PTO Mandatory Meeting
Parents, it was wonderful to have participation during our meeting. Parents had questions regarding tuition increase, service hours and scrip. The dropping of non-Catholic rates was well received. Parents were reminded to please follow-up vision letters from parish nurse. Ms. Lujan mentioned possibility of offering counseling for children. Parents shared great ideas for improving our mandatory $225 mandatory fundraisers obligations. Results of pre-school survey were shared. Ms. Lujan asked that parents bring one new family to our open house to help increase enrollment. Some parents offered to be tour guides during open house. Thank you to parents for attending the meeting, sharing, and expressing the importance to form community.
