Support Our School
Giving
Thank you for your interest in supporting Saint Isaac Jogues School! Our children’s education is founded on wisdom, faith, integrity, and humility, which can continue to grow thanks to SIJ and its supporters. We invite you to explore this section of our website and learn how your stewardship gift can make a difference.
Tuition alone does not cover the cost to educate our children at SIJ. Thankfully, our school has a rich history of school families and parish members supporting SIJ’s Catholic education. By working together as a larger body, we can meet the fundraising needs of our school, enrich the lives of our students, and strengthen the sense of belonging within the SIJ community

Annual Fund
Each year Saint Isaac Jogues School relies on the Annual Fund to (i) fully-fund faculty and staff annual and retention bonuses and (ii) partially cover critical school operating expenses. Your Annual Fund gift will help us to retain our exceptional, Christ-centered teachers whose calling helps our children to grow spiritually and academically. The school aims for 100% participation in the Annual Fund at the financial level that each school family is able, reflecting the high expectations for parent involvement in their children's education. The campaign runs during select months through the school year, with all school families being invited at that time to support the Annual Fund.

Parent Student Association and Gala
All parents of children enrolled at St. Isaac Jogues School are members of the Parent School Association. The association is led by an executive board of parents graciously volunteering their time. This group’s mission is to facilitate family events for the school, promote student programs, sponsor and direct fundraising activities and serve as a source of information for new families.
Our school community shares their time and talents with St. Isaac Jogues in many ways. Most volunteer efforts for the school are coordinated and directed through the Parent School Association. The main areas in which one can volunteer through the Parent School Association are listed below. We greatly value our dedicated volunteers as their contributions to Saint Isaac Jogues are truly immeasurable.
As with everything we do at St. Isaac Jogues, the safety and well-being of children comes first. As such, any school or religious education volunteer who may have an opportunity to be with children during parish, school or religious education sponsored events, are required to attend a Virtus Protecting God’s Children program. Of all the safe environment programs available, Protecting God’s Children was selected by the Diocese of Joliet because it was determined to be the best possible program primarily because it is comprehensive, professional and appealing. All first time volunteers at Saint Isaac Jogues (either the school or the parish) must first complete a “Protecting God’s Children” workshop as well as submit personal information for a background check.
The SIJ Parent School Association holds a Gala, with an auction component, on a yearly basis to raise funds to continually enhance our children’s experience within the school. The entire school community is invited to come together to support the school at this fun and festive event.
