From the Nurse
Immunization reminder to 6th grade parents:
Ohio School Immunization Requirements are such that before a student enters seventh grade they are to
have a documented Tdap vaccine. This dose is intended to be administered as a booster dose for students
who have completed the required doses of the initial series of DTaP/DT/Td. Therefore, your current 6th
grader will need to show proof of having received this booster dose before they can return to school in
the fall.
Please provide the Nurse the date that the Tdap was received with a copy of updated immunizations from
your pediatrician. This reminder is sent out now to provide you with ample time to have your child immunized before the 2015-2016 school year begins. Please contact your physician or health department if
your child still needs this vaccine.
Save the Date
7th and 8th graders save the date for Saturday, May 23. St Albert PTO will be hosting a Jr. High dance
from 7-10.
Tuition Assistance

Tuition Information and Rates 2015– 16 School Year
Our school is heavily funded by our Parish General Fund (Sunday collection). Therefore, only registered
families qualify for the parish rate, which is reduced from the full actual cost to educate your child. It is
expected that parish families with children attending St. Albert the Great School be active, contributing
members of the church and participate in the spiritual and academic life of the parish and school. It is also an
expectation that parents monetarily support the parish. Parish families are asked to contribute a minimum of
$520 per year. Your Sunday contributions help us keep our school funded and viable since a minimum of
$500,000 – and, usually more, of the parish income directly underwrites the school thereby keeping tuition at the
lower listed rate rather than the actual cost to educate your child.
Inability to contribute time, talent or financially to the parish will not disqualify a parish child from attending our
school, however, families must call the pastor to discuss this matter privately. A fund is available for those in
this circumstance.
