it was sitting on a committee,
monitoring lunch, selling
tickets, coaching a sport,
chairing or working on an
event…I thank everyone who
has given of their time, talents,
and treasures to support and
improve our school. I am
sincerely grateful to everyone
for their partnership and
commitment to St. Joseph
School! May God Bless You and
Your Family with a Safe and
Enjoyable Summer.
Mrs. Karen Green
Dear Parents:
Summer is nearly upon us and
I am sure that each of you has
some great plans to enjoy the
weather and extra time off. I
pray that you will share some
great family time and will
return safely and refreshed for
the 2016-2017 school year.
St. Joseph School continues to
be a great place to grow in faith
and learn. Our goal is to
provide an excellent Catholic
education for your children and
guide them to learn how to put
their faith into action. I thank
God for the many blessings we
have and I pray that we
continue to move forward in
striving for excellence in all that
we do!
I could not possibly thank
everyone in this newsletter that
Final Exams
An exam schedule for grades
3-8 was sent home, posted to
our school website, emailed to
families and reproduced in this
newsletter. Please refer to a
copy of the schedule so that you
and your children can prepare
for the proper exams on the
proper day. Students should be
present for the exams and
avoid appointments that
week. The Diocesan
Education Policy states that
no make-up exams are given
to students that miss an
exam.

As a reminder, for the 2016-
2017 school year, we will
continue to partner with
FACTS Management
Company to collect and
process tuition payments.
Reenrollment letters were
sent home to each family
that already has an account
with FACTS. Any family that is
not registered to pay their
tuition should go to our
website and click on FACTS
tuition management and
follow the necessary steps.
This was to be completed by
May 31, 2016 so that your
child(ren) can be placed on a
class list and text books can
be ordered for them.
If you are choosing to pay
your tuition up-front for the
coming school year, you
should pay the school
directly by August 1, 2016 or
register on FACTS for a
month that is convenient to
have your tuition deducted.
Families applying for
financial aid will need to
complete an application and
submit the necessary
supporting documentation by
June 30, 2016. Applicants
can begin to apply
immediately on our website
(www.sjsbatavia.org) and
every effort will be made to
notify families as soon as
possible about the
assistance available to them.

Once you start buying the
cards, you’ll be amazed at
how simple it is. Check out

participating local and
national businesses on our

shop at most of these

siblings in grades 1-8 have
been excused to attend
graduation, however since
graduation takes place
during exam week, students
in grades 3-8 will not be
excused from an exam to
attend the ceremony.
If your child has lost an item
of clothing, lunch box, etc. at
some point this year, please
take a look on the “Lost and
Found” table located in the
cafeteria. If these items are
not claimed by the end of the

donated to a local thrift
shop.

Enrollment is UP!
Enrollment is strong at SJS, with 25 students
in our incoming Kindergarten class and
transfer students in many of the upper
grades. The 2016-17 school year promises
to be one of energy and growth. Thank you to
our families for all you do to spread the good
news about St. Joseph School. By word and
by example, your children’s presence in our
surrounding communities inspires families to
come and see all that our school has to
offer.
Are you doing some Spring cleaning? If you
come up with toys that your child has
outgrown, our Wrap-Around and Pre-K
programs would appreciate any donations
of 3-year-old and 4-year-old appropriate
toys. Please bring them to the annex
building.
Thank you!

Cafeteria News
As we reach the end of the school year,
please be sure your child’s lunch ticket
is up-to-date. Students who have run
out of lunches, or are getting low, get a
note sent home from their teacher
and/or an e-mail notification from the
cafeteria. This is especially important
for parents of eighth-graders to
monitor, as lunch charges will not be
allowed during the last week of school.
If you do not wish to purchase a full
ticket, partial tickets are available at a
cost of $2.30/lunch. If you have any
questions regarding your child’s lunch
ticket status, please send a note to
their teacher or contact Mrs. Streeter
at cafeteria.sjsbatavia@gmail.com.
A Protecting God’s Children
Workshop (“Virtus”) will be held
at our school at a date to be
determined in October.
As a reminder, anyone that
volunteers in school or attends a
field trip must have this training
and must be current on follow-up
training bulletins.
You may register for a workshop
at: www.virtus.org.
Parishioner rates are available
only to those families who
maintain active membership and
regular financial support to a
Catholic Parish. Mass
attendance is monitored with the
use of weekly parish envelopes.
The status of your support will be
reviewed each year as you ask
your pastor to complete the
Parish Verification Form (CTGP-
Catholic Tuition Grant Program).
This signed form will give $1,350
subsidy per child. If, for any
reason, the pastor refuses to sign
this form, a family is expected to
pay an additional $1,350 per
child. Families may also opt not to
ask their parish for assistance and
agree to pay an additional $1,350
per child.
CTGP forms were included in the
family envelopes. Please have it
signed by your pastor, and
returned to St. Joseph School’s
main office by Friday, June 17h.
