SIGN UP NOW FOR T.R.I.P.
TO REDUCE YOUR TUITION
COSTS FOR NEXT YEAR!
The Tuition Reduction Incentive Program (T.R.I.P.) is an exciting opportunity to accumulate
credit toward tuition costs. Families who use T.R.I.P. can potentially reduce their tuition by
hundreds of dollars each year by shopping at participating merchants. Through T.R.I.P., gift
certificates from grocery stores, restaurants and many other businesses are purchased at a
discount. The certificates are then sold to participating families at face value, with the discount
passed on in the form of a tuition credit. Anyone can participate in T.R.I.P. and help a family
reduce their tuition. Often other family members, such as grandparents, aunts, uncles, church
members and friends enroll in T.R.I.P. and designate their credits to a family tuition account at
the school. If you are already enrolled in T.R.I.P. at the elementary level, you may direct your
tuition reduction in the amount you would like to Lumen Christi at any time.

R EGISTR ATION
“BE WHO YOU ARE,
AND BE THAT WELL”
– St. Francis de Sales
Mrs. Kristovic visits rising grade 7 at the
Jackson Catholic Elementary Schools.
At Lumen Christi, we are charged with creating Disciples of Christ,
preparing students to employ their faith, academic excellence, and
leadership to change the world for Christ. The student’s success plan
begins with Grade 6 students rising to Grade 7 when they register for
courses. On March 8th, 9th, and 10th, Mrs. Kristovic will visit the
Jackson Catholic elementary schools and provide your student with a
course registration sheet that will guide you through course selections.
The elementary schools work alongside our faculty, aligning curriculum
to prepare your student for courses offered at the middle school level and
will help you decide if you need assistance. We are committed to student
success and working with you and your student to be their personal best.
Students experience a well-rounded set of academic core courses in
Grade 7 to include math, science, English, literature and religion. Starting
in Grade 7, students have more choices. Most students rotate through
a series of one-quarter courses that serve to enrich their educational
experience, and some students choose a full year of band, forgoing the
rotation of enrichment courses. Enrichment courses include: Physical
Education, General Music, Art, and Technology. Grade 7 students have
a choice of Pre-Algebra or an Intermediate Algebra course that advances
math eligibility for Calculus by the end of high school.
RISING GRADES 7 – 8
Course Selection Registration Advisory
Workshop on March 17th
Following Mrs. Kristovic’s visit to the Jackson Catholic elementary
schools to provide students course selection information sheets, you
and your student are invited to an Advisory Workshop on Thursday,
March 17th to register for course selections. The Workshop will be
from 5– 7 pm in the Lumen Christi Library.
We ask parents to bring their course selection sheet to the Workshop,
where Lumen Christi faculty will be on hand to answer questions about
course selections and the opportunities ahead for students. We will help
you with decisions and assist with the construction of a roadmap that will
help you and your student steer a path for personal success as a Titan.
If you should choose not to attend the workshop, your student must turn
in their signed form to their 6th grade teacher by Tuesday, March 22nd.

Textbooks & Technology
Parents begin to look at what their student will need for class
instruction as early as June. Our Textbook List is found on
our website under ‘Textbooks & Technology.’ Textbooks
may be purchased online from any textbook seller website —
using the ISBN number provided on the textbook list. This list
is for Grades 7-12 and includes textbooks, workbooks, class
fees, and classroom textbook rental fees required for a given
course.
In addition to this list, we provide a Grade 7 & 8 Supply List
to help Grade 6 students transition to middle school and be
ready for the first day of school. As a convenience, a Parent
Textbook Exchange is provided on the LC website (also under
‘Textbooks & Technology’) where parents may communicate
with each other regarding purchasing/trading used books.
Grade 7 and Grade 8 parents purchase textbooks independently
using the textbook exchange or other online retailers.
Please Note that Grade 7 students do not purchase an iPad
for class instruction and instead use the school-owned
Chromebooks, Library Lab, and Grade 7 and 8 technology
lab to familiarize themselves with a digital learning platform.
Grade 8 students, who take advancement courses, may choose
to purchase an iPad and download textbook applications for
a fee at Packet Pick Up or purchase a hardcover textbook for
class.
REMEMBER!
FACTS Enrollment is required to register course
selections and attend the Workshops.
