Dear SPC Families,
SPC students raised $2500 for Brendan, the second grader from St. Robert Bellarmine who is battling brain cancer. And a Pokemon present! Thanks to everyone for their generosity!
We are looking forward to hosting Trivia Night tomorrow; I've heard about some of the fun table themes planned. It promises to be a great evening of fellowship supporting our endowment. Thank you to the Endowment Committee for all their hard work preparing the evening.

RE-REGISTRATION FOR THE 22-23 School Year:
It is that time of year again when we begin re-registration for our current families. It will come as no surprise that our enrollment is full. Please carefully note the timeline below. Next week we will send a separate email with all necessary re-enrollment information. I will also send the 22-23 Tuition and Tentative School Calendar. I can't begin to tell you how many admissions phone calls we field each week. The secret is out SPC is the PLACE TO BE! It is important that you secure your spot by the deadline on January 28, 2022.
Re-enrollment timeline:
November 1-November 15
Priority Early Childhood admissions for siblings of current families. If you have a 3-year-old ready for school---sign them up now to secure their space.
November 15- December 15 Re-enrollment for current school families opens for the 22-23 school year!
COST: Earlybird fee of $75/child
December 16-January 28th- Registration fee increases to $125/student.
After January 28: We begin accepting students based on the availability of space. Fee increases to $175/child. Based on the availability in current grade levels, do not wait this long; you risk losing your spot.
COVID VACCINATION AND CHILDREN:
Now that the Covid Vaccine has been approved for emergency use in 5-11-year-olds, we strongly encourage you to discuss the vaccine with your child's pediatrician. When your child becomes fully vaccinated, please remember to drop off a copy of the vaccination card in the main office. We need a copy so that if the need arises to quarantine close contacts, your child will not need to quarantine if they are fully vaccinated.
