Through the Angel Scholarship Fund, you can now contribute funds that will be used to provide tuition assistance for students to attend our Catholic schools, for which you may receive a 100% Ohio income tax credit of up to $750 ($1,500 if married filing jointly) against your 2022 state tax liability. In other words, the state of Ohio allows you to "spend" some of the state income taxes you must pay anyway to provide tuition assistance for students seeking an education in our Catholic schools. The Angel Scholarship Fund is a win-win-win for taxpayer donors, scholarship recipients, and our Catholic schools.

STATE REQUIREMENTS FOR IMMUNIZATIONS
Here is a friendly reminder for parents with students entering K & 7th grades. It is a state requirement to have immunizations up to date for school attendance. Or, if your child will be exempt from these required immunizations, we need that document completed as well. We ask that this be completed in the summer and turned into the school for Fall attendance. Feel free to contact the school clinic if you have any questions.

Advice for families to support learning and family togetherness during this time:
Things you can do to support learning.
Reading to your kids counts! It’s a great way to stay connected and keep learning going without feeling like a burden. Try audiobooks from the library or Audible, too.
Playing games with cards, dice or money allows your kids to practice math facts without realizing it.
Puzzles, LEGO, blocks, tangrams, tinker toys, pickup sticks, yo-yos, art supplies —these are nice alternatives to the iPad if you’re looking for them.
And we’ve learned that a few weeks or even a couple of months will not see a big decline in skills. It’s okay to focus on play and family togetherness.
It’s a stressful moment for all of us. It’s also a time of pulling together. Our wish for everyone is safety, love, and support for one another.
