| FINANCIAL POLICIES
Grades TK through seventh are receiving the Financial Policies for the 2019-2020 school year today (effective 8/1/19). We have managed to keep the tuition increase at approximately 5% despite the salary increase for all faculty and staff members, the 8% projected increase in the cost of employee benefits for the coming school year, as well as the increased cost of textbooks, school supplies and activities.
INTERNET SAFETY
Do you know what your kids are doing online? Facebook? Instagram? Snapchat? Twitter? To help kids maximize the Internet's benefits -- while minimizing the risks -- Common Sense Media offers the latest research, tips, and tools on what really keeps kids safe. Jill Murphy of Common Sense Media says "Parents are increasingly frustrated with feeling surprised or caught off guard by what is being in front of their kids." With that being said, here are some helpful links to keep your children safe online.
1. Talk to your child about internet safety. How? Check out these links for more information. 2. Know your child's usernames and passwords.

TEACHING SAFETY - EMPOWERING GOD'S CHILDREN PROGRAM
Over the next month, we will present a sexual abuse prevention program, the Teaching Safety – Empowering God's Children program, to our students. This program is provided to us by the Archdiocese of San Francisco, and is a part of our ongoing effort to help create and maintain a safe environment for children and to protect all children from sexual abuse. If you determine that you DO NOT want your child to participate, please complete this "opt-out" form, and return it to your child's teacher no later than Friday, March 15.
