Community Tuition RatesAttached to this issue of Trojan News is the tuition rates for the 2016-2017 school year accompanied by the registration form (in the family envelope) for next year. After thoughtful dialogue and careful planning, the Finance Committee proposed a 6.4% increase in tuition to the School Board. The School Board supported and passed the tuition increase for the 2016-2017 school year. The most significant factor causing the tuition increase is that the Diocese of Oakland has increased the fixed costs (including employee benefits, worker’s compensation insurance, general liability insurance, and DCS School Assessments) this makes up over 4% of the tuition increase. Some of the fixed costs increases are reflected in the $15 increase in school registration fees. In addition to the increased fixed costs, the tuition increase is also due to the expected decrease in enrollment. This year, we will graduate thirty-three (33) 8th
grade students. At this time, there are twenty (20) students accepted for kindergarten for next year. This represents a decline of thirteen (13) students. We anticipate adding more students in other grades, but the addition of new students will likely not offset the difference from the graduating class to the incoming class. The School Board felt that it was necessary to set tuition rates assuming a realistic enrollment number to ensure that the school has sufficient resources in the coming year.WCEA/WASC Parent SurveySchool accreditation takes place every 6 years. All Catholic schools in the country are accredited by their state or regional boards of education to verify its academic standing as an educational institution. This year the staff and the board have been engaged in a process of providing valuable and necessary input that will be used as a self-study to document student learning at Assumption, to highlight educational and support programs and to outline how resources are stewarded for learning. The process is focused on student learning so much of the content is generated by teachers and staff.We are now at the point in the narrative where we want/need to receive input from parents. By taking 15 minutes to complete the survey you are assisting us with our accreditation requirement and providing much needed feedback. Here is the link to our WCEA/WASC Parent Survey. Please complete by Thursday, March 24. All classes with 100% parent participation will receive a free dress day.AuctionThank you Mrs. Renee Weiland and Mrs. Susan McCue and the Auction Team for all your hard work and love. Saturday evening was splendid.

and Active Christians who build community and make peace.
Prayer
Gracious Savior, When I reflect on kindness, I think of You. You exercise kindness, righteousness and justice. These are the things you delight in.In Your abundant love and mercy, You gave us Your Son, Jesus, to personify Your love. Your desire is to show us the incomparable richness of Your grace, expressed in Your kindness to us in Jesus Christ. It is by Your grace we are saved. It comforts me to know that You have such far-reaching, kind-hearted, Fatherly love for us. Your word says that whoever claims to live in Him must walk as Jesus did. This challenges me.Please forgive me for the times that I get irritable and impatient, and fail to demonstrate kindness to the people whom I love most. I pray that I would be rooted and established in Your love so that I can grasp how wide, long, high and deep your love for me is. How much I need to be filled with the fullness of Your love, God.Only with Your power at work in me is it possible for me to offer others the kindness, consideration and gracethat You take pleasure in.
-Amen
