Two weeks left of this school year! There is a PTO meeting tonight. There is also a parent meeting on Wednesday to go over changes for next year. I look forward to seeing you then. On Sunday we will be celebrating the final procession of the Holy Ghost Feast. All students are asked to come, process in full uniform from Rogers Funeral Home at 10:30 and attend Mass at 12. There will be a meal in the school hall following Mass. There will be a dress down day on Monday 6/12 for all participants.

Do not forget the Foxwoods trip planned for June 24. It is yet another way to support our school. I am looking forward to my first experience there and I hope you will join me.

Please look into any outstanding financial obligations as the end of the school year approaches. It is necessary for us to close the books on this year’s budget before the new fiscal year begins on July 1. All payments (tuition, daycare, lunch, fundraising, service) can be submitted to Mrs. Ouellette in the office.

Tuition payments for next year must be made through FACTS. This is a tuition management system that SMS has used in the past and one that is used and trusted throughout the Fall River Diocese. I have used it, myself, to pay tuition for my four children and have had no issues. It is imperative that families register for this now as we need to set up the system for the coming year. Registering is a separate process from the FACE Application and requires you to enter your information for monthly payments. Follow the link on the front page of the website to sign up for FACTS for next year. Registration for next year is now overdue. Please return the registration form this week to secure your child’s spot. If there are any questions about the process or signing up for FACTS tuition management, please call the office. Log into https://online.factsmgt.com/signin/3GHR0 to register on FACTS.
