 Emergency School Closing Information |
Tuition AssistanceSt. John Brebeuf School is able to offer some tuition assistance to our school families for the 2010-2011 school year. We use a company called FACTS Grant and Aid Assessment to conduct the financial need analysis for our applicants. Since the amount of funds we have to use for assistance is not large, we want to make sure that it is allocated to the families with the greatest need. Once the application forms are received and assessed, FACTS will prioritize the needs and the SJB Tuition Assistance Committee will apply the funds that we have. You will be advised of the decisions by May 15. Families applying for financial aid will need to complete an application and submit the necessary supporting documentation to FACTS Grant and Aid Assessment by May 1, 2010. Applicants can apply online at www.factstuitionaid.com. Paper applications are also available in the school office. FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment will provide a self-addressed envelope for you to mail the following information: 1. Signed and completed paper application Tuition assistance is not available for Preschool or for non-parishioner families. If you have any questions or concerns about the application process, you may speak with a FACTS Customer Care Representative at 866-315-9262.

Submitted by Jerry Cichon Textbook Loan ProgramThe following letter was received from the Archdiocese of Chicago. "Hello all: Now we need your help; please call your state Representative and ask him or her to sign on as a co-sponsor to House Bill 6096 and call your State Senator and ask him or her to sign on as a co-sponsor to Senate Bill 3530. The Textbook Loan Program has been in operation since 1975. Its purpose is to provide secular textbooks, learning materials and instructional computer software to public and nonpublic school students grades K-12. Although most of the program's funding goes to public schools, Catholic schools have long depended on this program and have used the benefit to continually update math, science, and reading textbooks, as well as to purchase new instructional software for technology labs. Students cannot learn or succeed without effective and up-to-date learning materials and this program has helped ensure those materials are present in ALL schools. To find the contact information for your state Representative and State Senator, go to www.ilga.gov and click on Legislator Lookup in the lower, right-hand portion of the page. You can then look up your State Representative and State Senator by district #, your home or school address, or zip code. You can also call our offices for assistance at 312-368-1066 or 217-528-9200. Thank you for your attention and assistance on this important matter.

Now Buy One - Get One Free!The SJB Parish/School Association is happy to announce the discovery of a brand new idea in fundraising. The concept is simple: Businesses in our community support our school. In return, we support those businesses. The result: businesses in our community thrive, our school makes the money it needs, and we save money ourselves. It’s a win-win-win situation. Here's how it works: CheckAwards has designed a gift-checkbook custom-made for our community with a value of over $600.00. There are no strings attached, no buy-one, get-one free offers, no minimum purchases -- just straight savings. Use these gift-checks as you would use a gift certificate or gift card. Since we're half way through the school year and the coupons in these books are only good until the end of September, you can now double your savings! That's 8 months of double savings for only $30.00! Take advantage of this opportunity to save! Visit the P/SA Events/Happenings tab on the SJB website at www.sjbschool.org for a list of participating businesses. Here are the businesses that have supported our school through this fundraiser:
