MR. RIDDER’S REMINDERS Feb 3 Dress Down Day - St. Patrick's Apparel, Green OR White Jeans Allowed
STUDENT REFERRAL PROGRAM –Much of the credit for the growth of St. Patrick's School is owed to good, old-fashioned word of mouth. An incentive program is in place for families who refer students to St. Patrick’s School.If a school family or parishioner refers a student to St. Patrick’s School and he/she enrolls, the referring family will receive a $100 credit toward their child’s tuition for every student that they referred. If a parishioner brings a student (For example, grandchildren, nieces/nephews or family friends) into the school, the credit will be applied to the newly enrolled student’s tuition or whomever the parishioner designates the referral to go to. All referral credits are applied after the new student completes the first semester. This incentive does not apply to grades where there is a waitlist or previously submitted applications. Please contact the Principal, Mr. Ridder, via email at ridderd@stpatselkhorn.orgor call the school office (289-5407).
