The deadline for financial aid applications for the 2013-2014 school year is Friday, March 1. This is a firm deadline. All families who received any type of assistance, financial aid or scholarship for the 2012-2013 school year, and who wish to apply for monies for the 2013-2014 school year must reapply to be eligible for consideration. To apply, please log on to the FACTS Tuition Grant and Aid website at www.factstuitionaid.com. Hard copies of the application paperwork are available in the school office. There is a $30 application fee for both the online or hard copy application. Please do not wait. The time to apply is NOW, as all related paperwork – W-2’s, tax returns, supporting schedules – need to be submitted by each applicant, and verified by FACTS by the March 1^st deadline. We will have very limited ability to help you if you do not fill out and submit the appropriate paperwork. Please contact Patty Bajek at (630) 961-6125, or pbajek@ascacademy.org with any questions.

There is a Change to the Master Calendar – PLEASE TAKE NOTE

All Saints was one of several schools selected to participate in an in-service sponsored by the University of Notre Dame. The in-service will offer strategies to meet the needs of diverse learners whether the diversity is cultural or intellectual.  We are excited to have this opportunity.  It does mean, however, that our students will not be in session on Monday, February 25^th.  You will notice that, with Presidents’ Day a week earlier, we will have two Mondays in a row off. We would never plan that when we build a master calendar; but, it is what happens when such an opportunity is offered unexpectedly. I appreciate your understanding.

Our Spring Picture Day is scheduled on Friday, March 8^th for all preschool through Grade 8 students.  Preschool 3 year old and Pre Kindergarten students are invited to come to ASCA to be photographed on March 8.  All students will be out of uniform and photographed by Lifetouch on Friday, March 8, and are invited to wear something appropriate that might allow you the option to purchase the perfect photos to send to family and friends at Easter time.  There will be no preorders, or retakes if you miss the day.  A Reminder Flyer is being sent home with all oldest and only students today.  A Picture Day Pose Selection Form will be sent home next week.

Picture packages will be sent home with your student once ASCA has received them from Lifetouch. At the time you receive your photo package, you will have the option to do one of the following: 1. send the entire package back, 2. purchase selected sheets in the package, or 3. purchase the entire photo package.
