!
Warm Winter clothing
Tuition Referral Credit!
A $500 credit will be issued in the spring of the new school year to any family who refers another family to Divine Providence School as long as the following stipulations are met: the referral family must be listed by the referred family on the school registration form; the referred family must attend Divine Providence for the entire school year; if more than one family is listed on the referred family’s registration form, the credit will be divided equally; both the referral family and the referred family must be current on tuition in order to receive the referral credit

What about the weather?
Typically, you would get notified about students not coming to school through several different forms of communication- email, text message and phone call. While we try to give as much notice as possible if we think the school will be closed, it can come as late as one hour before school starts. ***Just because students do not report to school, doesn't mean they don't have work to do! Per an earlier newsletter, we have introduced "Alternative Learning Days". Students will have work either posted online or sent in an email regarding what work needs to be done. This link will take you back to beginning of the school year about "Alternative Learning Days"
