Dear St. Maria Goretti Catholic School Families,

I hope that you are enjoying your summer so far.

Please remember that you will be charged a school supply fee this year, we will NOT need to purchase school supplies. You will only need to get your child a backpack and lunch box for the upcoming school year.

Mark your calendars for Meet the Teacher Night on Thursday, August 10, 2023, from 4:00 PM-7:00 PM.

The summer reading assignments are listed below. Please encourage your child(ren) to read every day!

Students in grades 6-8 are encouraged to work on their service hours this summer. Students can volunteer to work at a local vacation bible school, volunteer at Mission Arlington, or serve at weekend Masses. Hours cannot be earned for serving weekday Masses or doing household chores. These hours will be turned in to Sister Thuan by the end of the first quarter. See the form below.

The SMGCS Yearbook sale ends FRIDAY! You can also order an ad for your graduating 8th grader, 2nd grader making their first communion or any student to celebrate an accomplishment. Use this link to order your yearbook or ad today.

Finally, the school office will be closed from June 26-July 7, 2023. We will return on July 10, 2023.

Thank you for being so committed to our Catholic School. Have a wonderful summer.

St. Maria Goretti, Pray for Us!

Blessings,
