  Dear Parents,
  
  Our phased enrollment for 2022 - 2023 Academic School Year is from Tuesday, January 18^th to Friday, January 28^th.   Open enrollment for any remaining available spots will begin Monday, January 31^st.
  
  The schedule for the phased enrollment is January 18^th to January 21^th for current enrolled families returning.  January 24^th to January 28^th is open to active St. Joseph parishioners, St. Peter active parishioners and additional active parishioners from neighboring parishes. Open enrollment for all others begins January 31^st.
  
  We have a limit of 24 students with few exceptions in classes K through 8^th grade. Pre-school has even lower limits set by the state.
  
  Due to inflation and rising costs across the board, we will be raising the tuition this year. Regular tuition will be $5,250. Active parishioner tuition will be $3,750. We know that this may be a difficulty for some families. Please know that the actual cost for each student is $6,500 and the parish subsidizes all students. 
  
  Families should be aware of the Ohio EdChoice Expansion Scholarship Program which pays up to $5,500 per child in grades K through 8 depending upon your financial eligibility. This is a great opportunity for many families and may be an option for some parishioners as well.  
  
  Eligibility for the Traditional EdChoice Scholarship has changed. The State of Ohio has not currently updated the list of Designated Schools. New students residing in one of the designated school districts can apply for EdChoice Traditional Scholarship to send their child to a private school regardless of their financial status.  The application period for both EdChoice Scholarships are planned to begin in February or March.  The $5,500 amount also applies to Traditional EdChoice.
  
  Families that receive the active parishioner discount are expected to fully participate in the life of the parish. This includes attending various parish events and celebrations as well as weekly mass attendance in which there will be a sign in book for all parishioner families at both St. Joseph and St. Peter.
  
  Cordially in Christ,
  
  Fr. Zachary Coulter, Parish Priest, Administrator
