Raising kids in a digital age isn't easy
Make your own family media use plan. Media should work for you and within your family values and parenting style. When used thoughtfully and appropriately, media can enhance daily life. But when used inappropriately or without thought, media can displace many important activities such as face-to-face interaction, family-time, outdoor-play, exercise, unplugged downtime and sleep. Make your plan at HealthyChildren.org/MediaUsePlan.
On your way to school, avoid giving your child a device. Rather, have a conversation, read street/business signs, practice multiplication facts, listen to an audio book. This helps supports the student's academic goals and enhances creativity.

scholarship information for 2022-2023
Family Empowerment Scholarship for Students with Unique Abilities (FES-UA) (Formerly Gardiner or McKay Scholarships) allows parents of students with unique abilities to personalize the education of their children by directing scholarship dollars toward St. Joseph Catholic School. This would include any student with an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or a qualifying documented disability from a licensed physician. Many diagnoses by a physician qualify, including anaphylaxis, autism, intellectual disability, and other health impairment; i.e. ADD, Asthma, and Type 1 Diabetes. On average, this scholarship is $10,000.
Additionally, all children in a family who have a sibling on the FES-UA scholarship, regardless of income, will qualify for a “Family Empowerment Scholarship for Educational Options” (FES-EO).
Family Empowerment Scholarship for Educational Options (FES-EO) and the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship Program give parents the ability to choose a school that best meets their children’s needs by providing a scholarship to attend St. Joseph Catholic School. Eligibility is determined by household income. For example, a family of four in the 2021-22 school year could make almost $100,000 annually and qualify. For applications for the 2022-23 school year, we are anticipating a family of four could make almost $112,000 annually and qualify. These numbers are not usually finalized until later in the year. Dependent children of a reservist or an active-duty military member of the United States Armed Forces automatically qualify for this scholarship based on his or her parent’s service to our country, regardless of income. On average, this scholarship is $7,000.
