Dear Assumption Family,

When I was appointed principal of Assumption Catholic School in July of 2015 I had the pleasure of meeting personally with Bishop Caggiano to discuss our mutual vision for the school.  One piece of advice he left me with has help guide me over the past four years. Bishop told me that affordability should not be the barrier stopping a family from providing a Catholic education for their children. He left me with a very straight forward, but difficult task:

"Any family that wants a Catholic education for their children should receive one, It is your job to make that possible" 

I believe that I have been guided by these words and I am committed to do anything in my power to make Assumption affordable for all current and future families. Please pay close attention to you emails as you will hear from our office, Foundations in Education, the CEO Foundation and any other organizations that may provide financial assistance to our families. 

To help you through this process I invite all families to attend our Financial Assistance Night this Thursday from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm in the Art Room at Assumption.  You will have the opportunity to complete the FACTS Grant & Aid Application, upload tax documents, and learn of other financial assistance opportunities. Please email Jody Gourley at, [email protected] if you plan to attend. Feel free to stop in anytime between 6 pm and 8 pm that night. Bring you 2018 tax return (1040), or your 2017 tax return (1040), and your 2018 W2 forms.

Assumption Catholic School follows the closure, delay, and early dismissal procedure of Fairfield Public Schools. This means that if Fairfield calls a weather related closure, Assumption will call the same closure. On rare occasions Assumption might deviate from Fairfield. We will never be open when Fairfield is closed, but we might close if we determine that conditions are unsafe for our students and staff, but Fairfield remains open. In this rare instance, you can watch NBC CT and look for Assumption Catholic School of Fairfield on the scrolling list or sign up for the text alert from NBC CT. You may also be notified directly from Assumption by text or email through our student information system as well as a post on our facebook page indicating the weather related closure, delay, or early dismissal. 

To receive text or email alerts regarding the closure, delay, or early dismissal of Assumption Catholic School, follow the link below and sign up for notifications by selecting Assumption Catholic School of Fairfield and Fairfield Public Schools as your home district.

Please remember that we have already used three emergency days this year. Although, we have not had any snow days as of yet, we used three days for the flood in September.  As a result our school year has been extended by three days. Our current last day of school is June 11, 2019. This will obviously change if we take more emergency day.

The Bishop's Scholarship Fund application process officially opened on Friday, February 1. All families that currently receive tuition assistance from Foundations in Education through the Bishop's Scholarship Fund should have received an email directly from FACTS to remind you to start the application process for 2019-20.

The link below provides further information about the tuition assistance process. 

Bishop's Scholarship Fund

Last year the BSF awarded over $190,000 in tuition assistance to Assumption families. I encourage all families to apply through FACTS, even if you think you will not qualify for assistance.  

No financial assistance of any kind can be awarded without a completed Grant and Aid Application!

The process is simple. 

1. You must login to the FACTS website and complete the Grant and Aid Application.
2. Complete the online application.
3. Upload your 2018 tax information.
4. Submit the application and documents and pay the $30 fee directly to FACTS.  

We will offer several Financial Aid Nights in the coming months to assist you in completing the process. Dates will be confirmed soon. Please feel free to contact the main office with any questions. We are here to help!
