IMPORTANT NOTICE from the ACADEMY OFFICE
The RE-REGISTRATION PACKET for next year was distributed at the “State of the Academy Meeting” on 1/25/2018. Those who could not attend the meeting had the individual packets sent home the next day with each child. Please call the school office if you did not get the packet! You must complete each form and return by the due date, FEBRUARY 15, 2018 to register for the 2018-2019 school year. If you cannot pay the entire registration fee at this time, please attach a note to your re-registration packet and return it without the fee. The due date is particularly vital for the Transportation Application. Routes could be placed in jeopardy if we do not submit them to the local school districts in early March. We ask that you complete the form EVEN IF YOUR CHILD WILL NOT BE USING THE BUS NEXT YEAR. Bus routes are established by the number of students on each bus and by not completing your application, bus routes for those students who really need it. Thank you.
Financial Assistance Program Diocese of Trenton/St. Gregory the Great Parish
2018‐2019 School Year
“Over 80% of Academy families who applied for financial assistance received an award for the 2017‐2018 school year.”
The Diocese of Trenton has retained FACTS Management to assist in the administration of a financial assistance program for families with children in Grades K‐12 in diocesan elementary schools. FACTS uses its expertise to provide an objective and uniform evaluation of each family’s specific situation. This evaluation results in a realistic ranking based on a family’s ability to pay for Catholic education. Eligible families can receive a maximum grant of up to one half of the “Category A” tuition rate from the diocesan program. Funds will be distributed based on the determined financial need of the family. St. Gregory the Great Parish will be working in conjunction with FACTS for the 2018‐2019 school year in order to award parish‐based financial aid. The Church of St. Gregory the Great will make approximately $60,000.00 of financial assistance available to families who qualify. Families who are anticipating that they will have trouble meeting the cost of tuition are urged to complete the FACTS application. We are committed to assisting families who are challenged to meet the cost of tuition. Over 80% of Academy families who applied for financial assistance received an award for the 2017‐2018 school year.
“We are committed to assisting any family who desires a Catholic education that is authentically Catholic and academically excellent in affording that
education at St. Gregory the Great Academy.” Families will complete one FACTS application which will determine eligibility for both diocesan and parish financial assistance. In order to apply for financial assistance, a family must complete the FACTS application. The application is available by following this link: online.factsmgt.com/aid. Families completing the online application must also forward supporting documentation as outlined in the instructions. There is a $30.00 application fee per family.
THE ELECTRONIC APPLICATION IS NOW AVAILABLE. Applications must be submitted online by MARCH 2, 2018 to be considered in Round 1, and by MAY 18, 2018 to be considered for Round 2. ALL ACADEMY FAMILIES SHOULD SUBMIT THEIR APPLICATION FOR ROUND 1 SO THAT THERE IS THE MAXIMUM CHANCE OF RECEIVING AN AWARD. THERE IS MORE FUNDING AVAILABLE IN ROUND 1 COMPARED TO ROUND 2, SO DO NOT DELAY.
“No family who desires Catholic education for their child will be turned away without assistance.”
Please note that filing the application with FACTS is the ONLY manner in which financial aid can be requested from both the Diocese of Trenton and St. Gregory the Great Parish. No parish aid will be awarded without a complete application to FACTS. Also please remember that it is necessary to reapply for financial assistance each year; awards do not automatically renew. If your family has a unique situation that you would like to discuss in more detail, please contact Dr. Jason C. Briggs, Principal, at [email protected]. We will make every possible effort to assist you in affording a Catholic education at St. Gregory the Great Academy. If you have any difficulty completing this process, or have any questions, please feel free to contact Dr. Briggs as soon as possible. All inquiries are kept strictly confidential.

January 26, 2018 Dear Parents, St. Gregory the Great Academy is once again looking for volunteer families to “buddy-up” with a new family for the 2018-2019 school year! The buddy family will be the personal contact for any inquiries the new family may have throughout the year. This is a great way to help make a new family’s transition into the school enjoyable. Some of the questions you can expect to get will be about the school uniform policy, lunch duty, and school activities. New families don’t always know when and what they can participate in during the school year. As a buddy family, you can give them a call to let them know about an upcoming liturgy they may attend or a school program that would be really helpful to them. They also may have volunteer and/or point questions that you may be able to answer or you can direct them to the person who can help them. Once accepted into our academy, each new family will be given the name and contact information of a BUDDY FAMILY. We hope you will consider signing up to be part of this effort to make new families feel welcomed and informed. If you would like to be a BUDDY FAMILY, please complete the bottom portion of this letter and return to me by February 15, 2018. Sincerely, Jason C. Briggs, Ed.D.

This is a nation-wide initiative created by the National Catholic Risk Retention Group and is being mandated by the Diocese of Trenton for all adults who work with or volunteer their time with children more than one time each school year. This includes administrators, teachers, assistants, staff, classroom or schoolroom aides, chaperones, coaches, scout leaders, volunteers, etc. If you have attended a training session, please provide the office with a copy of your certificate of attendance or a print-out from www.virtus.org verifying your attendance.

To do this: 1) login at www.virtus.org; 2) click on “Update My Account”; 3) click on “My Toolbox”; 4) find “Primary Location” and use the drop down menu to select St. Gregory the Great. If you have not completed the training, sessions will be set up periodically to try to accommodate everyone’s busy schedule. The sessions will run for approximately 3 hours. Each participant will then be required to register online in order to receive a certificate of attendance which must be kept on file in the main office. For upcoming training session dates and times, please visit www.virtus.org and click on Registration on the left side of the webpage. Please select Trenton, NJ (Diocese) to view a list of sessions.

BINGO WORKERS NEEDED!
Help is desperately needed – please consider joining a Bingo Team!
Bingo is held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings in the
St. Gregory the Great Parish Center
All proceeds from the Tuesday and Thursday Bingo go directly to the Academy. It is important that we have plenty of workers to help us staff this fund raiser.
We are in desperate need of Bingo Workers who can commit to working every month or every other month.
Interested in helping?? There are THREE ways to join:
Option 1 - A monthly commitment on either Tuesday or Thursday Evening - you would
be assigned a team, etc 1st Tuesday – 2nd Tuesday etc. same for Thursday. (4 points per night) - Bingo hours are 5:30 pm until 10:15 pm
Option 2 - A Bingo Buddy - You would only be required to work every other month.
You would share the yearly responsibility with your Bingo Buddy. You still receive 4 points per night,
but, it is a 6 month not a 12 month commitment, but is a yearlong commitment.
Option 3 – Single Bingo Buddy – You would be required to work every other month. You would commit to either working every even month of the year or every odd month
of the year. You would not be able to switch. You still receive 4 points per night,
but, it is a 6 month not a 12 month commitment, but is a yearlong commitment.
Please keep in mind, Bingo is a 12 month commitment (either by yourself or with your buddy) – if you miss 3 or more Bingos in a year, you will no longer be considered a
bingo worker. Working Bingo is NOT a “drop-in” volunteer service – no one is allowed to show up at any Bingo because they need a few extra points – you must be assigned to a
team. If you cannot work your scheduled Bingo night, it is important that you contact your MIC
to let him/her know why you cannot attend.
Please contact Mrs. Patty Pierson to sign up to work Bingo at [email protected]

NOTES FROM THE NURSE Please inform the Nurse if your child has a communicable disease. This information is vital to preventing the spread of these diseases which are highly contagious at certain periods of time. It also helps in monitoring the status of disease spread in different classes or areas of the school.
List of communicable diseases:
Chicken Pox German Measles (Rubella) Regular Measles (Rubeola) Mumps Scarlet fever Strep throat Whooping cough Impetigo Conjunctivitis( Pink eye) Mononucleosis Hepatitis A Ringworm 5th Disease Haemophilus B influenzae Meningitis Scabies Pediculosis (Head lice)
Trying to decide if you should send your child to school? Fever is the body's way of destroying the germs making it sick, and it's a common symptom of infections such as flu. Keep your children home if their temperature is 100.4° F or higher. Wait until children are fever-free for 24 hours without fever reducing medications before letting them return to school. Diarrhea is more than two loose bowel movements in 24 hours. It is often the result of infection, food poisoning, or a side effect to medications like antibiotics. Keep children home until stools are formed and your doctor gives the okay. Make sure your sick child stays well-hydrated.
Vomiting is another way for the body to rid itself of the germs making it sick, and is usually caused by a stomach virus or stomach infection. Keep children home if they've vomited once or more in the last 24 hours. They can return to school after symptoms clear up or your doctor says they're no longer contagious.
2
Pinkeye (conjunctivitis) is contagious, and children should stay home from school for the first 24 hours after treatment begins. Symptoms of pinkeye include eye redness, irritation, swelling, and pus. Your child needs a doctor’s note to return to school.
Severe cough and cold symptoms should keep kids home from school. A serious cough could be a sign of contagious conditions like whooping cough, viral bronchitis, or croup. It can also be a sign of asthma or allergies. If nasal drainage is discolored or your child does not feel well enough to focus on their class work they should be kept home.
Mild cold or respiratory symptoms are no reason to keep children at home so long as their nasal drainage is clear and their cough is mild. REMIND YOUR CHILD TO WIPE THEIR NOSE WITH TISSUE, DISCARD TISSUE, AND IMMEDIATELY WASH HANDS! REMIND YOUR CHILD TO COVER COUGHS AND SNEEZES WITH THE BEND OF THEIR INNER ELBOW – IN THEIR SLEEVE!
Sore throats can be a symptom of strep or a common cold. If your child has been diagnosed with strep throat, keep your child at home for at least 24 hours after starting antibiotics. If your child has a mild cold, it's okay to go to school.
Headaches can be a symptom of contagious conditions like viral gastroenteritis, flu, meningitis, and strep throat. Opinions differ on whether a child should be kept home. If your child doesn't have any other signs of illness, and feels okay, your child can go to school.
Rashes can be the sign of contagious conditions such as chickenpox, bacterial meningitis, or impetigo. Children should be kept home until they're diagnosed. They can return to school after symptoms are gone and their doctor gives the okay.
Earaches aren't contagious. There's no need to keep a child with a mild earache home, as long as your child feels well enough to concentrate.
If your child needs to take medication while at school, a Medication Authorization form must be filled out and signed by the parent and doctor. Please ask the physician to fill this out at your doctor’s visit so as to save you a return trip. These forms are available in my office and on the School’s website (https://stgregorythegreatacademy.org/) under the About Us>Nurse.
Thank you for working with us to keep our students healthy and happy.
Sincerely,
Marcia Worthy, RN Academy Nurse
