April 11

I hope you had a beautiful Easter with your family. As we are moving into the home stretch of the school year, I have some reminders.
- Your child needs to pack a water bottle for school. It is getting hot and they need to remain hydrated.
- If you come to pick up your child early from school, call the office before you leave the house so we can have your child/children ready in the office.
- Students in grades 1-3 will begin practice ITBS tests this week. The teachers in the upper grades will go over test taking skills in preparation. The ITBS testing week is April 19-23. Please arrive at school on time and try not to schedule any appointments so the children do not miss a portion of the test.
- The last day of school has been moved to Thursday, May 27.
Finally, many of the tuition scholarships are open. Please take a few minutes to complete and many of them are free. Over 80% of our families receive financial aid. If you have a child who has a MET/IEP, who has been adopted or in foster care, reach out to me or to Rita Villegas (she handles the tuition billing) at rita@olmctempe.com and we can give you more information about scholarships specific for these children. If you or your spouse are active military there are scholarships for this too. Below is a list of some of the general Student Tuition Organizations:
- Catholic Education Arizona
- AZ Private Education Scholarship Fund
- AZ4Education
- Brophy Community Foundation
- Institute for Better Education
- School Choice Arizona
Looking forward to seeing the children tomorrow!
Dr. Shewbridge
