Whether traveling north or south or just staying in town, I hope you have some sunshine, solid family time, and a few laughs and smiles. I will see you again on Monday, April 7th, as we return for a full day of school. Again, be safe and happy. Sincerely –Rob S. Extension: School Hours will continue as 7:50 a.m. – 3:50 p.m. through Holy Thursday, April 17th To balance out the needed hours to make up lost days we will continue with the longer school hours format through Holy Thursday, April 17th. Barring any future exciting weather events, the extra time will allow our last day of school to be Friday, May 30th. Please do not apply for an SGO for 2014-2015 unless your child has never received an SGO previously. Once your child has an SGO, that SGO scholarship is like a one-time ticket that does not expire over the life of your child’s school days K-12. If ever, under current law, your family income would fall within the Choice Scholarship income limits for a school year, you would be able to apply for a voucher for your student. Again, we will only continue to provide SGO scholarships to students who have never before received this scholarship. So please, if your child has received an SGO in this current school year, or in past school years, do not apply. 2014-2015 Application for Tuition Assistance – You may have to create a new account if you do not already have an active account through a child at Bishop Dwenger High School. In speaking with our FACTS account representative, you may have to create a new account if a previous username and password does not work. The URL portal listed below is active and working, but some have shared that they had to create a new username and password. I went online and tried the portal and also had to create a new account. Once I did, the application was accessible. Thank you for your cooperation and patience.
