Bowie Raising Cane's location, Thursday, May 22, 2025 12 noon to 4:30 pm
A Spirit Day to support St. Pius X School will be held on Thursday, May 22, 2025 at the Bowie Raising Cane's Chicken location from 12 noon to 4:30 pm. The Bowie Raising Cane's is located at 16401 Heritage Boulevard, Bowie, MD 20716 (behind Lowe's Hardware); the phone number is 301-296-7035. Please mention that you are from St. Pius X Regional School when you visit the restaurant. If you order online or order using the app, use promo code RCFUND96 to ensure that our school gets credit for your order. Raising Cane's will donate 15 percent of net sales to Saint Pius School. Please attend this event to support our wonderful school community!
Every year St. Pius X Regional School must receive an updated pastoral recommendation from your Church for you to receive the Catholic Tuition Rate. It is your responsibility to obtain the pastoral recommendation and supply it to the school. This form MUST be received by May 15, 2025 in order to receive the Catholic Rate. If the Pastoral Agreement is received after the tuition agreement is signed your Catholic Rate will not begin until the month we receive it. THERE WILL BE NO REFUNDS ISSUED FOR PREVIOUSLY PAID MONTHS AT THE NON CATHOLIC RATE. *If you are a member of one of the four regional parishes (St. Pius, Sacred Heart, St. Edwards or Ascension) the School office will reach out to the Church office to confirm the families have qualified for a Pastoral Recommendation for the 2025-2026 School Year if you have provided one to us previously.
MAP stands for "measuring academic progress" (standardized tests).
Parents--please bring your well rested student(s) to school on time. Students should bring two sharpened pencils. Also, please ensure that your student(s) eat a hearty and healthy breakfast before school, especially on the MAP Assessment mornings.
