Remember, these numbers are based on your family's adjusted gross income. More Hoosier families than ever qualify for School Choice vouchers!
• Multi-Child Tuition Discount Ends -
Beginning with the 2024-2025 school year, OLG Parish will no longer offer a multi-child discount. The reason? Because a student's School Choice voucher covers most if not all tuition, this eliminates the need for the parish to absorb the extra $500 per second, third, fourth, or additional child.
Most families will not see a significant difference in the 2024-2025 tuition bill. The exception is for large families who reside in the Center Grove school district.
Fear not. Thanks to our Institute for Quality Education Scholarships, we can offer help for large families that indicate a financial need and have children entering Kindergarten or higher grade levels. Please contact Jan McManus at jmcmanus@ol-g.org or Fran Reiley at fran@olgreenwood.org for more information.
Note: the multi-child discount did not apply towards pre-school or pre-Kindergarten students. Vouchers are not applicable to pre-school age children.

School News
• No School on Friday, February 16 - Teacher Professional Day.
• No School on Monday, February 19 - Presidents’ Day.
• Stations of the Cross will be every Friday of Lent at 2:15 in the church, beginning February 23rd. Please feel free to join us.
• Three Things Thursday is Thursday, February 22nd. Students may come to school out of uniform this day in exchange for a donation to the Archdiocesan Missions.
• Sam’s Fight shirts - There are some shirts still available in sizes YM, YL, and AM for $10 each. If you would like one, please send your order to the office.
• K- Gr 3 Fabulous Fairytale STEM Night - has been CANCELLED due to student and staff illnesses.
• 2023 Income Tax Returns - In order for families to qualify for School Choice scholarships, commonly referred to as vouchers, the State of Indiana requires proof of income. Your 2023 Federal Income Tax 1040 is the best and preferred way to demonstrate your family's adjusted gross income. We highly recommend that you submit this information as soon as possible. You can send a copy via email to kclady@ol-g.org, jmcmanus@ol-g.org, or drop it off to the front office. Questions? Please let us know.
• Income Eligibility Guidelines for 2024-2025 School Choice Vouchers -
The Income Eligibility Guidelines for School Choice vouchers increased for the 2024-2025 school year. You can access that information through this link. Income Eligibility Guidelines 2024-2025
Remember, these numbers are based on your family's adjusted gross income. More Hoosier families than ever qualify for School Choice vouchers!
• Multi-Child Tuition Discount Ends -
Beginning with the 2024-2025 school year, OLG Parish will no longer offer a multi-child discount. The reason? Because a student's School Choice voucher covers most if not all tuition, this eliminates the need for the parish to absorb the extra $500 per second, third, fourth, or additional child.
Most families will not see a significant difference in the 2024-2025 tuition bill. The exception is for large families who reside in the Center Grove school district.
Fear not. Thanks to our Institute for Quality Education Scholarships, we can offer help for large families that indicate a financial need and have children entering Kindergarten or higher grade levels. Please contact Jan McManus at jmcmanus@ol-g.org or Fran Reiley at fran@olgreenwood.org for more information.
Note: the multi-child discount did not apply towards pre-school or pre-Kindergarten students. Vouchers are not applicable to pre-school age children.
