A Message from Mrs. Laidlaw Otto
Dear SJE Families,
With so much snow on the ground it’s hard to think about spring, much less the upcoming school year. However, we are definitely in the process of planning. This means that we are working on our calendar, budget and class lists.
Re-enrollment paperwork was sent out to families about three weeks ago, and our first Parental Choice enrollment period for the Milwaukee program has come and gone.
If you are a tuition-paying family and you think you might qualify for tuition assistance, I recommend you consider these options.
The first is our own Tuition Angel Fund. This fund was started in 2009 and is supported by our annual fundraiser. Over the past 12 years, we have dispersed more than $175,000 in tuition assistance to our families through the Angel Fund. Completed applications are due in the school office no later than Monday, May 3rd.
The second is the Father Grom Fund. This fund was originally designed to provide assistance to students attending Catholic high school, but has since been adjusted to include our students. In order to apply for this fund, your family must be registered, supporting members of the parish. Completed applications are due in the school office no later than Monday, May 3rd.
The third is the Saint Gerard Fund. This scholarship fund is for eligible students entering grades three through eight. Scholarships are awarded based on student and/or family volunteerism in the school, parish or community, academic achievement or demonstrated academic effort and financial need of the family. Completed applications for the St. Gerard Fund are due in the school office no later than April 16th.
Applications for all three of these scholarships are available on our school website by following the links included below.
We are so blessed by the generosity of our community. This is a true testament to support for our mission to educate our children in a faith-filled environment.
Mary Laidlaw Otto
