SUMMER ENRICHMENT IDEAS 

Summer is the perfect time to relax and unwind. It is also a beneficial time to participate in academic enrichment to retain the skills, knowledge, and content mastered in this past school year. Here, you'll find summer resources to help prepare your child for the upcoming school year and prevent a summer learning slide.

Purchasing uniforms  - plaid jumpers, skirts, and gym uniforms are available for purchase at Schools Are Us - 3146 W 111th St, Chicago, IL 60655.   All other items, including uniform-style navy pants/shorts and collared shirts, may be purchased at any retailer, such as Target, Old Navy, or Land's End.  

Uniform exchange - Please consider donating clean, gently used uniform items that no longer fit your household to our Uniform Exchange.

SCHOOL SUPPLIES

We ask students to start each school year with a specific list of supplies. Supplies for the 2025-2026 school year should be brought to school on August 17 - Information Sunday.  Families may opt to buy their supplies at any retailer they choose. For your convenience, you can order online through EPI School Supplies for delivery to home. 

School supply lists for each grade, along with a link to EPI, can be found here. 

TUITION

TUITION and incidental billings are paid online through FACTS Tuition Management beginning in July.

All families should have received an email from FACTS with information on setting up their payment plan. Enrolling in a FACTS payment plan allows you to select a payment schedule that best suits your financial needs. Any questions regarding tuition may be sent to Mrs. Jeanne Reilly, School Business Manager, at [email protected].
