From the Principal...
Hello Seton Families,
The cost to educate each child at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School is roughly $8,550. What isn’t covered by tuition dollars must be made up through financial aid grants, Parish subsidies, and fundraising. Therefore, timely action on your part helps us to ensure that our expenses can be covered for the school year. If your child is entering grades 4K, K, or 1 we strongly encourage you to apply for the Wisconsin School Choice Program at https://dpi.wi.gov/sms/choice-programs/student-applications BEFORE applying for other financial aid. If you qualify your child will receive free, rather than discounted, tuition. This also frees up more financial aid dollars for families whose children do not fall into the School Choice window. Even if you have never applied for financial aid in the past, please consider applying if the tuition increases create a financial burden for your family. Refusal to apply for financial assistance in a timely manner may result in denial of financial assistance. We are happy to assist you with any financial aid applications.
One of the critical pieces for every family is registration in the FACTS system. Whether you pay in full, make payments, or receive aid it is important that every Seton School family registers. We need to use the payment information in the FACTS system to track our tuition income and to stay in compliance with financial regulations. This should be done as early as possible. Assistance with this process is also available in the office. We ask that everyone is registered in FACTS before June 1, 2020. Without a family FACTS registration, your child’s school registration will not be accepted.
Important deadlines are:
- HREN Foundation Due April 17, 2020 (Apply online via FACTS)
- Wisconsin School Choice Program (Open enrollment is February 3 through April 16, 2020.
- Register in FACTS for tuition payments by June 1, 2020.
If you have questions about financial aid or FACTS, please contact me by email at nardis@sheboyganseton.org. We wish you all safe and healthy days ahead. May God bless you all. St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, pray for us.
Sincerely,
Dr. Stephanie Nardi, Principal
