Principal's Message 4/24/25
All Servant Leadership Hours are DUE in FAMILY PORTAL by May 31, 2025. Any hours submitted after that date will not be counted toward the requirement of 20 hours per family. Every hour that is not accounted for, out of the required 20 hours, will be converted into a $20 per hour charge.
The charge will be added to the upcoming year's FACTs account.

Join us in praying for the repose soul of Pope Francis:
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
~Amen~
Please also say prayers for safe travel over the 8th Grade Class, and their families as they take their long-awaited trip to Washington, DC! Thank you again to all those who contributed to the fundraisers this year!

All students are invited to wear PINK with uniform bottoms tomorrow, 4/25/25, to show our support for Maggie's Family.

On Wednesday, 3/26, JPII was visited by the KCSS (Kentucky Center for Safe Schools) for a Safety Check Review. We will receive a detailed report in the coming weeks. The reviewers, Dan Orman and Matt Moore, had this to report after their visit: "We were so impressed with not only the results of having a school that is so safe and secure, but the way in which that has been achieved. Every detail has been examined, and you guys have a process for asking questions and getting answers. John Paul II is an exceptional example of what happens when educators decide they are going to have a school that is a safe and secure place for teaching and learning – an actual process that leads to “Commitment over Compliance”!"
_____________________________________________________________
ENROLLMENT IS GOING ON NOW! Log in to your Family Portal to complete the enrollment. You must submit your $11 before the process is complete. This $11 is a charge that FACTS has to process their online enrollment. This money does not go to the school.
New students, from our current families, must complete an application before enrolling. This charge is $25 and also goes directly to FACTS, not the school.
Subsidy Confirmed Amounts
As the individual parish councils and parish finance councils begin to meet, they have been relaying their subsidy amounts to us. All families are REQUIRED to meet with their parish priest EVERY YEAR to determine if they are eligible for subsidy. The School has no part in this determination process. Also, remember that the subsidy program is a GIFT, not a guarantee. Our county is one of the very few in the diocese that even offer a subsidy program so please remember to thank the parishes for this! Most parishes require that you be a member for at least a year before receiving a subsidy. Here are the numbers that we have so far:
Sacred Heart/St. Peter: $2550
St. Ambrose: $2550
St. Francis: $2550
St. Agnes: $2900
St. Ann: TBD
Also, make note that many churches do not host subsidy meetings until late April or May. If your family is waiting until AFTER your subsidy meeting to register, please notify me at [email protected] so I can waive your $150 late fee for registering after April 15th. If you do not notify me before April 15th, a $150 late fee will be applied to your account.
