Each family is required to generate $200 of profit for the school through the Scrip program. Scrip purchased after May 31 will be applied to next year's commitment.

On the Scrip report that has been sent home in the family folder, the number listed under 'Contribution' is the amount that shows how much you have accumulated in profit.

If you have already reached your obligation of $200 profit, congratulations! But don't stop getting your gift cards. We still need to reach our $18,000 yearly goal. As of today, we have $15,330.

If you still have not met your $200 obligation, don't worry. You have until May 31st. After that, you will be charged the amount that you have not met.

Please take a moment to review your report and if you have any questions or concerns, please be sure to contact Adriana H. via email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or call 425-503-9156.

It is that time of year to reflect about our school. There are two surveys we would like for you to complete. The first is to reflect on Parent Club this year. It is enclosed in your family folder. The second survey ia a parent survey about our school online at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/stpiusxparents

The final date for this survey to be completed is Wednesday, May 29. The results will be collected and reviewed by the Pastor, principal, faculty, and school commission members. Surveys allow us to validate many areas of strength and look at areas of concern that may need improvement. These surveys will only take a few minutes but will provide useful information for the future. Thank you for your suuport.
