Reminders & Announcements 

 

Structured Alternative Learning Days SAL Days - IMPORTANT - Please Read

All Saints Catholic School is among the schools in the Diocese of Fall River that are piloting Structured Alternative Learning (SAL) Days to take the place of some snow days. SAL Days, when designated, will count as school attendance days and therefore will not be required to be made up at the end of the school year.  This is a benefit to our families and staff who may have made vacation or other family plans which would be impacted by lengthy school year extensions.

Please note that paper copies of our first SAL Day packet was sent home on Friday, January 18.  Details and policies can be found on our website at:   https://ascsnb.org/sal-structured-alternative-learning-day

 

Technology and Students

Too often as a school we feel the impact of smartphones and social media on our students. Please take a moment to read this informative article:

FACE Scholarships for 2019-2020   - Applications are open! 

As there is a new timeline for the process, it is very important for you to apply in the next few weeks!

Please see the FACE website for more information -  https://www.face-dfr.org/how-to-apply/

Students entering Grades K - 8 in Fall 2019 are eligible.

The application deadline, with all documentation submitted, is February 15 -  much earlier than in past years, 

so if you are in need of this scholarship, PLEASE follow through on the application process on time!

 

Next week:

• We will be publishing registration and re-registration information for the 2019-2020 school year!  If you know of a family not attending ASCS, please encourage them to consider your school for their child!  
• The annual registration fee ($200 per family) will be posted to the accounts of all families who have students in P3 - Gr 7.  As of February 15, the fee is non-refundable/non-reversible, unless the parent has indicated in writing that their student will not be returning.
• Grade 8 families will be assessed a $200 Graduation fee, which covers many of the the Grade 8 Graduation expenses. All grade 8 financial obligations must be met in full by May 31st in order for students to participate in Graduation Week Activities and to receive their diploma at Graduation.

 

Please pray for our school, our students, and our families.  

 

Peace in Jesus and Mary,

Mrs. Susan Massoud
