FACTS ENROLLMENT REMINDERS – Returning Families

For returning families, the process should be quicker this year, as information entered last year in the enrollment forms can been rolled forward.

Please refer to the email you should have received on Tuesday, May 1, from FACTS.  This email contains a unique link for your family and the instructions to roll forward your student(s) information before you begin the enrollment process.   If you inadvertently deleted this email or you did not receive it because your email address has changed, please call FACTS at 866-441-4637 in order to have the email resent.   Do not use any other enrollment you may have received in an email that was not sent by FACTS.  The School and Parish Finance Offices cannot assist with providing the link for your family.

The roll forward/information validation process is straightforward and requires returning families to perform an initial log in to ensure the correct information is captured for the upcoming 2012 / 2013 school year.  This process only needs to be done once even if you have more than one student.

Once you complete the initial log in to roll forward your student(s) information you will need to review the information and make any necessary changes before submitting the form to acknowledge the information is correct.  After submitting your student(s) information, you can begin the enrollment process for your student(s).

FACTS ENROLLMENT REMINDERS – Help Sessions and Hotline

Enrollment HELP sessions – There is one remaining HELP sessions that will be offered from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 pm in the Jr. High Computer Lab on the afternoon of Tuesday, May 22. Please call the School Office to confirm your attendance in one of these sessions.

Dedicated HELP Email Address and Phone Number Hotline – We now have a dedicated voice mail hotline for FACTS questions – 630.718.2219.  You may also email your questions at enrollmenthelp@sspeterandpaul.net. You should receive a response to either your email or voice mail within 24 hours.

FACTS ENROLLMENT REMINDERS – Mandatory School Forms not on FACTS 

Mandatory Forms Required by the School not on FACTS – One of the major changes in the enrollment process this year is that you will note that many forms are no longer going to be returned to our school electronically.  The forms listed below are not required by our parish finance office; rather they are needed by our school office personnel or else they go directly to some of our leadership boards.  In addition, legal counsel for the diocese says that written signatures are preferable to electronic ones.

Most of the forms are set up for you to complete them online and then print them.  If you are unable to type online, please print the form out and PRINT NEATLY. Below are the mandatory forms that must be signed and returned to the school office by June 1st.

  • Parent Cooperation Agreement
  • Student Contract
  • Videotaping / Photographing of students
  • Internet Acceptable Use Policy
  • SSPP Emergency Form
  • SSPP Non-Custodial Parent Form
  • All medical forms (School Physicals, Sports physicals, Eye, and Dental)
  • Athletic forms

FACTS ENROLLMENT REMINDERS – Hot Lunch and Other Changes

Hot Lunch and Other Changes - Please note that hot lunch orders cannot be changed once your form has been submitted. Before clicking the Submit button at the end of the enrollment form, you can return to any page and make any necessary changes.   Once again, you cannot make changes once a form has been submitted when you click the Submit button.

For Hot Lunch Orders, please print off your hot lunch order as this will assist the Hot Lunch Group if there are any questions when school starts.  Refer to the FAQ for instructions on printing for personal records. If changes are necessary for Band, Bible, Foreign Language, Yearbook and Athletics (if only need to change a sport) send an email to EnrollmentHelp@sspeterandpaul.net on or before June 1st.

ATTENTION, ATTENTION!  The end of school is near and any reimbursement requests for Home & School related expenses MUST be turned in to Linda Griffith, H&S Treasurer, by Friday, May 18.  Please use the attached expense form, fill it out, and turn it into the Office, Attention:  Linda Griffith, Home & School.  The only expenses that will be allowed after May 18 are ones related to Founders Day.  All other expenses not turned in by May 18 will be considered a donation by you to SSPP–and we thank you for that.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Linda at griffithfamily4340@sbcglobal.net.  All Founders Day expenses must be turned in by May 30–the last day of school.  Thank you in advance for your cooperation.  I have really enjoyed being your Home & School Treasurer for the last 4 years.  THANKS!

Attention all parents:  As we are winding down the 2011-2012 school year, we are beginning to plan for 2012-2013 school year.  We are looking for parents to get involved with the Home and School Association as a Chairperson or Co-chair (for you and a friend) for several open Home and School Service Committees.  As a Chair for these committees, you are the Home and School liaison to these programs.  Each of these programs require about one hour/week of time.

They include:

  • Chess Scholars (after school)

These are fantastic programs that give our children wonderful enrichment opportunities.  Without parent volunteers, these programs cannot continue at SSPP.  If you would like to see these programs continue at Ss. Peter and Paul, we need your help.  As a chairperson, you would be responsible for organizing the program and working with our vendors and/or participants.  These positions also allow you to become better acquainted with how Home and School works and allows you to do something extremely valuable for our school.  If you would more information or if you want to volunteer, please contact Dave Fox at mail@foxville.net.  Thank you for your continued support.

FOUNDER’S DAY NEWS:  We are counting down to Founder’s Day on May 29th.  The children are getting excited about this SSPP tradition.  Here are a few things to know about this year’s Founder’s Day:

- We are still in need of parents to volunteer for Founder’s Day at all grade levels.  If your class does not have enough volunteers, they may be in the classroom during Founder’s Day.  Your total time commitment is about 4 hours or a 1/2 day from work.

- We are planning for activities to be outside with a few activities rotating through our buildings to allow our students a break from the sun.  Please use sunscreen on your children.

- The Home and School Association is providing a pizza lunch for the students and a dilly bar treat for Founder’s Day.

- Students need to bring to school:  A Healthy Snack, A Bottle of Water for a Snack, and A Healthy Drink for Lunch.  If your child has any allergies to Pizza or Dilly Bars, please provide an alternative lunch and treat for your student.

Founder’s Day is a wonderful time to see the kids interact together.  Please consider volunteering.  If you would like more information or if you want to volunteer, please contact your room parent.  Thank you for your continued support.

Come enjoy a beautiful day of golf and support SSPP school golf at the 3rd Annual Paul Pavlishin Memorial Golf Tournament at Arrowhead Golf course on Monday, June 11, 2012. 

It is that time of year again and if the fantastically warm “winter” of 2012 is any indication, this year’s Paul Pavlishin Memorial Golf Tournament will be one for the ages!  This year’s tournament will be held on Monday, June 11th and the unmistakable beauty of Arrowhead Golf Club in Wheaton, IL. will once again provide the venue.  Lunch and dinner will be served at the tournament and as past participants can tell you, the golf, silent auction and many smiles and hugs that await you will create a day that will be remembered for a very long time.

This year is our third annual PPMGT and although we do this primarily to honor and remember our great friend Paul Pavlishin, the money that we raise through all of our collective efforts assist in the overall fundraising efforts of the Aurora Boys Baseball program and the Saints Peter and Paul School of Naperville.  Paul’s love of Aurora Boys Baseball and his deep respect and admiration for the work they do at SSPP allows us a tremendous opportunity to hold this tournament while honoring Paul and to financially assist the many families involved with both of these terrific organizations.  Last year, through the generosity of our many sponsors, friends and participants, we raised nearly $25,000.00, an almost 25% increase from our inaugural event in 2010.  Well done everyone but let’s make 2012 even better!!!

Click here for the tournament registration form which includes both the registration and sponsorship opportunities.  Some of our sponsorships have already been sold out but rest assured, if you want to donate or sponsor something, we WILL find a place for you and you’ll be happy you did so.  When you fill out the form, tell us how many golfers you have and if you are motivated to do so, which type of sponsorship you’d like to be involved with.  Mail your form and check made out to the “Paul Pavlishin Memorial Golf Tournament” to the address shown.  Once we receive your form and check, one of us will contact you and welcome you to the 2012 PPMGT!  Please visit us on Facebook at the Paul Pavlishin Memorial Golf Tournament.

SSPP Uniform Exchange & Sale - The SSPP Uniform Exchange & Sale will take place on Saturday, June 16th from 1:30pm – 4:30pm in Zuker Hall. 

What is the SSPP Uniform Exchange & Sale? It is held each summer after the school year is completed. Anyone can sell their gently used SSPP uniforms at the Exchange and receive money back or they can donate the proceeds back to Home and School. It is also a place to shop for gently used uniforms at greatly discounted prices or purchase new uniforms from Educational Outfitters. New to the Exchange/Sale this year is our very own SSPP Spirit Wear! Spirit Wear items will be displayed and available for purchase.

For new uniform orders, Educational Outfitters will be at the SSPP Exchange & Sale to help with sizing questions and to take new uniform orders. To limit travel and shipping expense, Educational Outfitters will then return to the school the following week to deliver the uniforms to the school for pick-up. The SSPP Exchange & Sale is held in June because Educational Outfitters offers 10% off their merchandise for the month of June and it allows SSPP families to take full advantage of that sale.

Please stay tuned to the e-envelope for additional information regarding drop-off of gently used uniforms and the Exchange & Sale details. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Barb Enright at enright@comcast.net or Dalal Symanski at dsymanski@gmail.com.

Calling all book worms…It is time for some spring cleaning so dust off your bookshelves and bring in your gently used elementary leveled (K-3) books for our book drive.   The purpose of the book drive is to acquire a more current collection, of age appropriate high interest books for beginner and intermediate readers so that we can promote literacy.  Reading research confirms the students who read the most, read the best, achieve the most and stay in school the longest. Easy access to books is a prime factor in gains in reading.  Gently used books have binding that are intact, no ripped pages, no pen or crayon markings but have been loved by your family and would be great to share with our younger students.  We are looking for books, with parental approval, that you can donate because you have simply outgrown them, have multiple copies of or read so many times that you have memorized them!  Please try to include all genres: fiction- fantasy, realistic fiction, mystery, historical fiction, traditional literature, science fiction, non-fiction- informational, biography, autobiography and poetry at all elementary levels from emergent picture books to beginner chapter books for fluent readers.  Donations can be placed in the large black bins found throughout the school!  Any book that we don’t feel fits our needs will be passed along to Andrea’s Angels through Anderson Bookshop.
