Dear Families,

We are excited that today begins the re-enrollment process for you, current school parents. Today, all school families will receive a hard copy of the instructions for re-enrolling for 2022-23 in the Red Envelope. You will also find the instructions below in today's bulletin.

The deadline to complete your re-enrollment is February 18th – you won’t want to procrastinate since current families who re-enroll by the 18th save $125 on their registration fee and will be guaranteed a spot for next year. Don’t delay because we have many prospective new families wanting to join the St. Louise community and we will begin accepting new students shortly after February 18th.

I know that enrolling your child at St. Louise is a big commitment of both time and treasure for your family. Here are some reasons why St. Louise School is worth it!

#5 – More than just the 3 “R’s” your children learn at any school (Reading, ‘Riting, ‘Rithmetic), at St.

Louise they learn a total of 6 “R’s”, as we are able to add Religion, Respect, Responsibility.

#4 – St. Louise graduates are accepted to the finest, college-prep high schools and are well prepared for the rigors of secondary education.

#3 – Paying for your child to be educated at St. Louise is a sound investment in your child’s future.

#2 – The St. Louise teachers and staff are second-to-none in the skills they bring to their jobs and the concern they have for your kids.

And the #1 reason you should re-enroll your children in St. Louise is…

#1 - Christ is the reason for our school. He is the unseen but ever-present teacher in every classroom. He is the model for our faculty and the inspiration for our students.

In addition to receiving your re-enrollment instructions today, I would like to provide information on applying for a tuition assistance grant. Please go HERE for tuition assistance information. We certainly wouldn’t want a family to choose to not return to St. Louise School simply due to the assumption that it might be impossible on the family budget to pay tuition. We purposely work at building up our tuition assistance account exactly for this reason of making sure a family who desires a Catholic school education can get financial help if they are facing a difficult financial situation. Thanks to generous contributions from school supporters such as many school parents, our Father Phil Wallace Tuition Assistance Endowment Fund is around $2,700,000, and thus is generating enough interest income each year for us to be able to provide financial aid to over 10% of our student population.

Besides scholarships helping to make St. Louise accessible, we are proud that our 2022-23 tuition rates continue to be one of the most affordable Catholic or private school educations on the Eastside! With this welcome news, I hope you won’t delay in finishing your re-enrollment paperwork and paying your $95 re-application fee by the deadline of February 18th. Again, please realize that after the 18th, we’ll start filling open roster spaces to newly enrolling families, and the fee increases to $220.

Congratulations in your wise investment in your children’s future through your re-enrolling them for a St. Louise School Catholic education!
