EASTER FLOWERS…Be sure to order your Easter flowers from our SPPS Parents Club. An order form is attached.

FACTS…is Tuition Assistance through the Archdiocese….for the 2016-2017 school year. The deadline for applying is fast approaching….Online deadline is March 31st….Paper applications is March 15th. You must be Catholic to qualify. Please see the attached flyer for information on how to get on to the website and apply. Also, if you are going to be requesting tuition assistance through the school and you are NOT Catholic, you still need to apply to FACTS. It provides us with information to review our applicants so that we can disperse funds responsibly. Keep in mind, that if you are receiving tuition assistance through the school this year, it DOES NOT automatically rollover year to year. You have to apply to FACTS and meet with the principal each year. If you have any questions about this process, please contact the school office.

YEARBOOK INFO….This year we are excited to announce that you will be able to upload pictures directly to our yearbook program, Lifetouch Online Yearbooks. Uploaded pictures will be considered, but not necessarily guaranteed to be used in the yearbook. Thank you for your understanding. Here is the following link: community.lifetouch.com. The access code is KRJBZF. Follow the step online to begin the uploading process. Please upload high quality pictures in a JPEG format and select the best pictures from the particular event. For example, rather than uploading 20 pictures from the pumpkin patch, we are asking for 2-3 pictures. Photos need to be at least 300 dpi to ensure acceptable print quality. In other words, some phones and iPad photos will not work for this program. Also, please make sure to upload pictures to the correct online folder and please add a detailed description of the picture(s) being uploaded. Thanks you! If you have any questions, please email Mr. Williams at [email protected]. Thank you! Mr. Williams and Miss Benson, Yearbook Advisors.

SHOPAROO CONTEST…Keep snapping pictures of those receipts to support SPPS. The current SPPS parent or staff member who has brought in the most points for the month of March will win a Banker’s Cup coffee of their choice.
