Enrollment & Financial Aid Information 2023 - 2024
Open enrollment to attend St. Cecilia Cathedral Grade School will open during Catholic Schools Week (January 28 - February 2). We will be utilizing the same online process through Blackbaud this year. Deadline for enrollment for current students is May 1, 2023. After that date, enrollment will open to new families who have toured throughout the school year and been accepted to enroll.
In the meantime, please check out the Children's Scholarship Fund. Applications open on February 14 and close on May 5. We received 31 scholarships for a total of $48,425 for this school year from Children's Scholarship Fund (CSF). Every dollar we received from CSF helps our parish/school budget so we encourage all who qualify for CSF to apply. Did you know that if you are awarded funding for the 23-24 school year, those dollars have the potential to be awarded to your child up through their 8th grade year. CSF is a separate tuition-assistance program from our parish financial aid. CSF is a scholarship and St. Cecilia parish is tuition aid.
Advent - Week 1 - Hope
Advent - Week 1 - Hope
Advent is a time of preparation that directs our hearts and minds to Christ's second coming at the end of time and to the anniversary of Our Lord's birth on Christmas. Below is an Advent music list that our Anna Kolterman, our school liturgist, put together for our classrooms. Feel free to listen to this in the car on the way to school, while making supper, or really whenever you want to!
There are also awesome Advent music lists on Hallow, a Catholic meditation, sleep, and prayer app. So many options to help you prepare your mind, heart, and home for Christmas.

Playground Update - Joy of Giving
Playground Update - Joy of Giving May 2nd - 17th
We are currently at 93% of our fundraising goal for the school playground! Thankful for ABC and Home & School for providing a $13,500 donation this past month.
Some of you have asked "We are so close to our goal, what else can we do?!" The next chance to donate for the playground is through Joy of Giving Day. This 24-hour day of giving benefits all parishes, schools, ministries, and organizations of the Archdiocese of Omaha.
We have been in contact with our playground company and they said construction could start as early as August if we can get our funding wrapped up this Spring! Help be a part of making this dream come true for our students by donating.
