Dear Families,

The year has flown by, and we are already reviewing and planning for next school year.

If you are a MOScholars family, we ask that you submit your bill directly to MOScholars. Please also notify Karina in the front office if you have applied so we can adjust your payment schedule accordingly.

MOScholars is available for tuition families. The application deadline for this year has passed. If they reopen enrollment, I will share with families.

To learn more about MOScholars, please visit: Qualification Check - Herzog Tomorrow Foundation

You may sign up to be notified when applications re-open on the webpage. 

After pre-qualifying, families will receive a link to formally apply with the Missouri State Treasurer’s Office. At that stage, applicants will be required to upload tax information, proof of residency (such as a driver’s license or utility bill), and other documentation to verify eligibility.

Qualifying criteria have not changed for the 2026–27 school year. Per state law, to qualify for MOScholars, the student must be a legal Missouri resident and meet one of the following conditions:

• Have a formal IEP/ISP issued within the past 36 months; OR
• Have a household income under 300% of the reduced lunch threshold (for example, a family of four with a household income of $178,433 or less this year) AND meet one of the following:
• Entering Kindergarten or 1st Grade; OR
• Attended a public school for at least one semester during the past 12 months; OR
• Be a sibling of a renewal scholarship student.

We would also like to extend a big congratulations to Deb and our cafeteria team for receiving a 100% on their recent health department lunch inspection, way to go, ladies!

Please check you parent portal for any remaining fees that are due. Lunch balances are accrued daily as the student eats. I am going to push lunches to billing your account daily so you can keep up with what is due. When you look at your balance you can add any additional days ($2.75/day) fee to that and prepay for the rest of the year. Please call Kelley in the school office if you have any questions regarding fees due. Thank you!!

May Crowning will take place during the Wednesday school Mass on May 6. We are asking all students to join in on the celebration by bringing a single flower to their teachers when they arrive to school that will then be placed in a class vase and brought to the Mass.

Pack 4 Fundraiser!

 Pack 4 is hosting a fundraiser at West Main Pizza on May 5th, and we’re hoping to spread the word to as many families as possible. This event is a great opportunity for our Pack to raise funds while also supporting a local business, and it should be a fun, easy way for families to participate.
