NEW REGISTRATION PROCESS FOR 2021-2022
We will be moving to a more streamlined approach for registration for the 2021-2022
school year!
ONLINE RE-ENROLLMENT:
A link to a Google form will be emailed out on Tuesday, Feb. 16th to all current families
that are eligible for re-enrollment. If your account is currently in arrears you will need to
contact Sharon Greany, in business office, to make arrangements for payment before
re-enrolling.
The Google link will contain all the elements that were previously on Sycamore, and on
the paper documents. You will simply click on the Google link and fill in all the informa-
tion. You will NOT have to log on to Sycamore admissions or print out any documents
for re-enrollment.
There will be separate links sent out for K-8 and PK/TK.
TUITION ASSISTANCE:
The tuition assistance program will remain as it was last year. All families who request
tuition assistance must first complete an online FACTS application by April 16th or by
the time of your meeting with me. Again, the Nazareth Guild will use the results of this
application to determine the level of financial support they will provide St. Mary. Fam-
ilies who currently receive tuition assistance need to apply for the 2021-2022 school
year. Current families can access their prior Facts application and only need to take
a few minutes to update it for next year. The FACTS application may be found here:
https://online.factsmgt.com/signin/4L2TZ
REG. MEETINGS WITH MR. WALKER:
Mr. Walker would like to hold brief (15-20 minutes) registration meetings via phone or
zoom with all families throughout the months of February, March, and April. This is an
opportunity to formally meet if we haven’t already, chat about your family experience,
discuss the budget, and facilitate your tuition agreement (should you seek assistance)
for the 2021-2022 school year. This is a mandatory meeting for all families--whether
you seek tuition assistance or not. A Google sheet will be sent out next week to start
scheduling your registration meeting with Mr. Walker. If the Google sheet doesn’t work
for you please feel free to contact the office to schedule an appointment. The Google
registration form and FACTS application (if req. tuition assistance) must be completed
by the time of your appointment.
REGISTRATION FEES:
We are happy to announce that registration fees for K-8 will remain the same amount
as last year.
1 student: $295
2 students: $530
3 students: $765
4 students: $1,000
A minimum of $295 is due at the time of re-enrollment to hold spots for families that
are enrolling multiple K-8 students. For families with one K-8 student, $295 is due at
the time of registration. The balance of the registration fees are due in full by August 1,
2021.
Families are welcome to make payments on your fees throughout the summer. Please
contact Sharon Greany at: (509) 924-4300 x204 or sgreany@stmarysspokane.org to
disucss options.
We will open up enrollment to new families beginning March 22. We ask that everyone
intending to re-enroll for the 2021-2022 school year completes the Google form for
re-enrollment by March 16th so we can accurately project how many open spots we
can offer to new families by the time open enrollment begins.
Thank you for your patience during the change in this process, it is my hope that the
changes we’ve made this year will result in the re-enrollment process being much
easier for families. Please feel free to contact the office with any questions.
Blessings,

DO YOU ORDER OFFICE SUPPLIES
FROM OFFICE DEPOT/OFFICE MAX?
Education
is the foundation
to a brighter future
Your school will receive 5% back in credit for FREE supplies
when you make a purchase of qualifying products and provide
your school ID at checkout.
It’s a small act that can make a huge difference.
SCHOOL NAME
ST. MARYS CATHOLIC SCHOOL (ZIP CODE: 99216)
SCHOOL ID 70107683
Pre-K-12th grade only. Not available in Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands. 5% of qualifying purchases made during each program period will be offered quarterly as an
Office Depot® OfficeMax® Merchandise Certificate to the participating school designated by each customer (up to a total of $10 million). Products that do not qualify are: technology
and consumer electronic products and accessories, media and software that is not education or reference related; furniture and furniture accessories; ink and toner; gift and prepaid
cards; postage stamps; purchases from Copy & Print Depot™ and OfficeMax Services Center; and purchases made to contract business accounts. Credits are not available to schools

Educare Reminders:
Educare Pick-Up Ph. Number: (509) 924-4300 x211
Save the Educare pick-up phone number in your phone. We had to change the Educare
pick-up process this school year. If you are arriving after 11:15AM to pick-up pre-k stu-
dents from Educare you will need to call the Educare pick-up phone number. If you are
arriving after 3:05PM to pick-up K-5 (& 6-8th when they come back in-person) students
from Educare you will need to call the Educare pick-up phone number. Signs are posted
on several doors around the school with the phone number just in case.
Please let the office know if the need for your child to go to Educare arises during the day
so we can staff appropriately. We have to keep classroom cohorts separated in Educare,
and even the addition of just 1 or 2 extra students at the last minute that weren’t expect-
ed creates very difficult situations for Educare. Also, please let the office know if your
child’s regular Educare schedule changes so we can staff accordingly.
Winter Weather Reminders:
We go outside for recess every day unless it is raining/snowing
heavily or below 20 degrees (factoring in windchill) or blacktop is
too slippery from ice. Make sure to send your student to school with a bag
(separate from backpack) containing the proper outerwear and boots for outdoor
recess in the snow. Regular shoes must be worn indoor.
PK-4th: waterproof snow pants and boots are required to leave the blacktop at recess.
5th-8th: waterproof snow boots are required to leave the blacktop, snow pants highly
recommended.
School track jackets and sweatshirts are no longer warm enough to wear outdoors alone.
Make sure to send your child with their (dry) winter jacket, and other winter gear if needed.
We are pleased to announce that in the event of school being cancelled
due to weather, we will be able to conduct classes remotely (K-8) to help
avoid having to extend our school year into the summer.

If you are experiencing technical difficulties with virtual learning Ms. Kristen and Mr. Hull are
designated to help with your remote learning teach support needs. Please contact them with any
tech issues you are having:

It’s very important to the community as a whole to report health screenings each school day for in-person students. If a student goes home from school ill or is called in ill from home, the “at-risk” red screen procedures must automatically and immediately be followed before student will be allowed back in school. If there is an accidental red screen (one “yes” was was accidentally clicked) please contact the office or just let the check-in volunteers know it was a mistake. Please refer to the most current COVID-19 Symptom Flow Chart below for help deter- mining if student can attend school and/or what course of action needs to be taken.
