Charger Check-In
January 25, 2024
A Note from Ms. Owens
We are so excited to kick off our celebration of Catholic Schools Week with our All-Family Mass at 9:30AM on Sunday! Following mass, all families are invited to stop in Kane Hall for light hospitality provided by our FSA and to visit classrooms. We will also put out our very large collection of lost and found items (e.g., school uniforms, other clothing, water bottles, lunch bags). I know the students are eager to show off this year's classrooms to you and to visit next year's rooms!
The first Tuesday session of this month's Beyond the Books (cancelled due to remote learning) has been rescheduled for Tuesday, February 13.
Beginning Thursday, February 8, we will return to academic eligibility for extracurricular activities - including athletics. The above link will take you to the SCA Parent-Student Handbook's section on extracurricular eligibility.
- This two-week notice will provide an opportunity for those students-athletes who are currently failing courses to improve their grades prior to February 8.
- This section of the handbook as been adjusted to include 4th grade in academic eligibilty.
Registration for New Families
Our online registration for new school families went live today. By 6PM on Friday, we will contact all families who submitted a Google Form prior to 4:30PM on Thursday. We are confirming status as registered parishioners and identifying students whose information has been submitted multiple times. Moving forward, submissions will receive a response within two school days. To our current families, thank you for you have done to let prospective SCA families know we were moving to an online process. And thank you for all you do keep St. Catherine a vibrant and positive community.
