Scholarships and Tuition Assistance Updates

Posted on

Assumption has several endowed scholarships that are granted each year in late May. Due to the implementation of ESA (Education Savings Account) funding, scholarship awards have been temporarily put on hold.  Notification emails will be sent to the winning scholarship recipients in late July/early August after we receive notification from the state on who will be receiving ESA funding.

Families who have applied for ESA funds and were denied, are encouraged to complete our Family Tuition Plan (FTP) application at the following link Family Tuition Plan Application

Fresh Start Picnic – Thursday, July 1, 2021

Posted on

I hope everyone has started to enjoy summer—it’s a much-needed break from such an unusual school year!  Plus, I’m sure your children are excited to end their grade school days!

Earlier this spring, we sent out a postcard with a couple of upcoming events for registered incoming freshmen.  As a reminder, the Fresh Start Picnic is rescheduled for Thursday, July 1st.  We will serve Hungry Hobo sandwiches, drinks, and treats.  There will also be a few games and activities—rain or shine.  (If there is inclement weather, we will hold the picnic inside in the cafeteria.)

Students can begin checking in at 1:00 near the tennis courts at the back of the main parking lot.  If it’s raining, please drop your students off around back at the main student entrance between the gym and the auditorium.  The picnic will end at 3:00, however, we invite all the incoming freshmen to stay for the varsity baseball double-header starting at 3:00 (weather permitting).

In order to make an accurate order for food and drinks, we would kindly appreciate your student’s RSVP by Monday, June 28th at the latest.  (I will send out a reminder email as that day draws closer.)  Additionally, we ask that you verify your child’s t-shirt size in case it has changed since filling out the Assumption application for admission.

Enjoy the rest of your June, and we hope to see your student at the Fresh Start Picnic!  (Pray for good weather!)
