This has been an unprecedented year in so many ways. In spite of perhaps the most challenging academic year of our lives, our students, parents, volunteers, teachers and staff have persevered with grace, humility and tenacity. I am so proud of the dedication of our teachers and their commitment to providing in-person and remote learning for our students. I am so proud of our students for the positive energy they bring to our school despite the anxiety, fear and uncertainty many may be experiencing. And, I am so proud of our parent community and grateful for your continued support for our teachers, your grace, your patience, and the love you have for our precious St. Cecilia Catholic School.

We are proud of what we are accomplishing at St. Cecilia, but even more excited for what is yet to come. With the growth that our school is experiencing, and the continued demand for our program and values, we are pleased to bring even more improvements to St. Cecilia as we enter into the 2021-2022 school year. To continue supporting our students and teachers in the classroom we are looking to hire a Literacy Coach, and Math Coach, and a STREAM Integration Teacher in the new year. In addition, over the summer of 2021, we anticipate continuing with our campus improvements including finishing the final phase of improvements to our 21st Century Learning Commons and initiating upgrades to our playgrounds.

As we turn our sights to the new school year, please find below the 2021-2022 school year one-page calendar. While this calendar is subject to change, and we are still unsure how different schools will continue to look in the future, we felt it prudent to plan and prepare for next year as best we can. This calendar is being published in accordance with a school year timeline we just received this week from the Catholic Schools Office. As you will see in the calendar, our plan for the next school year is to return to an August through May timeline. If there are any changes to this calendar, we will communicate those as soon as we can.

We continue to have incredible interest in our school during this current admissions season. Just since our return to school for the second semester, the number of applications we have received has increased by 60%. To ensure your child(ren)’s placement and continued success next school year, please complete the online re-enrollment process (see below in this email for more information) by midnight on Monday, February 8, 2021.

Thank you, again, for entrusting us with the care, education, and formation of your most precious child(ren). We look forward to continuing to serve you and your family. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly should you have any questions or concerns.

Warm regards and blessings,

Jeff Matthews

Principal

We are pleased to share the 2021-2022 Tuition Schedule. Many items will continue to remain the same:

1 Child -  $12,230

1 Child -   $9,600

2 Children - $18,240

3 Children - $26,400

4 Children - $34,080

5 Children - $41,280

We realize that this 2020 - 2021 school year has been unlike others in the past, and many volunteer opportunities did not occur this year. However, some programs such as HSA, HSA Room Parents, HSA Door Decorating, Booster Club, School Board, and other HSA Committees did have some volunteer opportunities this year, and we would like to track those hours. Filling out this form will greatly help the school account for the many, many volunteer hours parents give to the school each year. We also report this information to the parish, which then counts towards the in-parish tuition discount.
