*Congratulations Mrs. Silkworth, our St. Charles Borromeo 2021-2022 Christ the Teacher Award recipient!
St. Charles Borromeo School is delighted to announce Mrs. Rebecca Silkworth as our 2021-2022 Christ the Teacher award recipient. A graduate of St. Charles, Mrs. Silkworth is currently celebrating her 13th year with us teaching both math and science in grade six.  A Master Teacher, she works tirelessly to provide strong academic instruction, while also being a steady source of faith, support, and encouragement for her students each year. As one parent shared, “Mrs. Silkworth was there for my child when she was struggling. She provided caring and motivated my daughter to enjoy learning and want to be at school every day!” Another added that she was, “An all-around good teacher in every aspect!”
    As a School Community, we proudly join her husband Bill and daughter Francesca in congratulating Mrs. Silkworth on receiving this award.  Mrs. Silkworth truly is a ‘light’ to her students and a caring example of the Christ the Teacher Award!

Pre-K4 & Kindergarten Registration Coming Soon! January 18, 2022!
You are invited to our Kindergarten & Pre-Kindergarten registration day on Tuesday, January 18th. Registration will be held in the afternoon from 1:15-2:30 p.m. in Rooms C & D of the Hession Center, or you may attend the evening session from 6:00-7:00 p.m.  All parents are asked to park in the rear of the school in the church parking lot and enter through door # 3 near the gym. Masks will be provided. If experiencing COVID symptoms, please call the school office (484-3392) to arrange for an alternate registration day.
Kindergarten: For this coming school year 2022-2023, we will be offering full-day Kindergarten with classroom size limits of 23 students per class with an aide assisting the teacher.  Our school day runs from 7:50 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. If needed, for an additional fee, BeforeCare and AfterCare service is available for all students.
Initial tuition costs are projected to be $3972 ($331 per month over 12 months) for subsidized families, and $6,720 ($560 per month over 12 months) for non-subsidized families. The registration fee of $50 is included in the overall tuition costs and is not a required payment at this time. 

Pre-Kindergarten four-year-old Program:  We will be offering two sections of five-day Pre-Kindergarten classes (A.M., P.M., or Full-day). Our morning program will run from 7:50 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. and our afternoon program will run from 11:50 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. The full-day program is 7:50 am - 3:00 pm.
Initial tuition costs are projected to be $1,980 ($165 per month over 12 months) per half-day, or $3,972 ($331 per month over 12 months) for the full-day program. A separate $50 Pre-K registration fee is required. 
Our January registration for our Kindergarten and Pre-K 4 Programs is early enough to ensure that parish families of St. Charles Borromeo have a first opportunity to register their children. Please bring to registration:
1.  A copy of your child’s Social Security card and a copy of your child’s immunization record
2.  The $50.00 nonrefundable registration fee

This is a very exciting time for our parents and young people.  We want to ensure your child’s school experience is a faith-filled, engaging, and supportive experience.  I thank you for your time, and I look forward to having your child with us next year. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call me at the school office (260) 484-3392 or email schooloffice@stcharlesschoolfw.org. Sincerely - Robert Sordelet, Principal
