Information for the Week of October 21, 2019

St. Ursula School Information for Week of October 21, 2019: 

  1. Progress Report Conferences – This year conferences will be held on November 8.  We will have a 12:10 dismissal.  On Monday, October 28, 2019 you will receive a link so that you may sign-up for a conference.
  2. Tonight - Mothers’ Club Meeting - As the month of October is dedicated to breast cancer awareness, the Mothers’ Club would like to dedicate our second meeting to breast cancer awareness as well.  We invite all the wonderful women that care for our fabulous SUS students to our next meeting on Wednesday 10/23/19 in the school library at 6:45pm AND WEAR LOTS OF PINK.  We will provide food and beverages and bring you up to speed on our upcoming events.  It’s a great way to meet other moms, grandmothers and aunts throughout the school.  Please RSVP to mothersclub@stursula.org and we hope to see many of you there!
  3. Health Issues - We have had an occurrence of Hand Foot Mouth in the lower grades. This is a virus that is spread easily among school children. Please see the enclosed PDF for more information about this common virus. The most important thing for the wellness of your child, and all other classmates to achieve optimum wellness, is to keep your child home with any fever or symptoms of any illness.  If you have questions whether your child should be in school please refer to pages 24-26 in the Student/Parent Handbook.
  4. Halloween Dress-Up – Please see the attached flyer for guidelines for dressing up for Halloween.  We ask that each student participating make a donation of at least $.50.  The funds will be donated to SUS Faith in Action projects. 
  5. FACTS Tuition and Grant & Aid - Every 3 years the Archdiocese of Baltimore and FACTS Management Company enter into a new 3 year contract and finalize a new pricing agreement.  We have been very pleased with not only the products that FACTS has to offer, but also the dedicated service that they consistently provide.  Therefore we have renewed our contract once again. For the 20-21 school year the financial aid application will be $32 per application and $34 for the 21-22 and 22-23 school years. For payment plans there will be an increase of $2 ($45 or $47 depending on use of incidental billing) in the enrollment fee for families that have 3 or more payments on their payment plan (ex. Quarterly and monthly plans). There will not be a change of pricing for full pay.  The 2020-2021 FACTS Grant and Aid Application will open for ALL AOB school on Friday, November 1, 2019 and close on Saturday, February 29, 2020.
