Financial Challenges

ST. FRANCES CABRINI SCHOOL

529 Hawthorn Dr. – West Bend, WI 53095

December 8th, 2011

Dear Parents:

     Due to the pressing financial challenges that the parish and school are currently confronting, it is very likely that tuition for the 2012-2013 school year will be increased at a level greater than we have been accustomed to in recent years. 

     The school committee, with Mr. Quinn and the other advisory committees of the parish, are trying to assess what sort of impact a more substantial tuition increase would have on our families.  Variables that we are considering include how to predict our enrollment numbers for next year, especially in light of a larger tuition increase; our ability to internally generate tuition assistance monies for families most in need; and the degree to which the cost of an education at Saint Frances Cabrini is a selling point for our families relative to the other reasons why many of you consider our school to be the valuable part of your child’s future that it is.

     With these variables in mind we have prepared a short financial survey for you to complete.  Your honest and timely response to these questions is greatly appreciated.  Please understand that the financial realities we are confronting have already dictated some of the budget constraints that we have to work within for the next few years, but your responses are still important to help us with our planning and marketing initiatives.  

     Thanks again for your participation and for your ongoing support of our parish and our school.

The Saint Frances Cabrini School Committee
