2010-2011 Registration for Returning Students is Due Now!

Registration for returning students and their siblings who will be new to the school for the 2010-2011 school year is being conducted online.  Letters were mailed on January 11 containing your User ID and Password.  This information is required in order to get into the registration system.  Please keep this information in a safe place as it will be used to access additional online school information in the future.  If you did not receive a letter, please call the school office.

In addition to your login information, you should also have your emergency contact and medical information available.  During the registration process you will have the opportunity to verify the name and address information that we currently have on file and to enter your emergency contact information and the names of your doctor, dentist and preferred hospital. You will also be asked a few questions such as whether or not you want your information to appear in the school directory (which will also be online soon). 

The online registration process should take about 5 minutes to complete.  Once you have submitted the registration online, we will be notified and you will be required to send into the school office a processing fee of $25 per student and a deposit of $150 per student registered.  You must also submit an updated Parish Confirmation Form (click on forms link above) to determine your eligibility for the Catholic tuition rate.  If you are registering a new sibling, we will also need copies of his/her birth & baptismal certificates. 

Once all this information has been received by the school, we will send you a Family Tuition Contract that must be signed and returned.  Your registration is not complete until all deposits, fees and forms, both online and offline, are received by the school.  If you have any questions, please call the school office.

SCHOOL CANCELLATIONS, DELAYED OPENINGS, AND EARLY DISMISSALS DUE TO WINTER WEATHER 

Parents should consult the school website or watch WTNH, WFSB, or WNBC TV to verify cancellation or delay of school because of adverse conditions.  St. Bridget School follows the decision of Cheshire Public Schools with regard to cancellation or delay.  Delays are most often 90 minutes.  In the event of a delayed opening, the Pre-K programs will operate as follows:  A.M.  10:30 to 12:15; Full Day  10:30 to 3:00

BAND - INCLEMENT WEATHER REMINDER

If St. Bridget School has a delayed opening, the before school band rehearsal will be automatically canceled.  Lessons will still occur during the school day on a modified schedule, so please bring instruments and materials to school.  If school is dismissed early due to inclement weather, any remaining lessons or after school help will be canceled.  If the weather is questionable for regional or All-State Band, call the Future Musicians office at (860-342-4485).
